Wheatgerm food is made for low temperatures down to 6 you have to feed Wheatgerm food cos they cannot digest summer food in cold water and can damage there swim bladder Wheatgerm food is like fibre to us it makes you digestive system work faster 👍
Hello @junction-27, how are you? I'm a fan of your TH-cam channel and I'm curious about why you stopped updating it. I've noticed that there haven't been any new videos on your channel for a while and I would like to know if you are still working on creating content for the platform. I know that creating content for the internet can be challenging and requires a lot of work, but your community of followers would certainly love to see some updates on your channel. I hope everything is going well with you and that you can share your reasons for not posting new videos. If possible, I would be grateful to know if there are any plans for new content in the future. Thank you for the time you've dedicated to creating content for TH-cam and for the inspiration you bring to your community of followers. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Best regards, Fernando from Brazil
Absolutely love your main pond buddy, and the fish are fantastic. Do they ever damage themselves on the sides? I haven't fed since pretty much the pond has been finished, which was towards the end of autumn. Then the winter hit so definitely didn't feed then due to low temps and a mixture of hardly any bacteria too. But now I've just this week fitted a heater and I am slowly bringing the water temperature up to get it to around 15c. Would you still feed a wheat germ in this instance and at what temperature would you be happy to start feeding high protein? Im a little reluctant to start feeding high protein due to the low bacteria levels currently. Thanks
Had my showa damaged its eye trying to spawn in reeds last year but its all healing nicely I would still feed wheatgerm for a few weeks after 12 degrees and slowly up the feed over a few weeks to let bacteria grow nitrifying bacteria stays alive down to 5 degrees ponds just don't have alot after winter cos there is not alot of ammonia for it to feed on so it starves and shrinks
Yes mate pump fed on main pond with a nexus 220 plus there is a video on think it's inside outside koi growing herons come all the time I watch them on cameras but fish are to big for them the big yellow 1 is 75cm
Thanks the skimmer is a 50 good skimmer but you have to wait cable down or it just gets notted up under water loads of pull on surface though cable problem only problem I have had and its been in 3 years 👍

Nice koi 👍
Thank you
Great, informative video Mick. Exactly what you explained happened to me regarding the flashing after feeding.
Beautiful Fish !
Great advice as usual 👍
I'm in California and it never seems to get super cold. I wonder if feeding them regularly throughout the winter helps speed up growth?
They don't really grow in cold water I feed mine just to get them off bottom
Even the fry stop growing in cold water
i been feeding my fish all winter a little each day i have 20 percent protein food temp is 9 dg today not heated
