Growth-focused pond feeding usually comes down to protein content, and a premium pellet pitched at "higher protein levels for increased growth rates" is aimed squarely at keepers who want their fish putting on size over a season rather than just ticking over.

Pettex's Premium Pond Pellets are 4mm, with 30% protein, 5% fat content and 7% inorganic matter. Pettex say stabilised vitamin C is included for disease resistance, and spirulina for colour enhancement — the same colour-boosting ingredient used across their pond range.

• 10kg bag, 4mm pellets
• Protein 30%, fat content 5%, inorganic matter 7%
• Stabilised vitamin C included, for disease resistance
• Spirulina included, for colour enhancement
• Suitable for goldfish through to koi

What the label does not say. Pettex give no feeding rate or fish-size guidance with this product, so how much to feed is a judgement call based on your own stock rather than a stated daily amount. As with any pond feed, offering only what's eaten within a few minutes is the safer default than feeding to a fixed schedule.

Who it's for: pond keepers, especially those raising koi, wanting a higher-protein pellet aimed at growth rather than a standard maintenance feed.
