@CarpCharacin ......are your koi in hibernation or are they still eating? with the crazy weather here and the de-icer in the pond, mine are still hungry!! DH has been giving them mealworm treats several days per week on our way to feed the birds, and i’ve been feeding them 3-5 times per week. i’m still running my small fountain filter to maintain water quality and aeration but we shut down the waterfall before the last hard freeze.

I think it is safe to say you can stop feeding the fish. LOL There is a certain temp you are supposed to stop at but I dont remember it.

yeah typically with water temp below 50* but this year they’ve been more active and of course like all my critters, they are a bit spoiled
