Pond fish have different nutritional requirements than aquarium fish. Laguna recognizes this fact and has dedicated its formulas to being complete and balanced for ornamental pond fishes. There is an ongoing commitment to the ultimate in dietary science for fish. Careful study of existing literature, plus exhaustive feeding and growth trials provides a recipe to produce the very best food available. Besides providing the best nutritional balance to the fish, Laguna Pond Foods also consider what the food does to the rest of the environment.
Most pond foods use high ash content fishmeals and other ingredients that add to the pollution potential of the food. Even after digestion, the food offered still has an impact on the ecosystem. Wastes that are high in mineral content promote algae growth.
Each formula of Laguna Pond Fish Foods is specifically formulated for growth and long-term maintenance, but to pass their standards it must also reduce pollution levels to a minimum. High quality, low ash herring meal is a main component of each diet. Where other foods formulate high ash contents of 5 to 8% more than can be metabolized by fish, Laguna formulas offer the correct mineral levels required by fish for health.
Since the low mineral content is provided by herring meal, which is also a much better source of protein, the need for excessive grains in the food is eliminated. Grains are often used in fish foods to balance the protein content. However, for fish, grain diets provide protein with poor amino acid profiles for fish. Use of a high quality protein source such as Low Ash Herring Meal creates a food with "High Biological Value". High Biological Value (HBV) refers to the close match of the fish's actual nutritional requirements with the actual values supplied by Laguna food. Because of the careful attention to a fish's needs, the formula minimizes amino acid waste. The benefit to the entire ecosystem is more completely digested food with less ammonia production. The final result is less waste production loading the system, and less algae growth.
