The winter approaches in huge paces. In the end of October and in November garden pond and its inhabitants have to be prepared for the period of unfavourable conditions. Apart from routine procedures focusing on cleaning the bottom, refreshing the water and reducing the amount of plants one should also take care of the fish swimming in the pond.  In the wintertime when the surface of the water freezes and its temperature does not surpass 4°C by the bottom the feeding activity of the fish is limited nearly to none – it is the time that they use the stock of fat gathered earlier in their bodies. That is the reason why proper feeding the fish in the autumn is the key for their safe and problem free wintering. To solve this problem AQUAEL proposes completely new food ACTI POND BIG FISH. That a bit humorous name is a very accurate one as it reflects in 100% the principles that were assumed by the creators of the food. It is created basing on recipes traditionally used in feeding fish kept in fish farms and modified to suit the needs of ornamental fish. It contains as much as 25% of easily assimilable proteins and 48% of carbohydrates. It delivers huge amounts of energy to the fish that allow them to safely gain weight and secure indispensable "provisions” for the winter. ACTI POND BIG FISH has the form of mid-sized, easy to swallow granules that float on the water surface for a long time. It ensures eating them up completely and limits any losses of the food. ACTI POND BIG FISH is destined for all species of carp fish, especially for Carps, Koi Carps, Crucians, Tenches, Orfes. Thanks to the addition of carefully chosen taste attractants it is enthusiastically accepted even by the pickiest specimens. Outside of the late summer and autumn period it can also be used in the remaining part of season, especially if you have young, quickly growing fish that require big amounts of proteins and carbohydrates. High content of vitamins A, D3, E in the food ensures excellent condition of the fish and protects them from diseases. Relatively small content of phosphorus allows to maintain water clarity and prevents the growth of unwanted algae (water "greening”). In the spring and early summer in order to obtain the best effects it is recommended to use ACTI POND BIG FISH alternately with other ACTI foods such as POND BASIC, POND COLOR (especially in case of keeping fish of red, orange and golden colours), POND MIX as well as POND SPIRULINA in case of bigger fish.

ACTI POND BIG FISH food is already available in good zoological stores and wholesalers as well as in gardening centres, packed in convenient baskets of 6 and 11 l capacity (respectively 2,9 and 5,4 kg) at an attractive price that is affordable for every pond owner. An introduction of foil packaging, aimed at among others, owners of bigger quantities of fish, is already planned. (pz)
