With the weather forecast saying daytime temperatures will be 15-18 degrees for at least the next few days, I also fed my fish this morning. They were very hungry!
I gave them low temperature food as this is easier to digest and so doesn't affect water quality too much. Also chucked in a few worms for the Sticklebacks.
I feed very little until the biological filters kick in and don't feed at all when the taddies hatch as they gorge themselves on these. Always plenty who survive and morph into frogs.
Isn't it great? The ponding season has started again.

| It's lovely and warm out there today, 16 degrees at the minute and got to 19 yesterday. Gave them a small feed today after a bit of a clean up and they were very hungry. But will be carefull as its only been warm a day or two so the filters arent fully operational. The water certainly doesn't feel like it did a week or so ago! Hopefully the two koi with carp pox will clear up nice and quickly now. It's all good!! |
