Its Getting Colder…

The temperatures are dropping and that means its time to stop feeding your koi and let them get into their hibernation groove. There are foods comprised of easily digestible matter such as wheat germ that can be fed up untill the water temperature hits 55 degrees. Once that mark is hit, stop feeding altogether and wait untill spring. A thermometer will be a great asset to determine when to stop. Give us a call if you’re in need of a thermometer or a high quality fall feed for your koi.

Did you know…

All pumps should be inspected for wear and build up of debris on a regular basis. Annually is a good routine, however, areas that are prone to hard water and pumps in salt water systems should be checked bi-annually.
