Its smaller, floating soft sticks ensure easy feeding and digestion, while its highly digestible formula minimizes waste, maintaining clearer pond water. Ideal for daily feeding when water temperatures exceed 50°F, this premium fish food supports all life stages and breeds, making it a must-have for pond enthusiasts aiming for vibrant, healthy fish. ## Description A high-protein diet containing essential amino acids that help younger fish grow Ideal for late spring and early summer feeding when water temperatures are 50-Degree F and above Review: Excellent warm-season growth food that doesn't cloud the pond water. - As the weather warms up and the pond water temperature stays consistently above 50 degrees, I switch my koi over to a high-protein diet to help them bulk up for the summer. I’ve been using these TetraPond Growth sticks for the past few weeks to see how the fish respond compared to their standard maintenance diet. Performance & Everyday Use: Fish Appeal: The koi go absolutely crazy for this stuff. The "soft stick" texture seems much easier for them to digest than the hard pellets I've used in the past. They soften up almost immediately upon hitting the water, making them great for both the larger koi and the smaller pond fish. Water Clarity: This is the most important factor for me. Cheaper fish foods tend to dissolve too quickly or create an oily film on the surface, which ruins the water quality and clogs up the skimmer. This food floats nicely, and whatever the fish don't eat right away stays intact long enough to be scooped out. I haven't noticed any algae blooms or murkiness since switching to this. The Value: The 4.85-pound bag is massive and a much better deal than buying the smaller jugs at the local pet store. It comes in a thick, resealable bag that keeps the moisture and bugs out. The Only Downside: Because they are "soft" sticks, they can get a little crushed during shipping. When you get to the very bottom of the bag, expect to find a handful or two of fish food dust rather than intact sticks. I usually just toss that dust into the garden as fertilizer rather than putting it in the pond. Verdict: If your pond is fully thawed out for the season and you want a clean, high-protein food to help your koi grow without ruining your water clarity, this bulk bag is a fantastic, cost-effective choice. Review: Our comets and shubunkins have really gotten larger with this food! - I've been buying this food for my comets and shubunkins for a couple years now, and love it for them. It's high protien, meaning their bodies utilize it better and well, less fish poo, which is always a bonus! After feeding them a couple other foods over the years, I can say this one really puts the weight and size on our fish, moreso than the other brands. As for color, I've not noted any difference. The fish love it - it's the type that floats so the fish come to the surface. Always be sure to not overfeed - enough so that it's all gone within a few minutes. Oh, one last note: if you have cats, keep this in an airtight container, LOL! Our cats think this stuff is tasty! They'll rip open a bag and just go to town on it! ## Features - HIGH-PROTEIN GROWTH DIET: Contains essential amino acids to help younger koi and ornamental goldfish grow - SCIENTIFICALLY FORMULATED: Higher-protein formulation supports fish’s immune system - SMALLER SOFT STICKS: Floating sticks are easy for fish to eat and digest - CLEAR WATER: Feeding a high-quality highly digestible food creates less waste for clearer water - USAGE: Feed daily when water temperatures are above 50 degrees ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Asin | B00025K0ZS | | Brand Name | Tetra | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,177) 4.7 out of 5 stars | | Dog Breed Size | Large | | Flavor | Fish | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046798164890 | | Item Form | Pellet | | Item Weight | 2.2 kg | | Manufacturer | TetraPond | | Manufacturer Part Number | AQ-16489-10 | | Model Number | 16489 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Specific Uses For Product | Immune Support | | Target Species | Fish | | Unit Count | 2198.8 Grams | | Upc | 046798164890 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tetra - **Flavour:** Fish - **Age range (description):** All Life Stages - **Item form:** Pellet - **Specific uses for product:** Immune Support ## Images ![TetraPond Koi Growth Food, 4.85 lb. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XYDMXTvLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you mix this with vibrance?** A: Yes, you can, but you may want to use something like http://a.co/00Wlfpr instead, if you are trying to wean them off of the growth. This diet provides Vibrance, Spring and Fall, and our staple diet, Tetra Pond Foodsticks. **Q: Food pallets floats on water,and fish do not seem to be eating it, how to make them sink?** A: I haven't given my fish the Koi Growth yet. I was told food pallets should float on top of the water and if fish didn't eat within 10 - 15 min I should take out what wasn't eaten. I found that time given varies from 5 min up - so I just just my own judgement. **Q: Can small baby koi about 1 inch able to eat these ?** A: They would need to soak a bit to become soft enough for them to nibble off of them. We recommend https://www.amazon.com/TetraPond-16210-Flaked-Fish-6-35-Ounce/dp/B00026Z4TO/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2VRE8K1YFDV5N&keywords=tetra+pond+flakes&qid=1558468912&s=pet-supplies&sprefix=tetra+pond+%2Cpets%2C130&sr=1-1 until they are 2-3 inches in length. **Q: Does this float?** A: Thank you for your interest in this product, Jam435! Yes, it does float for a few minutes, actually. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent warm-season growth food that doesn't cloud the pond water. *by T***R on 4 April 2026* As the weather warms up and the pond water temperature stays consistently above 50 degrees, I switch my koi over to a high-protein diet to help them bulk up for the summer.
