Hand Feed Your Koi Fish

Now that the weather is warming up and your fish are being a lot more active, why not learn to hand feed your koi fish?  Training your koi fish to hand feed is easy with a little patience.  It just takes time. 

The key to gettting your fish to trust you is to start slow.  It is all a process of working your way in. 

First, you feed the fish and stand in the area nearby.  Don't be loud or make sudden movements.  Just be still, but be in their line of sight.  You will need to do this until they are not hesitant with you around.

Your Koi Fish are Waking Up!

You may have noticed that your koi fish are becoming much more active as the weather warms up.  This is normal.  When they become noticeably more active, you will have to feed them a bit more as they burn more energy.  Remember, they are not built like us and can not store food for energy.  They need to be fed accordingly. 

Not only is this a time of more food, but it is a time that you will enjoy as your fish become more active, come toward the top of the pond more and are just more fun to watch!
