FEEDING
KOI
Keeping
beautiful, healthy koi is easier when they have a well balanced
diet. Koi are unique, they are the only fish that do not have
a stomach. The food they eat goes directly into their
digestive tract. Therefore, it is important to feed them food
that is easy to digest.
Water temperature has a direct
bearing on fish metabolism. The warmer the water, the faster
the metabolism and need for food.
Poor quality food will
result in poor water quality. If the fish cannot digest
the food it will pass it on as waste resulting in dirtier pond
water.
A high quality food is one that is easily digested and
then turned into growth and energy. This results in less
waste, better water quality and happier fish.
As mentioned
above, temperature is directly related to feeding. Here is a
breakdown based on temperature:
Above 65° -
Koi have a high metabolism in warm
water. High levels of protein are needed for growth and
energy. Feed fish two to three times a day.
45° to
65° - As water temperatures cool down, koi need less
protein and more carbohydrates in their diet. A wheat germ
based food is easier to digest in cooler temperatures and also
contains more fats, which the koi need.
Below 45° -
Once the water temperatures drop into the low 40s and
below, it is not recommended to feed your koi. Their
metabolism drops to a point where they cannot digest feed.
Resume feeding in the Spring when temperatures rebound.
