TetraPond Koi Vibrance Floating Pond Sticks

TetraPond Koi Vibrance Floating Pond Sticks

Averages $6/lb

Assessment:

One aquacultural protein in the top four ingredients, and only one split ingredient (wheat into THREE). This diet would probably NOT have fish meal in the top four IF they had not split Wheat into three compounds. Taken as a whole, wheat is almost assuredly the preponderant ingredient. Spirulina is “algae” but if it was spirulina they’d say so. No color enhancer. No probiotics. Unable to tell if cooked.

Ingredients:
Wheat Starch, Corn Flour, Fish Meal, Feeding Oat Meal, Dehulled Soybean Meal, Wheat Gluten, Wheat Germ Meal, Soybean Oil, Algae Meal, Monobasic Calcium Phosphate, Ascorbic Acid (Source of Vitamin C) Inositol, Niacin, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (Stabilized Vitamin C), d-Calcium Pantothenate, a-Tocopherol-Acetate, Riboflavin-5-phosphate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin A Palmitate, Cyanocobalamin, Cholecalciferol, Manganese Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Cobalt Nitrate.
