Microbe-Lift® Legacy™ is not just a fish food...it's a complete nutritional feeding system!
Microbial balance in the fishes’ intestinal tract may be upset by a stressor, such as shipping, diet change, water quality/temperature change, environmental change, addition of new aquatic life, etc. If the intestinal population of beneficial bacteria decrease and the potentially harmful bacteria increase, it is possible to compromise fish health and performance. Additionally, koi and goldfish have no stomachs so it is important that enzyme producers survive and germinate in the intestine.
Microbe-Lift® Legacy™ contains bacteria that produce enzymes which help break down proteins, lipids and carbohydrates into smaller, more easily digested nutrients. The nutrients are used for growth, health and vitality. This is especially important in fish that have no stomach and use their intestinal tract for digestion.
Microbe-Lift® Legacy™ foods are made by the extrusion process - not pelleting. During extrusion the cell walls of all organic substances contained in the food are disintegrated under pressure. The nutrients hidden in these cells are thus easily accessible for digesting agents, resulting in much higher digestibility in comparison with pelleted or flaked food. Additionally the Legacy™ foods have an extremely low phosphorous content. This keeps fish waste to a minimum and helps to ensure superior water quality.
