Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which pellet size should I choose for my fish?
A: Choose the 3.0 mm (1/8″) pellets for young fish or smaller goldfish under 4 inches. The smaller size is easier for them to eat and has higher protein (42%) to support rapid growth. Choose the 5.0 mm (3/16″) pellets for mature koi and larger goldfish over 4 inches. The larger pellets are easier for big fish to consume and provide balanced nutrition for adult fish.
Q: How do I know when to switch to cold water food?
A: Monitor your water temperature regularly with a pond thermometer. When temperatures consistently drop below 50°F (typically in late fall), switch to PondScape Cold Water Koi and Goldfish Food. This wheat germ-based formula is easier for fish to digest when their metabolism slows down in cooler water. Switch back to Growth & Color formula in spring when temperatures rise above 50°F.
Q: Will this food really improve my fish's colors?
A: Yes! This formula is fortified with spirulina and other marine ingredients that are natural color enhancers. With regular feeding, you'll notice brighter reds, deeper oranges, and more vibrant colors in your koi and goldfish within 4-6 weeks. For best results, feed consistently and ensure your fish are getting proper nutrition year-round.
