Tetra Pond Koi Sticks Review
Tetra Pond Koi Sticks are specially formulated to provide well balanced nutrition for koi as well as other pond fish. Koi Sticks are designed to float on the water’s surface so they can be quickly eaten before sinking to the bottom. This prevents ponds from being overly polluted with uneaten food while allowing you to observe these beautiful fish while eating. These sticks soften when they come in contact with the water which causes them to be digested easily by koi and other types of pond fish.Koi fish do not have stomachs so it is impossible for them to hold food for digestion. When they ingest food, it goes straight into the intestines to be digested until it can be excreted. The digestive tracts of koi fish are not very long so it is more practical to feed less food more times a day in order for them to get all of their daily requirements. It is also very important for them to be able to absorb all of their much needed nutrition as quickly as possible before it gets expelled into their waste. Tetra Pond Koi Sticks are formulated to maximize nutrient absorption and to minimize waste output. Younger koi have even shorter intestinal tracts so they need foods that are even richer in protein than those fed to adults. Tetra brand has years of intense research backing their products so it is no coincidence that they have mastered the formula to make digestion easier for koi fish.
