Wettstein's Sturgeon Food - All Season, Sinking, 5 Kg

Wettstein's Sturgeon Food is our sturgeon feed line for year-round use. It is a high-quality, sinking feed. To provide sturgeons with optimal nutrition, specially developed sturgeon food must be used. The sturgeon food consists of high-quality fish meals, proteins, and carbohydrates, supplemented with essential micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and trace elements). The optimal amount of feed for sturgeons is 1% of their body weight per day.

Since sturgeons have an inferior mouth (except for Beluga sturgeon and Paddlefish), they only take their food from the bottom of the pond, so we feed sinking food. The food has a strong natural odor, similar to the fish's natural diet (insect larvae, worms, mollusks). Sturgeons should be fed as frequently as possible throughout the day in small amounts, as they completely ignore food that has been in the pond for longer than 1 hour. Generally, sturgeons should always be fed in the same place and on a clean substrate.

If sturgeons are kept with koi, the koi should always be fed sufficiently at the water surface first, otherwise, they would eat the sturgeon's food. If this is the case, feeding must be done in the dark, as sturgeons are more nocturnal. When keeping large koi, the sturgeons should also be large enough. Another option would be to use a PVC pipe to deliver the food directly to the bottom of the pond, past the koi.
