Hi Mark,
I started feeding about 2 weeks ago. One hand full when the temp is around 52 degree`s . I have skiped a few days on the side of caution. In my main pond I am feeding E A ONE from Mystic It is promoted as a staple diet of carp in the wild. No fish meal . just Vegetable protein, polychaete worms ,crustacea, honey[ I add that to my fish food in the spring ] just to name a few. 43 % protein last year I fed in winter and spring very sparely Miracle koi food that is sold by Gene Bunch from Oregon 66 % protein a lot of little critters in that food it sinks. It is sold in 1 lb bags $8 ea. [ small hand full 3 times a week] I use V-8 juice sometimes a little for them and most for me
My holding tank I have kept at 66 degree`s and have fed them everything but the kichen sink. Medicarp, Ogata wheat germ , fruit, krill, small portions twice a day. Crazy Huh
changeing foods all the time IMO is much better for them who wants to eat steak and potatoes all the time ?
