What Is Nishikoi Sinking Food?

Nishikoi Sinking is a small pellet food made specifically for bottom eating fish such as Sturgeon and Sterlets and has all the correct ingredients including stabilised vitamin C for their livelihood and wellbeing.

Other bottom-feeding fish, such as Tench will also thrive on this food.

When should I Feed My Sturgeon?

All-year-round. Sturgeon are very much a cold-water fish, and compared to the other species in the pond not only will the Sturgeon want to eat all year but they need to as well.

In the Winter reduce the Sinking Food amount and offer 2 or 3 times per week.

Can I Feed My Sturgeons with Normal Koi Food?

Yes, but they will more than likely be outpaced by the other pond fish which are used to surface feeding and result in problems for the Sturgeon.

Sturgeon are also poor surface eaters compared to Koi or Goldfish and have problems finding it.

What Happens if my Koi Eat The Sinking Food?

Nothing, but it is not the ideal diet for the long-term. If both Koi and Sturgeon fish are kept in the same pond, try feeding the Koi first with their normal floating pellet, and whilst they are busy eating that also adds some Sinking Food to the pond. This food will sink whilst most of the Koi are feeding on the surface and allows time for the Sturgeon to find and eat the food before then other inhabitants do.
