Can I Give My Koi A Fruit Snack?

Can I Feed Fruit ToMy Koi?|Rochester|New York|NY

It can be fun, although not necessary to give your pond fish a summer snack from time to time (not more than once a week). Koi in particular will enjoy watermelon, grapefruit, orange slices, and even Honey Nut Cheerios.

Be sure the fish are active before feeding and only toss in a VERY small amount of any snack (the amount the fish can eat right away) since old food is not good for your pond. In particular, peas will sink to the bottom of the pond.

Summer Pond Maintenance|Rochester|New York|NY

As we approach summer in Rochester (NY), there are three things to remember about your water feature to keep a balanced ecosystem pond along with happy fish.

Be sure to remove dying leaves and flowers before they have a chance to decay in warmer water.
Aquatic plants such as water lilies help provide fish with shade from the heat of summer sun, cooling the water and making algae control easier too.
if you feed your fish, feed them in the morning and be careful not to overfeed. Uneaten food decays faster in warmer water and can pollute the pond.
