Hi,
I know not to feed fish until water temps are 50 degrees. But for how
long? I mean the other day the water temp was 45. Today it's 55. I
suspect it will be 40 within a few days. I have old house screens
covering the pond because of my neighbor's blankety-blank mimosa tree,
so i really don't see the fish. What do you do in a climate like this?
Look for signs of moving fish on a warm day and feed them? Wait until
it's been warm for a week? Please advise.
As always. thank you,

I would wait until you are pretty darn
sure that the water is going to *stay*
at 55 and higher.

Today it is 65 in SE WA, absolutely
loverly out.
Next week we could be down to 15 degrees...
(I sure hope not!)

Hi juls, Wait until the water temp stays at
55 degrees. We don't want to rush things :-)
K30 and JJ are in Zone 7. They will be good
people to watch for taking Spring action.

JJ from Zone 7a, and I don't expect to start feeding till about April, so
I'd say more than a month. ) You want your bio-filter up and running for
a bit before you start feeding. The fish will do nicely on any algae. ~ jan

I dont have a filter or a pump, just a small pond with two little
fishies and not enough plants.....
