Tetra Pond Spring & Fall Diet is a floating stick food built around wheat germ, an ingredient chosen for its digestibility even in cold water. The formula is intended for the transitional weeks of spring and fall, when pond metabolism slows and fish need nutrition that is easy to process. Sticks float on the surface so fish can feed at the top of the pond, and the lightweight, highly digestible composition is designed to leave less waste behind in the water. The recipe includes wheat germ meal along with grain and plant-protein ingredients, plus added vitamins including stabilized vitamin C. It is intended for koi, ornamental goldfish and other outdoor pond fish of varying sizes. The product ships as a packaged dry food and requires no assembly or preparation before feeding.
