Spring is in full swing! We are well past our frost and the whole world is green! I LOVE it! So do my Koi! 😊 They have been tearing up the Cool Season Koi Food and the veggies I have been feeding them. In fact, many of my customers and fellow Koi enthusiasts have been feeding Cool Season Food & have asked me the all important question…
– When can I start feeding Max Growth and Color Enhancing Koi Food?
– My Answer- Remember the rule of 60!
When the water temperature has stabilized above 60 degrees Fahrenheit you can switch to a Higher Protein or a Color Enhancing Koi Food. We like to call it the ‘Rule Of 60’… | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
We have covered The Rule of 50 in previous Blogs, when coming out of Winter into Spring, you must let the water temp stabilize for at least a week at 50+ degrees Fahrenheit before you start to feed your koi. AND, when you do start back to feeding, you should use a quality, Cool Season Koi Food! And don’t over feed! Gradually reintroduce food to them in small amounts.
Now, at least for me (check your thermometer) it’s time to feed a regular Koi Food. In fact, I will start to feed both high protein and color enhancing feed, alternating weekly between the two.
Every Pond should have a floating Pond thermometer. Our finned friends are cold blooded & water temperature is very important when it comes to seasonal feeding times. Pick one up at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
So to wrap it up, check your water temp & when your above 60 degrees for several days in a row and climbing, you can transition to a warm season Koi Food. That’s the “Rule of 60”… 😉
Viva La’ Spring!
Happy Pondering 🤔

Question: What’s the best time to feed my Koi?
People ask me that all the time! The answer is a pretty simple one… After the water temperature has stabilized in the spring and conditions are right, most anytime is a good time to feed your Koi! ❤️ The #1 thing not to do – Don’t overfeed! Feed a little at a time and let them consume it, then feed a little more IF they are still eating. I feed mine in the morning and then again in the evening. They are waiting on me both times 😊
One of the most enjoyable parts of the day is feeding my Koi! Remember – Feed em’ high quality Koi Food! Available at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee
Check our last evenings feeding session 👇🏻

So to wrap it up – don’t overfeed & enjoy the moment. Feeding your Koi is one of the many rewards of having a Pond!
Happy Pondering!
