If you’re planning on adding new fishy friends to your aquarium soon, here’s some tips for a stress-free introduction.

🐠 Turn off the aquarium lights

🐠 Float the bag in the aquarium for approximately 20 minutes to equalise water temperatures.

🐠 Now open the bag and gently pour in about 30% aquarium water.

🐠 Wait 10 minutes then repeat this process twice more at the same intervals.

🐠 Carefully net the fish out of the bag and place them in the aquarium.

🐠 Dispose of the water in the bag. Do not pour this water into the aquarium.

🐠 If the new fish are the only ones in the aquarium, wait 24 hours before initial feeding.

🐠 Spend time observing your fish on a daily basis

Why vacuum your pond? 🐟💦

Pond vacuums remove leaves, sludge, fish waste, and blanket w**d, keeping water clear and pumps & filters working properly. Regular cleaning reduces harmful bacteria and protects your koi & goldfish.

What is Wheatgerm food?

Wheatgerm is essentially the embryo of the plant, the reproductive part that germinates and grows new vegetation.

As a food source, it’s naturally high in complex fats, vitamins, and minerals, while it also contains slow-releasing carbohydrates. In comparison to simple sugars featuring in most germ-based foods, Wheatgerm is better at helping fish maintain their fat stores. This is essential during the cold, winter months.

Why use Wheatgerm?

As the seasons move on and temperatures get colder, your Koi and other fish will become more dormant. Fish begin to enter a state of semi-hibernation during winter and their metabolisms slow.

The semi-hibernation survival technique allows Koi and other fish to survive colder temperatures. Their reduced movement means they use less energy. Fish also eat less and produce a lower amount of waste than usual; however, they do still need to eat.

This is where Wheatgerm comes in. As temperatures begin to drop to around 8-12℃, fish keepers switch from their summer feed to a winter feed, to aid in maintaining the health of their pond’s fish population.

The Benefits:

As a result of the fish’s lethargic state and loss of appetite, digestion of their food can become problematic and lead to health issues, such as constipation. This is due to the fish having less energy than normal to perform the regular digestion process.

Wheatgerm counteracts this thanks to being low in hard-to-digest proteins, making the consumption of this winter feed easier on the digestion and waste systems of your Koi and other fish.

This is not to say proteins aren’t an essential part of your fish’s winter diet. Proteins along with fats and amino acids are vital when it comes to maintaining the weight and strength of your Koi and other fish.

This is why Nishikoi Wheatgerm food is perfect in helping you avoid “bogging your fish down” with carbohydrates and plant-based proteins as it contains 19.7% protein.

Its our final day of trading today!

As I type this before opening the doors to the public for the last time, I think about the 23 years I have worked for World of Water. Highs and Lows, we have been through a global pandemic, had a fire, worked on water features at Blenheim Palace, imported some amazing fish, bred some fish (even a UK first) in the time I have been with the company.

Here are a few fun photos from my years at Bicester.

Thank you to all of our customers over the Years!

Remember to support real shops!
