my pond is 52-54oF and I have a heater and it is covered so temps move
slowly up and
down. without heat and cover my koi would go 6 months with no food. so
with the
heat and cover I feed them a reduced amount and every 3-4 days, regular
high quality
food. they are eager to eat. I have a seachem ammonia alert in the water
to make
sure nothing is building up. my UV is shut off and the water gets a
little greenish.
I will continue to feed em as long as they want to eat. this is the 3rd
year I have
done this with all of them doing great. they even survived a dead dove in
the tank 2
years now. damn doves squeeze thru the smallest spaces!! as long as temps
are well
regulated I think feeding is a good idea.
bread has no nutritional value. chopped human quality shrimp would be
better. pure
great food. Ingrid

Even whole wheat bread has no nutritional value?

Not that I mind feeding them a bit of shrimp...
