Complete food in sticks for ornamental pond fish, useful for supporting body development, immune response, and intensifying livery colors.
Characteristics
Pondsticks Color Prodac is a complete food in sticks for medium and large-sized fish that live in ornamental ponds: goldfish, koi carp.
• Vitamin A. Also called Retinol, it is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it can be stored in the fatty tissues and liver of animals and released into the body when needed.
Vitamin A in fish promotes proper epithelial tissue renewal and proper visual function, as well as regulating body development and performing antioxidant activity. Signs of deficiency include exophthalmia (swollen, protruding eyes), depigmentation, corneal opacity, anorexia and edema, and impaired growth.
• Vitamin C. L-Ascorbic Acid is a water-soluble vitamin, essential for fish (it cannot be synthesized in the body) and not stored in body tissues: fish therefore require a constant supply of Vitamin C using Prodac feed. It is one of the most important vitamins: in fish, it has antioxidant and immunostimulant functions, but also promotes proper muscle development, wound healing, and bone growth.
• Vitamin D3. Cholecalciferol, the correct name for Vitamin D3, is a fat-soluble prohormone that modulates the absorption of Calcium and Phosphate in the intestine in animals and regulates their functions in the body. It also regulates the synthesis of parathyroid hormones. It is an essential vitamin, consumed by fish with Prodac feed and accumulated in the liver and fatty tissues. Vitamin D3 deficiency causes rickets, reduced muscle development, and bone deformations.
• Vitamin E. Alpha-tocopherol is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that is accumulated by fish mainly in the liver and is consumed exclusively through diet. It is one of the most important vitamins in the body. Powerful antioxidants that in fish also regulate the functionality and stability of cell membranes and the production of sex hormones responsible for reproduction. It is also involved in the immune response as a very important regulator. Vitamin E and Vitamin A are particularly related, as the former prevents the oxidation of the latter. Signs of vitamin E deficiency include anemia, liver degeneration, ascites, damage to the heart muscle and red blood cells, slowed growth, and reduced reproductive activity.
Fatty Acids in the Aquarium Fish Diet
Omega-3 fatty acids. Also called PUFA – 3, these are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential for fish and can be obtained through Prodac fish food. Linolenic acid is particularly important for freshwater fish, while eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are particularly important for marine fish. Carnivorous fish have higher requirements than herbivorous fish due to metabolic differences. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for the stability of cell membranes, making them more fluid even at low body temperatures (fish are cold-blooded animals). They also have an anti-inflammatory effect and are used to a minimal extent to produce metabolic energy. They also promote the proper development of eggs, embryos, and fry. Signs of deficiency include abnormal coloration, fin erosion, liver damage, and abnormal body development.
Omega-6 fatty acids. These are plant-based polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential for fish (they can only be obtained through diet). The most important for fish are arachidonic acid and linoleic acid. Omega-6 fatty acids are involved in numerous metabolic pathways: activation of the inflammatory response, maintenance of the body's lipid films, cell signaling, and enzyme activation. They promote a correct immune response in the event of infection. Signs of deficiency include abnormal body development, vulnerability to infections, and skin changes.
Spirulina. This term refers to the dry extract of the freshwater cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis, highly digestible (up to 80%) and particularly rich in proteins (60%) and therefore in essential amino acids easily assimilated by fish.
The extract is also rich in vitamins (e.g., vitamins A, B, E) and biologically active compounds such as phycocyanobilin. The lipid component (about 7%) contains many essential fatty acids for fish, such as Omega 6.
Spirulina is also rich in carotenoids, especially yellow-orange carotenoids such as canthaxanthin, which stimulate skin tone. yellow and orange in the fish's plumage.
For the beneficial effect to be effective, it is important that fish consume spirulina derivatives several times a week and in small, consistent quantities.
Canthaxanthin. It is a yellow-orange, thermostable, lipophilic carotenoid pigment that is accumulated in the body's fatty tissues (epidermis, adipose tissue, egg yolk, etc.).
Fish can only obtain canthaxanthin through their diet. In fish, canthaxanthin exerts an antioxidant effect, also contributing to the intensification of their skin's color. yellow and orange pigmentation (accumulation in the yellow cells of the dermis).
