Hi!
We just recently (about 1 month ago) inherited 4 large koi. One we had to hospitalize for injury to her scales from mating we presume, but she is doing much better now and is back in the pond with the rest. We have always fed with floating pellets, but these larger fish don't seem to come to the top to feed like my other piglets. Should I buy flake food for them that will sink to the bottom? I like the floating pellets because there is less chance of over-feeding, but it just seems like the smaller fish are going to town and the larger ones get just a few and I mean a few if any pellets. Also we have been feeding the medicated pellets to prevent bacterial infection for the recently injured koi but I honestly don't know if she's getting enough. Would you recommend flakes in this case or a bit of both flakes and pellets? I feel like I am starving these poor guys. My smaller ones will hand-feed also but these ones are not that comfortable yet. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Dave
