When to stop feeding fish for winter
When to stop feeding my pond fish | Any Pond Limited | UK
hi guys chances are you're looking for a
video about when to stop feeding your
fish now it's coming to the end of
September early October and you can see
the fish aren't that keen on coming up
for food normally when I sit here in the
summer they write up going where now
they're sort of like they're half
interested then they're there telling me
that they don't want a lot so basically
what you can do is if if there's a lot
of fish in the pond there's gonna be a
lot less natural food in there so if
there's a lot of mouths and there's not
that much natural food in the pond they
might be starving so they might need a
little bit of food in this pond it's
balanced as you can see that it's lots
of plants lots of algae lots of snails
and crustaceans insects there's a whole
balanced ecosystem so we've only got a
few fish in there so they're not that
hungry they've been basically eating or
grazing all day long cold blooded fish
they've got an intestine rather than a
stomach sort of that means that they're
grazing all the time rather than having
a stomach and taking on one big meal at
one time and then digesting it they've
got an intestine which is basically like
a hose pipe they only can take a certain
amount of food on at any one time they
can't sit there like a catfish or an eel
or something that's got a stomach so
it's basically one big meal and then
they digest it it's an intestine so most
of these freshwater fish goldfish or
bumpkins koi they've all got an
intestine so it's basically what they do
is they digest the food over a period of
time so what you don't want to do is you
don't want to over feed the fish you'll
feed the fish too late into the year so
it sits inside their intestine and rock
so then they get bacterial infections
inside their gut so don't feed the fish
unless they ask for it you can see these
fish aren't asking for it today so I'm
not going to feed them when it gets
cooler you want to start giving them a
wheat germ food but as you can see these
guys aren't even asking for food so I'm
not even gonna feed them the wheat germ
