If you feed them less food, they'll eat the insects and algae instead of waiting for you to feed them. I feed mine once every other day. Start with 1/8th cup, if they eat all of that in under 5 minutes, add a little bit more.

Could anyone tell me how much i should feed them and when? ============================ Seems everyone does it differently. There is obviously no "right" way except not to overfeed where the food rots and fouls the water. I feed koi that small several times a day, despite the algae, and insects that may fall into the ponds. My adult koi get fed once or twice a day, never less than once unless we're away for the weekend or it's storming. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED. Do not feed the trolls. ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o
