NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Wheatgerm with Garlic 28% protein.
Suitable for medaka, koi, goldfish during the autumn, winter, and spring when the temperatures drop and the food protein levels need to be reduced.
Contains key components:-
Garlic - The inclusion of garlic stimulates the appetite of fish, and the sulfur-rich compounds found in garlic can permeate a fish's skin. Garlic is well-known for repelling skin parasites such as white spot, flukes and fish lice which can attack vulnerable, overwintering fish.
Probiotic - The combination of probiotic bacteria and a prebiotic ensures a healthy, active population of gut bacteria and digestive enzymes to efficiently break down food to release all the vital nutrients it contains, whilst reducing waste to keep your pond clean and clear.
Crude protein (28%) - Unlike during the warmer season, fish will not grow as quickly in winter because their metabolism slows. A low-protein diet will assist these fish in other daily functions, and will reduce the risk of an unsightly slick forming on the surface of your pond.
As water temperatures begin to fall, switching to a highly digestible wheatgerm diet helps support your medaka through the cooler seasons. NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Wheatgerm with Garlic is an excellent choice for autumn, winter, and spring, when slower metabolisms require a food that is gentle on the digestive system.
Its wheatgerm-based formula is enriched with probiotics, prebiotics, and garlic to help maintain digestive health, support the immune system, and encourage a strong feeding response during periods of cooler water.
Japanese Breeder’s Recommendation
In Japan, many breeders transition from high-protein summer foods to wheatgerm-based diets as temperatures decline. This seasonal approach helps maintain body condition, supports efficient digestion, and prepares fish for a healthy start to the breeding season when warmer weather returns.
Features
Premium wheatgerm formula for cooler water feeding.
Highly digestible to support slower metabolisms.
Added probiotics and prebiotics for digestive health.
Garlic to encourage feeding and support natural immunity.
Helps maintain excellent body condition through autumn, winter, and early spring.
Suitable for medaka and other ornamental pond fish.
Feeding Guide
Feed only when your medaka are active and seeking food. Offer small amounts that can be eaten within a few minutes. As water temperatures continue to fall, reduce both the quantity and frequency of feeding. During prolonged periods of very cold weather, when fish become dormant and stop feeding naturally, discontinue feeding until activity resumes with warmer conditions.
The Medaka Emporium Tip: A seasonal feeding programme—high-protein foods in summer, followed by a wheatgerm-based diet through the cooler months—is widely practised by Japanese breeders to support long-term health, efficient digestion, and strong breeding performance year after year.
Fish food should only be used for up to a year after opening due to a reduction in the levels of vitamins and minerals etc. Food should also be stored in a cool dry place, or a refrigerator.
I am selling 50g packets of food that have been taken from a larger bag so the original packaging is not available. The smallest size bag that this food can be purchased as is 500g, but since you will only be using a small amount within the 12 month period, you will be wasting a considerable amount.
These are small pellets that can be crushed / ground down to a suitable size for medaka. I use a spice grinder.
