Best Fish Food for Phoenix Pond Koi and GoldFish

11/6/2018

 

What's the Best Food to Feed my Pond Fish?

Just like humans, the absolute best food to feed your fish are natural whole foods, like fruits and vegetables, and allowing them to graze on the algae that naturally grows in the pond. Okay, maybe as humans, we don't want to eat the algae, but that's a whole different discussion. Feeding your pond fish lettuce, zucchini, oranges, melons, etc., will not only keep them healthy, but help maintain your water quality. 

What's The Best Commercial Food Can I Buy for My Pond FIsh?

If you opt to keep commercial fish food around, be sure it's the best stuff. If you feed your kids a diet comprised of just breakfast cereal, that's not enough to keep them healthy. The same goes for feeding your beloved wet pets. Read labels, like you do when buying food for your dogs and cats. If you consider your pond fish your pets, then you'll want to feed them the good stuff. They'll be healthier, live longer, and look better, too! Here are some commercially-made fish foods that we've personally found are great.

Warm-Weather Pond Fish Foods

When your water temps (which follow nighttime temps) are above 55 degrees, these fish food options are terrific.

Aquascape Premium Staple Fish Food Pellets are formulated for everyday use and provide your pond fish with the nutrition they need to thrive at an affordable price. This food contain probiotics that aid in digestion and reduce fish waste, while the high-quality protein included helps to optimize growth rates. The floating pellets contain stabilized vitamin C and other quality ingredients and are scientifically formulated for all pond fish, including Koi and goldfish. This fish food will not break apart during feeding, helping to maintain clear water conditions. 
  • Floating pellet ideal for all pond fish
  • Probiotics aid in digestion and reduce fish waste
  • High-quality protein optimizes fish growth
  • Contains stabilized vitamin C 
  • Helps keep pond water clean and clear

One step further would be the Premium Color Enhancing pond fish food.
  • Floating pellet promotes brilliant colors in pond fish
  • Probiotics aid in digestion and reduce fish waste
  • High-quality protein optimizes fish growth
  • Contains stabilized vitamin C 
  • Helps keep pond water clean and clear

Cold-Weather Pond Fish Food

When your water temps are below 55 degrees, you can switch over to natural treats (fruits & veggies), or this fish food works well.

The Premium Cold Water pond fish food is actually formulated to be fed to pond fish when the water is cold and their systems are not as active.
  • Floating pellet ideal for all pond fish
  • Probiotics aid in digestion and reduce fish waste
  • High-quality protein optimizes fish growth
  • Contains stabilized vitamin C 
  • Helps keep pond water clean and clear

The bottom line is to read labels and make an informed decision. I guess that's actually good advice for us human, too!
