Floating pellets, 32% protein and a five-minute limit

Protein makes up 32% of the food, and the recipe lists fish meal among its special ingredients.

• The blend includes vitamins, minerals and amino acids alongside the protein.
• The pellets soften once they are in the water, which the manufacturer links to digestion.
• Feeding can happen up to five times a day, with each portion limited to what the fish clear in five minutes.
• The food is made for everyday feeding through the warmer months, when the water is above 60°F and the fish are active.

Does this food suit your pond?

Check the water first: the manufacturer calls for temperatures above 60°F with active fish, and describes the food as everyday feeding for the warmer months. The pellets are sized for adult fish of 4 inches or larger, so smaller fish fall outside that size.

Backyard ponds, water gardens and other fishponds are the stated settings, and the food is made for freshwater pond fish rather than marine aquariums. If your pond is below 60°F or the fish are not active, this bag is not the one the directions describe.
