FAQs

What kind of fish is this food suitable for?

Tetra Floating Pond Sticks are a complete food suitable for all types of pond fish.

How often should I feed my fish?

You should feed your fish 2-4 times a day, depending on the temperature.

What should I do if the water temperature is below 10°C?

Below 10°C, you should stop feeding Tetra Floating Pond Sticks and switch to Tetra Pond Wheatgerm Sticks, as fish require different nutrition in colder water.

Do these sticks sink or float?

These are Floating Pond Sticks, meaning they float on the surface of the water, making it easy to observe your fish feeding.

How do these sticks help with pond water quality?

The special formula of these sticks ensures that any leftover food has no additional impact on pond waste, and their lower phosphate levels help to reduce the risk of algae building, thereby improving water quality.

What is the protein content of these sticks?

The Tetra Floating Pond Sticks contain 28% protein.

What is the size of each food stick?

Each stick measures approximately 8-12mm.

Troubleshooting

Fish are not eating the sticks.

Check the water temperature. If it's below 10°C, fish metabolism slows, and they may not eat; switch to Tetra Pond Wheatgerm Sticks. Ensure you are not overfeeding, as uneaten food can deter fish from eating fresh food. Also, verify water quality parameters are within a healthy range.

Sticks are clouding the pond water.

This typically indicates overfeeding. Remove any uneaten sticks after a few minutes. Reduce the amount of food given per feeding session. While the formula minimizes impact, excessive uneaten food will still affect water quality.

Still experiencing algae issues despite using low-phosphate food.

While Tetra Pond Sticks help reduce phosphate input, other factors can contribute to algae growth, such as excessive sunlight, overpopulation of fish, or accumulation of organic waste. Review your pond's filtration system, partial water changes, and overall pond maintenance routine to address other potential causes.
