Last month we gave you a breakdown of one of our most popular kinds of cold weather fish food: Microbe Lift Legacy. This month we’re going to give a similar synopsis of another great brand we carry: Blackwater Wheat Germ Cool Season Koi Food.
As we’ve discussed before, your fish’s dietary needs change based on the weather. Once the temperatures start falling, their metabolism slows down, meaning they need to be given food that is easy to digest.
How does Blackwater's brand of cold weather fish food meet this need?
Blackwater Wheat Germ food provides a low fat diet that is highly digestible. Its primary ingredient, as you may have guessed, is wheat germ. This ingredient is great to see in cold weather fish food, because it is designed to take the place of protein and give fish nutrients in a form their systems can handle.
Some of the other key ingredients include: premium grade fish meal, wheat, dried yeast culture, soy protein concentrate and wheat flour. All of these things are easy on your fish’s digestive systems, which makes this food a great choice during the cold winter months.
Something you might not know: this cold weather fish food can also be used in the spring to aid in spawning. Because it’s low in fat, it helps reduce the buildup of fat in your fish’s ovaries, which may reduce the incidence of “egg bound” females. Pretty neat!
The weather is turning colder quickly, so make sure you make the switch to cold weather fish food. Your fish – and their digestive systems – will thank you.
