How often should I feed my pond fish?

Feeding Schedule for Pond Fish

Feeding your pond fish depends on several factors, including the type of fish, the season, and the water temperature. Generally, during the warmer months (spring and summer), you can feed your fish 1-2 times a day, ensuring they consume all the food within 5 minutes. In cooler months (fall and winter), fish metabolism slows down, so you may only need to feed them once every few days or not at all if the water temperature drops below 50°F (10°C). Always observe the fish to adjust the feeding amount and frequency based on their activity levels and appetite. Overfeeding can lead to water quality issues, so it's better to err on the side of caution. For example, if you have koi or goldfish, they thrive on a high-quality pellet or floating food that meets their dietary needs. Remember to remove any uneaten food to maintain a clean pond environment.
