When fish are stressed, sick, new to a pond, coming out of hibernation, Aquascape Inc recommends using Pond Fish Vitamin Treat every day for two weeks. Ideally, Pond Fish Vitamin Treat should be used with Aquascape Fish Food, which contains enzymes to help the fish quickly and efficiently utilize vitamins.
How Much: One pump will supply several small fish or one large fish with a sufficient dose of vitamins.
How Often: Two times weekly as a supplement, and every day for two weeks as a stress preventative.
How To: Slowly depress the pump on the pump top bottle to make a worm-like food treat; the fish will quickly consume the worm providing a vitamin-infused supplement and treat.
Why: Scientifically formulated to keep pond fish healthy, happy, and looking their very best.
Please Note: Fish may not immediately recognize this as a food source, but after two or three applications, fish will learn to devour it.

Vitamins for your fish
Used mainly to improve vitality, vitamins are especially a boon for koi, which is why so many vitamin supplements are marketed toward koi keepers. Vitamins can improve the health of other cold water fish as well and, in fact, positively affect the same conditions that they do in koi. Vitamins are essential for normal growth and metabolism. Requirements increase during spawning. Their functions and consequences of vitamin deficiencies are as follows:
Vitamin A: Important for skin and vision, a deficiency of Vitamin A may cause poor growth and/or blindness.
Vitamin E: Found in wheat germ, Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which improves functions of all body mechanisms. A deficiency of Vitamin E can cause disorders of the bone and fatty degeneration of the liver.
Vitamin K: Aids in blood clotting; a deficiency may cause an excessively long blood clotting time, which can interfere with healing. Too little Vitamin K can also lead to anemia.
Vitamin B-complex:
- Thiamin (B1): Aids in nerve function, digestion, and reproduction. A lack of thiamin may cause skittishness, poor coloration, and paralysis of the fins.
- Riboflavin (B2): Aids in absorption of oxygen in tissues with a poor blood supply. Deficiencies can cause cataracts, sensitivity to light, and bleeding from the nostrils and gills.
- Niacin (Nicotinic Acid): Aids greatly in growth. A lack of this vitamin causes stunting.
- Choline, Pantothenic Acid (B6), and Pyroxidine: All three of these vitamins are essential for the proper metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Too little of these vitamins cause problems ranging from lack of appetite to reduced growth to internal hemorrhaging.
- Folic Acid and Cyanobalamin (B12): Both of these vitamins are important for blood cell formation; deficiencies can cause anemia and lack of appetite.
Vitamin C: Another valuable antioxidant, Vitamin C is essential for the development of cartilage and collagen. A deformed spine and gills as well as internal hemorrhaging are consequences of insufficient Vitamin C. |
