#### Quality Nutrition for Every Pond Fish
A healthy pond starts with quality nutrition. As the makers of the world’s most popular Fish food, TetraPond offers a variety of pond nutrition to meet any need. You can feel good knowing your Koi, Goldfish, and other pond fish are receiving a diet full of beneficial protein, vitamins, and fiber.
Using quality fish food helps keep your pond clearer and cleaner. Foods like TetraPond Pond Sticks and Flakes are highly digestible—meaning nutrients are fully digested and not passed out into the pond to pollute and promote algae growth. It is important to only feed your fish enough food that they will consume within five minutes to avoid clouding water.
#### The Soft Sticks Advantage
Tetra offers a variety of soft stick diets to provide the best possible nutrition all year round. TetraPond sticks are designed to soften quickly for toothless pond fish and are highly digestible to promote clear water and minimize waste. Take a look below to see which TetraPond Stick diet might be best for your fish.
#### Keeping Fish in Peak Condition
TetraPond Diets include the proper balance of nutrients to keep you fish in peak condition:
**Vitamins:** For growth, health, and metabolism. Contains stabilized Vitamin C.
**Protein:** Contains amino acids for growth and maintenance.
**Fats:** A concentrated energy source.
**Fiber:** For healthy and efficient digestion.
#### Guide to Proper Fish Feeding
Feed at least two to three times daily only as much food as your fish will consume within five minutes. When water temperature is below 50 degrees pond fish should only be fed TetraPond Spring and Fall diet. Fish should not be fed when the temperature is below 39 degrees.
