FAQ
Q: When should I switch to cool water food?
A: Switch when water temperatures consistently drop below 60°F (15°C), typically in fall and early spring.
Q: What's the difference between cool water and regular koi food?
A: Cool water formulas use wheat germ for easier digestion and have lower protein levels (28%) to match the reduced metabolism of koi in cooler temperatures.
Q: How often should I feed in cool water?
A: Feed once daily or every other day when water is 50-60°F. Reduce feeding frequency as temperatures drop. Stop feeding entirely when water drops below 50°F.
Q: Which size should I buy?
A: Choose based on your pond size and fish population. The 1 gallon is great for small ponds, while 10-20 lb bags suit most backyard ponds. Larger sizes offer better value.
Q: How do probiotics help my fish?
A: Probiotics support healthy digestion and beneficial gut bacteria, which helps fish process food more efficiently and reduces waste in your pond.
Q: How should I store this food?
A: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight.
