Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best type of fish food for my pond fish?
It depends on your fish species and the time of year. Floating pellets are great for koi and goldfish in warmer months, while wheatgerm-based foods are ideal for colder seasons. Live and wet foods are perfect as occasional treats or for boosting variety.
How often should I feed pond fish?
In warm weather, 2–3 small feedings per day is typical. In colder weather (below 10°C), reduce or stop feeding depending on your fish’s activity levels and the product instructions.
How long can fish survive without food?
Most healthy pond fish can survive without food for up to 7 - 14 days, depending on species, water temperature, and overall health. In cooler temperatures, their metabolism slows down, so they require less food. However, going without food for extended periods isn't ideal and can weaken their immune system. If you're planning to be away, consider using an automatic feeder or asking someone to feed them small, measured amounts.
Is fish food appropriate for frogs?
While many of our fish food options are also appropriate for frogs, we recommend checking the packaging before feeding. Frogs and other amphibians have specific nutritional needs that aren't fully met by standard fish food. For optimal health, we recommend using purpose-made amphibian food.
Should I leave uneaten fish food in the pond?
No, it’s best to remove any uneaten fish food after a few minutes. Leftover food can break down in the water, leading to poor water quality, algae growth, and potential health issues for your fish. If your pond fish regularly leave food behind, you may be overfeeding. Try offering smaller amounts and observe their eating habits to find the right balance.
