Wettstein's Sturgeon Food – All Season, sinking, 5 kg

Wettstein's Sturgeon Food is our sturgeon food line for year-round use. It is a high-quality, sinking food. To provide sturgeon with optimal nutrition, food specifically developed for sturgeon 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 food for sturgeon is 1% of body weight per day.

Since sturgeon have a subterminal mouth (except for Beluga sturgeon and Paddlefish), they only feed from the bottom of the pond, so we feed sinking food. The food has a strong natural odor, which resembles the fish's natural diet (insect larvae, worms, mollusks). Sturgeon should be fed as often as possible throughout the day in small amounts, as they completely ignore food that lies in the pond for more than 1 hour. Generally, sturgeon should always be fed in the same place and on a clean substrate.

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