Nishikoi Wheat Germ Koi Food 11 lbs $61.99 w/ $1.00 Koi Cash Credit 22 lbs $96.99 w/ $1.00 Koi Cash Credit Nishikoi Wheat Germ Koi Food is a highly digestible, vegetable-based, low protein diet ideal for feeding at low temperatures in spring and autumn. The high Wheat Germ content improves digestion at cooler temperatures keeping ammonia excretion to a minimum. This is vital at periods of reduced filter performance during low temperatures. 20% Protein for growth Stabilized Vitamin C Color Enhancers Floating fish feed at the surface Foil-sealed for freshness _ Guaranteed Analysis: Protein 20% Oil 6% Ash 2.5% Fibre 2.5% Ingredients: Rice, wheat, maize gluten, wheatgerm, bran, fish oil, fish meal, soya, spirulina, astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, EU permitted colourants and antioxidants Importance of Wheat Germ: Wheatgerm is the highly nutritious ´heart? of a wheat grain. It provides a high quality protein source that is easily digested and has been the favorite foundation ingredient for low protein diets for many years. Koi and other pondfish are poikilothermic (cold-blooded) where their body temperature and metabolic rate is governed by the temperature of the surrounding water. As the water temperature rises from 8?C to 20?C, the metabolic rate increases as does a fish?s ability to digest and assimilate increasing levels of protein from the diet. However, when water temperatures are hovering around the 8?C to 12?C mark, metabolic rates and digestion efficiencies are low, as is a fish?s protein requirements. For this reason, it is wise to offer a low protein vegetable-based diet. _If a higher protein diet was offered to koi and other pond fish, a significant quantity of protein would not used for growth or energy but simply wasted and excreted, largely as toxic ammonia. A wheatgerm diet allows fish to feed on a diet to meet their lower protein requirements which leads to better water quality. When fed at low water temperatures, Nishikoi Wheatgerm provides koi and other pondfish with sufficient highly digestible vegetable-based protein, reducing excretion of toxic ammonia and thereby improving water quality.
