How to Use

Use The Pond Guy Spring & Fall Fish Food to feed your pond fish up to three times per week, but do not exceed the amount that fish will comfortably eat within a five-minute period. Start feeding your fish with Spring & Fall Fish Food once the water temperature falls below 50°F. Spring & Fall wheat germ based formula is much easier for the fish to digest in cooler water temperatures. Fish, being cold-blooded, can not digest food as easily once the water temperature falls below 50°F. Wheat germ based fish foods are much easier for their delicate digestive systems.

Seasonal Feeding

When choosing pond fish food, check the temperature recommendations on the package and compare it to your pond’s water temperature using a submersible thermometer. In the summer, once pond water reaches 50°F or above, feed your fish The Pond Guy Staple Fish Food. Start feeding Spring & Fall food when water temperatures are between 40–50°F, which will transition fish into and out of winter torpor. If water temperatures dip below 40°F, stop feedings.

Precautions

All fish feeding should stop once the water temperature drops to 40°F and below, as fish are in a state of hibernation. They will live off their stored body fat until spring feedings start up again at 40°F.
