Many pond owners do not feed their fish properly. There are certain rules that you should follow.
Many gardeners fulfill their dream of having their own pond in their garden. And if there is a pond, then of course fish must also be there. The Koi is particularly popular. But that's where the problems begin. Because many do not know how to best care for fish. The mistake that is made is to give the fish too much food. This is not necessary and certainly not he althy. However, when you should feed and how much depends on various factors.
Feeding correctly
First there is the planting in the pond. If the pond is quite large and has many plants, then fish often find enough food here. You should also pay attention to the size of the population. The higher, the more often you should feed. Another aspect is the water temperature. The following applies: the warmer the water, the more hungry the fish are. When autumn comes and the water temperature drops below 10 degrees, you no longer have to feed the fish. Otherwise, only put as much food into the water as the fish can eat immediately. Food that sinks to the bottom of the pond will unnecessarily pollute the water.
