Hi Nick,

That converts to 50 degrees F on our
side of the pond so I'd say no. Wait until your temps stay above 13 degrees C
for the season. Reason being that fish can not produce their own heat like we
do (with our meals) and rely on their surrounding temperatures to raise their
body temperature. If they were to eat now their bodies aren't warm enough to
work so the food would just sit their in their tummies and that's not good.
They will nosh on any algae they find and that's okay.
