NATURAL KOI POND - FEEDING THE FISH

Koi and other carp species in my pond feeding on Nishikoi growth pellets. The pond is spring fed and clay lined. Koi and other carp species like to dig, and so the pond is clear only in the winter when they aren't so active.

what heppens to the fish and the koi pond when snowing do the fish die

[pondguru]

The pond is 15 feet deep so it doesn't freeze. They survive the winer no worries.

If you really are in Turkey as your profile says then I have no idea as thats thousands of miles away at the opposite end of Europe to where I live. If you were in England I would suggest Humberside fisheries but the wouldn't export due to CEFAS red tape.

@pondguru hey do you know any places to buy carp? i just dug a clay lined pond and would like to stock it with carp in the spring

The pond gets fished once a year to check on the condition of the fish (usually late spring). I always make sure I feed the koi etc heavily on floating food at one end then fish the other end to catch the coarse fish and avoid the koi. Usually I am amazed at the good health and quality of the fish we catch.

@pondguru I know they are your pets but have you ever fished for them?

It is gong to get better soon as I've got a log cabin to go looking over the pond on a 7' high platform. I just need this snow to bugger off then I can put it together and make a video of it. Thanks for watching.
