MICROBE-LIFT Legacy Koi and Goldfish Foods |
Koi will eat
practically anything humans will eat. They are classified as "omnivores"
which means they wil eat foods which are derived from plants and animals.
It is important to make sure your koi get fed a daily diet that is "well
balanced". The Microbe-Lift Legacy 7-Day Balanced Feeding System is prepared
to provide the highest level of all required nutrients. All six nutrients
are formulated into all Microbe-Lift Koi & Goldfish Foods. There are
proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water (moisture content).
These nutrients provide your koi with body heat, energy, growth material
and strengthen their immune system Every koi has its own nutrient
requirements due to its individual size, sex, environments and genetic
make-up. Koi are ravenous feeders. They will consume a lot of food
in short periods. Koi have no stomach so while we say it is important to
feed them at least twice a day, morning and evening, smaller feedings more
often is the more preferred method.
Legacy Koi
and Goldfish Food is a scientific diet for fish. Legacy foods are made
by the extrusion process - not pelleting. During extrusion, the cell walls
of the organic substances contained in the food are disintegrated under
pressure. The nutrients hidden in these cells are thus easily accessible
for digesting agents, resulting in much higher digestibility in comparison
with pelleted or flaked food. Additionally, the Legacy foods have an extremely
low phosphorous content. This keeps fish waste to a minimum and helps to
ensure superior water quality.

High Growth & Energy
|
In the late spring, when the warmer temperatures arrive, koi and goldfish need a boost of protein for growth since they have depleted their fat reserves over the winter. In the fall, a higher protein diet is also required since pond fish need to bulk up in preparation for their winter fast. Use this feed at a minimum temperature of 20°C (68°F). You can use this feed up to four times per day. Feed between 2 % - 3 % of the fishes body weight per day.

The cool water diet is made with lesser amounts of protein but contains wheat germ which is easily digested.

Sinking Food
|
Sinking (transitional) food pellets are a great way to make sure your newly added pond fish receive balanced meals while adjusting to their new surroundings. Generally, new fish are "shy" until they become more familiar with their new environment. Sinking food is also good for stressed or sick fish which usually stay close to the bottom of the pond.

Koi Kupcakes

Koi Kupcakes are a floating treat that allows you to watch your koi feed and exercise all at the same time. Your fish must energetically push the bobbing kupcake around your pond in order to eat it, helping to prevent over-feeding and affording an opportunity for every fish - not just bullies.
