{"title":"Troubleshooting feed","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat do sturgeons eat? What is the right sturgeon food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn nature, sturgeons feed on insects and worms, which they search for on the bottom of the water and then suck up. However, in an artificial pond, sturgeons will not find enough food, so high-quality \u003cstrong\u003esturgeon food\u003c\/strong\u003e must be supplemented. Sturgeons have high demands on their diet and need food that they can pick up from the bottom. Special sturgeon food has been developed for this purpose, which quickly sinks to the bottom of the pond, allowing the sturgeon to quickly consume its food. It is not enough to feed sturgeons in an artificial pond with fresh food such as insects or larvae. Sturgeons need a very balanced diet of fish meal, vegetable proteins, and oils. Only in this way can you ensure the health, growth, and well-being of your sturgeons.\n\nThe amount of sturgeon food should be evenly distributed throughout the day, with the fish being most active in the evening hours. By feeding smaller amounts, you prevent leftover sturgeon food from polluting the water quality of your pond.\n\nSturgeons are carnivores and primarily eat worms, insect larvae, and mollusks. Therefore, a plant-based diet is not the first choice for these fish. Vegetable proteins can only be metabolized insufficiently. A sturgeon will not be satiated in the long run on a predominantly plant-based diet and will starve. The right sturgeon food should contain fish meal or another source of animal proteins as a main ingredient.\n\nIn many ponds, sturgeons are kept together with other fish, such as koi. If this is the case and sturgeons and koi live together in a pond, the feeding should be adapted to the respective fish species. The koi should first be fed with koi food on the water surface so that they do not eat the sinking sturgeon food when the sturgeons are being fed.\n\nSince the health of your sturgeons also depends on the right diet, we have tested various sturgeon foods and have only included the best sturgeon food in our product range. Whether sturgeon food for large or small – we have high-quality and suitable sturgeon food for your fish in the highest quality.","products":[{"product_id":"wettsteins-stoerfutter-5kg-all-season-sinkend","title":"Wettstein's Sturgeon Food - All Season, sinking, 5 kg 4.5mm pellet size (sold out)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWettstein's Sturgeon Food - All Season, sinking, 5 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWettstein's Sturgeon Food is our sturgeon food line for year-round use.
