- Hi, and Welcome Back to the channel.
This week I continue to feed below 10 degrees and try a specific all seasons product designed for Temps down to 8 degrees.
My last addition of water conditioner/clay before the pond is covered is added to get through the filters before the real low temps drop and I can deep clean the filters.
A deal is cut with The Bear that he wont keep chewing his Paws while filming.. But how long will that last..😁😁😁😉

Garlic is widely used in bird keeping to help reduce parasites. I've used it as a food and water additive for years.
Glad to see you are trying 😉 protein % is not fully related to water temperature. It just means it's a good food with fish meal inside and a bit of wheatgerm, which is much better than fully wheatgerm. Transition to a new food is desirable for all animals, propolis and garlic will definitely help, if anything for their skin and luster.
Thanks for that Lau. You are a font of knowledge...cheers 😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle 😁 No not really. It's just that nutrition for animals has always been my thing and I was lucky enough to have some great conversation and learn a lot in a few months from Mike from ProBites.
Garlic is good for dogs too, helps to prevent fleas
The Bear seems to like garlic as well..
Nice one mate 👍 it still looks like summer in your back garden in comparison to up here 🙂 looking ahead at next week temperatures on a night up here it's saying - 5 to come 🥶
Hiya, it's always summer is Stoke..😆 NOT..😆😆😆. I hear the whole country will be heading into low low temps real soon. Already looking forward to spring..😉👍
Watching all your videos..thxs
Glad your enjoying the channel...😉😉👍 New video coming out tonight from 6pm GMT...
Hi mate hope alls good mate i rekon you Should of just got saki balance this aqua source to compare is like a Ford focus were the saki hikari balance is a ferrari hope this helps 👍 🤣 still a good food tho and I appreciate saki hikari can be expensive wen buying 15kg bag but it's well better 😉
Hiya, thanks for that. You hit the nail on the head, the Saki is great, but aqua is also good but alot cheaper..😉👍
👍
👍👍😉
Another quality school day as always Andy. It's an interesting year this one, last year I fed all the way through the winter as they were looking for it. This year they ain't interested at all at these temperatures. Soon be spring 🙏🏼
Just wishing our lives away for spring now...😆😉👍
Nice update Andy It's a good food I have been using it but my fish now are less active so stopped feeding Stay safe and well
Hey Carol, don't think it will being my end looking at the forecast.. stay well mate...😉👍
Hate this time of year, still put my virkon In each week,pus salt 👍
Mine are still feeding well twice a day
Finally finished feeding. Temp in Salford is set for -2 Tuesday night..covers will go on by Sunday. Last filter clear out done..vac done...leaves out...roll on February. Nice watch by the way..what make is it. Will you be posting over the winter..or will you be hibernating
Hiya, sounds like your well-organised.. I'll continue to post videos as things happen... Glad you enjoyed the video..😉👍
I'm feeding the same food for their teatime, when the water has warmed up to 10ish. For breakfast I feed Saki Hikari all season, it can be fed down to 5 degrees. My small koi feed on the far side of the pond so I still give them saki for tea. My fish are still eating like the piglets they are! I also give them a frozen treat that I make up for them, to avoid issues like swim bladder... I call it fish fudge, lol... They fight over the cubes. Greetings from Derby
Hiya, 'fish fudge' eh, I would love to see that recipe to try myself... 🤔😉👍..
@@KoiPondLifestyle I cook and Mash a sweet potato (no skin), add dried bloodworm, dried mealworm, dried shrimp, spirulina powder, garlic and multivitamin drops for babies (I might have missed another dried creature.... I'm not at home and I have the memory capacity of a goldfish on a good day!), mix then blitz into a super scummy paste and pack it into an ice cube tray (I use the ones that make really small cubes). Freeze it overnight and that's it! It looks like little cubes of fudge, hence the name. I only feed it once a week and one or two to each piggy as the protein content is high. Oh, I also add some dried red pepper... Told you, bad memory lol
Excellent thanks for that...😉👍
Get the glass covered could be minus 3 from saturday night we may get some snow next week I always put garlic in my pond over winter together with barley water home made My fish dont like aqua food they spit it out.
