The 10 kg bag is intended for heavily stocked ponds; for just a few fish, the 500 g or 5 kg formats prevent keeping a bag open for too long.

2. Below 18 °C, mix Wheat-Germ with the usual food for a few days, then switch entirely to Wheat-Germ.
3. Reduce the quantities as the water cools down and the fish become less active.
4. Below 5 °C, the end of the indicated usage range: stop feeding.
5. In spring, resume in small quantities with Wheat-Germ, then gradually return to a seasonal food such as Hikari Friend Medium.
