How should I feed my pond fish in winter?

How should I feed my pond fish in winter?

In winter, fish metabolism slows down, so they need less food. You can feed them a high-quality, low-protein food.

How often should I feed them?

Feed them once every 1-2 weeks, but only if the water temperature is above 50°F (10°C). If it's colder, skip feeding.

What if the pond freezes over?

If the pond freezes, do not feed them. They will go into a dormant state and won't need food until it warms up.

Can I use regular fish food?

It's best to use food specifically designed for winter feeding, as it has the right nutrients for their lower activity levels.

Are there any signs that my fish are hungry?

If they come to the surface when you approach, it may indicate they're hungry, but be cautious not to overfeed.
