How should I feed Kaytee Koi’s Choice at different water temperatures?

Feeding frequency changes with water temperature because fish metabolism slows in cooler water and speeds up in warmer water. Observe your pond and adjust feedings so that all pellets are consumed within 5–10 minutes; remove leftovers to protect water quality.

• Above 60°F: feed 1–5 times daily depending on appetite and growth goals
• 50–60°F: feed once or twice daily
• Below 50°F: feed every other day; do not feed under 40°F
• Always remove uneaten food after 5–10 minutes
