Feeding

Regularly monitor your pond’s water temperature and adjust feeding frequency and portions accordingly. Avoid overfeeding, and always remove any uneaten food after feeding to keep your pond healthy.

  • 20-30°C: Feed 2-4 times daily, providing no more food than your fish will finish within 2 minutes.
  • 15-20°C: Feed up to twice daily, with the same 2-minute consumption guideline. For best results, feed during the warmer part of the day.
  • 11-15°C: Switch to a more easily digestible cold-water food, as your koi’s metabolism starts to slow.
  • Below 11°C: Feeding should be minimal to none, koi become largely inactive and struggle to digest food properly at these temperatures.
