How to choose Pond Fish Food
Quality Pond Fish Food for Koi and Goldfish keeps the Pond Fish healthy & helps maintain the quality of the Pond Water.
Our most popular foods are our proprietary floating bulk mixes:
Basic Bulk Koi and Goldfish Food, Spring/Fall Bulk Koi and Goldfish food, and our Steak Mix bulk Koi and Goldfish food.
It is important to remember that what goes in does not all have to come out in regards to Koi and Goldfish Food.
Lighter, mass produced, and well marketed foods like Tetra Pond foods may not be the best choice as a primary food for Koi and Goldfish. Diets focused on quality and diversity produce more color, less fish waste, and healthier growth rates, most particularly in Koi.
Better food means healthier Koi and Goldfish, cleaner and clearer pond water, and less pond maintenance!

Both volumes of food weigh the same, 3.31lbs.
Our Bulk Koi and Goldfish Food Steak Mix is roughly twice as heavy at half the volume!
This means that your fish will consume approximately half as much and arguably get more than twice what they need in vitamins, minerals, fruits and vegetables, color enhancers, etc.
It is important to remember when feeding Koi and Goldfish that different Koi and Goldfish Food is required for different temperatures, because they do not have stomachs and are cold blooded, and their ability to digest varies with the water temperature.
Pond thermometers, feeding thermometers, and wifi temperature monitors are available to help determine what to feed Koi and Goldfish in different water temperatures.
Koi and Goldfish metabolisms work proportional to the temperature: higher temperatures require more food with different ingredients than lower water temperatures. Higher temperatures require more proteins, for example, and Cool Weather or Spring/Fall Koi and Goldfish Food requires easier digestible wheat germ and/or spirulina.
