Thread: First winter!

Hi, it’s my first winter with a pond and I’ve done lots of reading up but just looking for a bit more advice. I’m in Somerset south west if that’s any help ie weather.
I have in my pond- 4 orfe, 1 albino grass carp, 2 mirror carp, 6 koi and 5 goldfish.
So I’ve got a few questions, my fish have not been eating their food for a couple weeks now apart from occasionally they will come up for a little bit. All the smallest fish including all the goldfish stay at the bottom and just chill, the 3 bigger koi(9 inches being the biggest) are a little active. Should I be feeding wheat germ or should I completely stop feeding? If so when do introduce wheatgerm/stop feeding completely.
Secondly- I presume with koi that I leave the filter running all winter?
Anything else I should be doing for winter? I’m worried about when it starts to get really cold but for now everyone seems to be doing well.
Thanks!
