Kaytee - Koi's Choice Food!
Speaking of pond season... Uncle Bill's offers a nice selection of pond supplies and fish food, with this month's feature being focused on Kaytee Koi's Choice food! Koi's Choice formula is a highly digestible, floating food that is suitable for all seasons. It provides the necessary animal / vegetable proteins and essential nutrients required for optimal growth, color, health and longevity. 
Unlike Tetra's koi food this formula's first ingredient is fish meal rather than wheat starch, contains L-lysine, and it has the stabilized Vitamin C (L-Ascorbyl-2 Polyphosphate) higher up in the ingredients list than Tetra. This is the vitamin C that will last for up to a year in the feed, and your fish will benefit most from this ingredient. This food is also highly digestible for less waste and improved pond water clarity, with a minimum protein content of 35%!
You may be asking, since this food is for all seasons, does the changing of temperatures also alter feeding for your pond fish? It certainly does! As temperatures drop in the later months, during Fall and Winter, pond fish will eat less and eventually stop eating until the water temperature warms up. When the temperatures get colder, fish enter a hibernation-like state and will live off of their body fat reserves until warmer months. Once water temperatures are above 50°F, you can start your feedings again.
For reference, good rules of thumb for this would be:
*Warm water (above 60°F) - Feed 1 to 5 times daily, increasing the number of feedings as temperature rises or to achieve desired results.
*Cool water (50° - 60°F) - Feed 1 or 2 times daily.
*Cold water (below 50°F) - Feed every other day.
*Do not feed below 40°F.
Nutritionally complete, this formula is great for Koi, goldfish, and many other pond fish.
