How Much & How Often I Should Feed My Koi Pond Fish|Rochester|New York|NY|Acorn Ponds & Waterfalls How Much Should I Feed My Koi Pond Fish In Rochester New York (NY) ?Feed your fish one to three times a day during the feeding months, when water temperatures are 55 Degrees F and above. When the temperature drops to 55 Degrees F, switch to a low protein food just a few times a week and then stop feeding altogether when water temperature hits 50 Degrees F. If they get hungry later, there will be plenty of natural things like algae in the pond to nibble on that are easier to digest. Spring Is Here, When Can I Start Feeding My Pond Fish Again?Once spring is officially here and your water temperature is 50 degrees F, start feeding your fish small amounts of cold water low protein fish food again just a few times a week but wait until you are sure winter is over. Rule Of Thumb For How Much To Feed Your FishRule of thumb is feed only enough food that your fish will consume in 3-5 minutes during warm temperatures. A thermometer can be purchased and suspended in your pond so you know what the temperature is. Why Do I Need To Be So Careful About Feeding My FishFish start slowing down in preparation for a period of semi-dormancy as the water temperature cools down in the fall. Their digestive and immune systems slow down, and they are not capable of digesting the same types of foods that they can during the warmer months. Koi are particularly susceptible to problems at this time, as they have no stomach to aid in digestion; food will pass directly into their small intestines, where it will sit and rot. Watch your fish closely during temperature changes and it is better to under feed them a little than over feed them. Remember there are plenty of natural foods already in your pond for your fish to eat.
