Fall Food Change
"Reel McKoi" wrote "Phyllis and Jim" wrote Does anyone know what the wild carp eat in the winter? ============================== Beyond a certain temperature I don't believe wild carp eat. They're metabolism is so slow they lose interest in food. But feeding them in winter if they're hungry doesn't kill them I found. Not one died from rotten food in their gut. I believe that's an old wives tale. Mine will be fed as long as they show interest in food. You are correct. Mine eat little or nothing in the colder periods. But continuing to put the same amount of food in the pond can cause all kinds of water quality problems, so it's better to just stop feeding them if they aren't eating it. For more information than you ever wanted to know about what carp/koi actually eat, see: http://www.pond-doctor.co.uk/longcarpdiet.htm Michael New Orleans, Louisiana USA ================================================== ============== |
