    Hi mate i feed mine twice a day in main pond. Pond 4x times a day in QT grow on. Feed mine aqua grow plus and aqua fresh water shrimp. Every couple of days a slice of bread. But as the days get hotter bread every day. I will be feeding as treats muscles. Oranges without peel. Used to throw peel and orange in but it gets in my drum so just orange now. Lettuce.

    It's not really that important what everyone else is feeding because there are loads of different variables between fish/pond's and the quality of the food you are using.

    What I'm doing at the moment is feeding twice a day and my pond is heated to 18°c. I have 25 Koi avarage size roughly 55cm plus. I'm feeding approximately 200gms a day of Saki Hikari sinking/floating balance.

    I'll keep this going for another month or so till I start raising the pond temperature to 23°c / 24°c. I will also start using the profi feeder and increasing the amount of food and number of feed's right up to full growing season mode.

    I hope this helps?
