In winter I pretty much stop for almost 3 months when the water drops below 50 deg. when hovering around low 50's I feed 1 per week. Funny thing is the koi are still superactive. During the winter they lose no confirmation but lose that thin layer of fat which makes the colors come out even more.

No feeding for me. Good for my pocket book too! and less cleaning..

Question is for those who have 4 seasons is. What happens when you do feed. Side effects to your koi?

I'm with you Joe. We stop for about three months just to slim them down a little. My wife might give them just a little wheat germ during this time because she thinks they just need food.