Hi Andy I start to mix my summer/autumn food with wheetgerm & garli at start of October going onto just wheetgerm from mid November through to March as & when they want it.I never completely stop feeding. Your Showa really starting to put some size on looking great.
Hiya, I'm in untried territory feeding low temps, so it's great hearing comments coming in on what you are doing. Every day is a school day...😉👍 Yeah Showa is a greedy fish that I'm going will get some god size next year..
@@KoiPondLifestyle
Hi Andy at this time of year now day temps are 10 or below i like to feed them with plain multicheerios once they get taste for them cant get enough try them if you not already 👍
My lot like the honey cheerios...😉👍
Great video Andy that's been my go to food for the last 3-4 years and have had some fantastic results with it the only thing I've noticed from it in the summer when feeding alot it does put a yellowy/brown tinge to the water but other than that I think it's a fantastic food 😊👍
Hi Phil, thanks for that. My supplier also said it was the better foods for lower temps, so felt a can't knock it till you've tried it moment coming on...😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle absolutely mate but I'm not Phil 🤣🤣🤣
Jamie BTW 😉👍
Sorry Jamie, I'd been looking at one of Telford Koi Pond vids as I was replying to your comment..☺☺ My inability to do more than one thing at a time..😆😆😉👍
@@KoiPondLifestyle it's cool I was only joking easily done 😊👍
when i did add it a few years ago in winter did half dose. dont know if that helps lol. didnt add owt this year in terms of clay to my pond
Temp outside now at - 5 below freezing this will be a good test for the covers we have also moved into the possibility of snow dropping over night and will power cuts happen this week. A point for those on a Pension or who get benefits the staff that send the money out by computer will be going on strike. th-cam.com/video/h0L6-iIg73E/w-d-xo.html
I have been using Aqua Source food for the last 18 months I don’t get much waste with it
Hiya, That was another bonus with little waste.. cheers 👍 😉
Plus you don’t get Grease on top of your pond
Hate the oil slicks...🤨
I feed all year round when temp falls below 10 I switch to nt labs medikoi which can be fed down to 5.
I live Newcastle u Tyne
Thanks for that. What's the protein % with that product?
36 or 38% really good results defo worth it's price tag
Don't know if you can help me. 1 of my koi looks in window and goes on its side then it swim around and dose it again. Do u have any glue
Hiya, If your temps are down some fish don't like the sudden change in lower temps and do some weird moves? Also I'd check your water parameters to check your PH and KH are good, then the nitrites and ammonia if your still feeding?
I give them a bit of a of food and I will look at water thanks for help
I think this is wrong if you live in Spain and get pension credit or a disability payment in the UK you also get the winter fuel payment from the government. As pensions are paid into UK banks you are believed to be living in the UK so get all the payments a Pensioner on pension credit or disability in the UK gets. I would of thought some form of check must be or should be made it basically means you can be paid to live in spain.
Winter Fuel Payment You’ll get a payment of:
£500 if you were born between 26 September 1942 and 25 September 1956
You’ll be paid into the bank account your Pension is usually paid into.
You can automatically qualify for a Winter Fuel Payment for winter 2022/2023 if the following apply:
you lived in the UK for at least one day during the week of 19 to 25 September 2022
- this is called the ‘qualifying week’
There ya go Alan. You've just solved you own issue with your pond temps in Winter. It doesn't freeze in Spain and we will pay for you to be there...😁😁
@@KoiPondLifestyle I used to go to spain costa del sol 4 or 5 times a year it does freeze sometimes you also need a license to have fish in a pond whch is difficult to get even if you know the mayor Ana Mula.
Funny as well I have always wanted to go to Sámi land to see the red nosed raindeer
