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!

Koi fish eat less in the winter as they don't burn up as many calories and like to eat a lot of small meals (up to 8!) in the summer when they are active.

Feeding Koi Fish in Winter can actually go down to as low as one time per day.

If you are going to feed your koi fish pellets, some recommend that you mix 2 or 3 brands to ensure your koi fish get their needed nutrients.
