| For what purpose do you feed? That may sound like an odd question, but bear with me for a moment.
Some people want to "bonsai" their Koi, others go for maximum growth in the shortest time frame, others are consumed with pumping for color at every opportunity. These are different purposes that would impose different feeding regimes.
Here is what I'm looking for.
How much do you feed (under normal water temperatures/conditions) when you are trying to maximize growth? (feed volume per lb fish for example)
When preparing Koi for a show, what changes do you make?
If you use color enhancing feed, when do you stop before show time?
If you are feeding only for maintenence (size and health) how do you feed in terms of feed volume per lb fish?
I'll be interested to see the different approaches taken by different ponders.
