How often are you guys feeding your fish? I do so once in the morning
and again once in the evening. About 3 handfuls per feeding.
Financially speaking, I wouldn't mind toning it down some ;-)

## Don't buy the overpriced koi/GF foods. I buy catfish food for $11 per 50
lb bag at a farm store, Tractor Supply Company. This year I bought 20 lbs
of trout chow to add and give them some variety. I also mix in a small
amount of kitten chow with the fish food and feed them twice a day. I have
loads of fish in 2 ponds and an assortment of pools and a 500 gallon tank of
young koi. It costs us no more than $20 to $30 a year in fish food. I also
toss in worms and grubs I find in the garden and compost pile.

Though I do enjoy the respite in the morning watching them eat.
