Losing pond fish food
"john ryan" wrote
Since the price of pond food has shot up, we got to wondering what else would be good to feed the goldfish in the pond with. It turns out that they really like cooked rice. We are now wondering if there is anyway to keep the rice and other food floating for them, rather than have it sink and get lost in the soft mud? Get yourself a packet/tub of Tetra pond fish food and look at the ingredients. That alone will tell you that what you suggest is not sufficient for your fishes long term health. Wholewheat bread is just about OK in the height of summer when the water is warm, this time of year easily digested food is essential. Anyway, you will soon be stopping feeding for this year when the water temperature falls below 50°F. Better to check water butts for mossy larvae and feed them to your fish. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.
