  • @Nsx25 yes that should be O K , but just try 1 month no food and let it drop to 40, then you will see a big difference when they start feeding again, and the water is warmer

  • @howarth004 Yea I am thinking about turning it down to 50d all winter long.. Feeding once a day should be fine.

  • @Nsx25 You would have been better leaving it at 49d. it won`t do any good warming up so quickly they need a long time to adjust, there digestive system does not work properly and needs time.

  • @howarth004 Its crazy today the fish barely moved at 49 degrees, after warming it up to 60 degrees and 5 hrs later i fed them and the koi went crazy for food.

  • @Nsx25 That will be the best option , but price of electric these days ...for the cover i bought some polcarbon sheets and made a frame for each sheet 5 in all , so then it is easy to inspect and if warmer can take a couplke of sheets off.

  • @howarth004 Yes I do not want a big bill coming my way... Maybe 50d is an okay temperature and just feed them one time per day. I will need to go do some calculations before beginning. thanks!

  • @Nsx25 Yes it does both keeps the water heated longer, and stops the cold winds cooling quickly, if you keep the pond at 60d , you can feed all winter , but you electric bill will be high, 3 month`s without food is no problem and it makes them even better for the next season. I would bring it down to 40d, and leave them at that without food for the winter months

  • @howarth004 Does the polycarbon traps in heat or blocks off the coldness? I'm just worried about not feeding Koi for 3-4 months. Do you think it will be fine if I use my heater and keep the temperature at 60 degrees?

  • @Nsx25 Yes I do heat it , but not a lot now , I tend to put the covers on end of November (a polycarbon cover I made) then I set the heater at 40d. which will put them in to a dorment mood, so no feeding ,then in the Spring about mid March I will bring it back up to 50 , then hopefully the weather will then increase in temp. I start feeding again above 50d. high proteen food

  • Hi, do you heat your pond during the winter and at what temperature do you keep it at? or is there a correct temperature?
