Fish Feeding Tips

 

Quick Reference for feeding pond fish

Depending on the water temperature, pond fish have different nutritional requirements and feeding habits. At water temperatures of 10°C (50°F) or above, fish feed up to four times daily, but only as much as they can consume in two minutes.

It is better to feed in small portions where everything is eaten, resulting in less waste and pollution. In winter, when the water temperature drops below 6°C (42°F), pond fish require no food. At below freezing temperatures fish are dormant.


Never overfeed your fish. Excess food will pollute the pond water. Remember, Laguna foods are highly nutritional, easy to digest and contain an ideal combination of vitamins and minerals. As a result, fish do not require as much food and less waste is produced.
