The Rule of 50,
Water TemperatureI post info on seasonal feeding times, temperatures, what’s best for fish health every year about this time. Sure enough it’s that time again! I had 2 calls today asking if they could start feeding their Koi again… I said, Check your Pond thermometer & “Remember the rule of 50”! 😊
“I’ve been hawking my Pond Thermometer these last few weeks! The temperature of the water has been steadily rising as the days get longer and we approach Spring. As usual, I will start the feeding season with Cool Temp Koi Food when the water temp has stabilized over 50 + degrees. The “rule of 50” I like to call it 😉
It’s about time to start feeding our Koi “Cool Temp. Fish Food” & even some fresh fruits and veggies like peas, oranges, grapefruit & softened carrots again! YES!!! I ❤️ Spring! Just remember to read the thermometer 🌡 & follow the “Rule of 50”! Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
This is my favorite season of the year! Everything is waking up! Including my KOI! They have been VERY active lately! And literally begging for food 😊 It’s so hard to wait… But, it’s part of the process & it’s so important for our finned friends health and well being.
Keep your Koi happy and healthy as we transition into Spring. Use quality Cool Temperature Koi Food from Carters Nursery Pond & Patio | Jackson, Tennessee | I ❤️ Koi!
So, to wrap it up…
The Rule of 50 = Let the water temp stabilize for at least a week at 50+ degrees Fahrenheit before you start to feed your koi in the Spring. AND, when you do start back to feeding, use a quality, Cool Season Koi Food! And don’t over feed! Happier days are here again 😊
Happy Pondering 🤔

Water Temperature,
ZenThe days are growing longer and the water temperature is rising! The water temp has hit 50 💥 The Magic #! I think the fish know as well… They are active and asking to eat 😊
They have awoke! Feed me is their call!
I think the fish have been monitoring the thermometer 🌡 The water is up to 50 degrees now 😊 You know what that means! 💥
This is my favorite time of the year! Everything is coming back to life & it’s about time to start feeding the Koi again! There isn’t anything much more Zen than that to me ✌🏻
Enjoy the day! Spring is almost here 😊

Sunday with FamilyWhat a beautiful Sunday morning! Cool and crisp! Warming today, but several days of rain ahead… Ahhh, but it’s March! Springtime is only inches away 😊 I can feel it!
Last weeks bud is this weeks early flower. Spring is almost here!
The First Of March
“The sun is brilliant in the sky but its warmth does not reach my face.
The breeze stirs the trees but leaves my hair unmoved.
The cooling rain will feed the grass but will not slake my thirst.
It is all inches away but further from me than my dreams.”
~ M. Romeo LaFlamme
Have a Great Sunday!

The Rule of 50,
Water TemperatureThe temps continue to fall & the sun is setting earlier every day! Jack Frost Has paid a visit now & he will be a regular all through the coming winter… Now is the time that my clients and fellow Koi enthusiasts take that tough but very important step… But I’m still asked the question … – When do I stop feeding my Koi for the season?
Answer : Remember the rule of 50!
Every Pond should have a floating Pond thermometer. Our finned friends are cold blooded & knowing your water temperature is very important when it comes to seasonal feeding times. Pick one up at Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
Check and verify your water temp (via a pond thermometer) & when your water temp drops to 50 degrees in the Fall, you should STOP feeding your Koi for the season 😢 That’s the “Rule of 50… 😉
Happy Pondering 🤔
