What the card does not say

There is no specific feeding frequency or amount given for this flake, and no named fish species it particularly suits beyond "all types" — a claim that is hard to verify against a specific pond stocked with goldfish, koi or orfe in different proportions. If your pond runs a mix of large and small fish, watch how quickly the flake actually gets taken rather than following a generic rule.

Why we chose it

The re-sealable strip is the actual reason to pick this over a bag — pond food that goes soft in a damp shed gets thrown away half-used. A 4-litre tub is also a sensible size to keep on hand without it going stale before you get through it.

Full description

A pond is a bigger, messier version of an aquarium, and food that clouds the water is a food you end up changing the water for more often. Pettex's answer for pond keepers is a flake pitched at 16% protein with a re-sealable strip on the tub, which keeps the flakes crisp rather than damp between feeds.

It is formulated for all types of fish in all types of pond, with crude protein at 16%, crude fat at 3%, crude fibre at 3.2% and ash at 3.5% — a lighter protein figure than most tropical or coldwater diets, which suits pond fish that are grazing over a longer day rather than feeding intensively.

What the card does not say.

Who it's for: pond keepers who want a straightforward flake for a mixed pond and would rather have it stay fresh in a re-sealable tub than tip a bag straight into the shed.
