Water Temperature

Have you checked the temperature of your pond water lately?

The temperature of your pond water is crucial in determining what type of fish food to give to your koi and goldfish.
The needs of your koi and goldfish change with lower temperatures.

A Pond Thermometer becomes very important when water temperatures begin to decline.
The metabolism of fish is regulated by their environment.
When the water temperature cools down, the digestive system of fish slows down as well.

When water temperatures fall below 54 degrees Fahrenheit your Pond Fish should be fed Fall/Winter formulated food instead of high protein filled food that is used in the Summer months.
When the water temperature slips below 48 degrees your Pond Fish should no longer be fed at all.

A Pond Thermometer will help out season after season and let you know just what Fish Food your Koi and Goldfish need to be eating.
