Feeding
Hi don’t think my fish are eating the food I put in could it be because they have been moved to a a new bigger pond ?
Just started using midikoi and staple only put a small amount in and they don’t come up for it most is in the skimmer an hour or so later when it turns on . Should I stop for a day or two and turn air off when feeding.

Could just be they are unsure about their new surroundings so are too scared to come up for the food.
I have noticed mine get a bit scared when the water starts to clear after it being green as they like to hide. They soon seem to get used to it though. Maybe worth stopping the feeding for a couple of days or so then trying a few pellets or flakes at a time and see how they react. I have to drop the food in and step back about 1m from the pond unless I want a free shower when I feed mine now I made the mistake of checking the dimensions of the pond the other day and they thought it was feeding time and I got soaked due to being fairly close to the surface of the water nearly got a mouth full of pond water

When i put my fish in my new bigger pond last month they all had a bit of a "sulk" for a coupla days
check params and aeration and you'll be fine
like frimley says they are just getting used to their new gaff.
