Default Dead Koi question

I live in PA. and have had one case of Bloat over 12yrs ago. Its a hard
disease to get rid of--some times its more humane to kill the fish. I was
told back then to always soak my fish food for 5 minutes before feeding--do
you do that? The floating pellets are very dry and do not digest very well
unless they are already soaked through. With bloat the fish can not go down
under the water without alot of exertion and cannot get enough air to
survive.

I always wondered about that. I have never soaked my pellets before, but I
guess it can't hurt. I have mosquito fish that seem to vacuum them up,
wonder what their stomachs feel like a few minutes later?


Thanks
