Feed or not to Feed Can't Post

We have been having strange weather, my pond is warming up for the second time, its already at 53 deg, fish are starting to get active, we are now forecast unusual weather for at least the next 7 days of upper 60's with a couple of 70's thrown in. Do I feed them with wheatgerm or just leave them alone. Any help would be great
Cool

Zaney...

I was thinking the same a while ago...

I thought to just leave them....since you would have to starve them again soon.....plus they can just eat elgea if they feel they need to eat...Tongue

Pirate if u have waterlily in you koi pond and u 2 lazy 2 go out and feed them they just pick of the rest the leaves in the winter just like my pond, and u know how the waterlily is don't grow much in the winter just a few tiny leaves on the surfaces. I hope they will grow back in the summer i got like 2 color of them purple and blue many kinds in one bucket, but i still have some blue and purple irish that re grow it leaves now very green too i guess koi don't like irish, only catipilar like that thing i hate it when the waterlily near blooming that when they have alot of catipilar hiding on their leaves and sometimes they climb over on the irish plant and eat them too. So i have to go down the pond and pick them up and kill them don't know where they coming from, i keep killing them and they keep coming out during the summer Crazy may be from my back yard neighbor they have a bunch of big trees but i don't see much butterly and dragonfly hanging around that thing because by that time lot of bird making their nest there during summer Mad and those birds are noisy in the summer too alway wake me up early in the morning. Yeah too bad i can't shoot it with bb because of the law in my state
