Thanks for the info. I was just curious because birds fly off with pieces of
our dogs food and sometimes they drop it in my ponds. The fish seem to love it.
I also have a friend that knows someone who feeds his koi cat food. Is it ok to
sometimes give the fish dog or cat food or to avoid it altogether? Also my fish
love oranges and lemons. Judi

You know, after reading your messages I decided to check out some other koi and
gf foods. I noticed that the first ingredient in all of them was wheat and the
second corn. What food do you use that doesn't have the grains as the first 2
ingredients? I also read somewhere that wheat germ based is best for the fish
when the temp.drops. Judi

Ogata and Grand Champion. actually what is best for fish when temps drop is romet B
for 2 weeks before quit feeding. it is antibiotic and saturates their tissue.

Here again Judi,.... not everyone takes this advice. Myself and my friends
feed our fish the SAME foods until the water gets around 55 F or lower -
then we stop feeding them altogether. No need to buy different foods.

Where do you get the cocktail shrimp? And is it bad for the fish to eat lemons
and oranges? It seems like this would be a real healthy treat for them with all
the vitamin C. Judi

frozen food section of grocery. oranges are ok for the vitamins, but best is to keep
fish food frozen and that keeps vitamin C fresh., after 6 months however, the vit C
degrades. some people soak food in a bit of vit C liquid. I just get fresh food
