Koi food for the spring
The right koi food is very important in spring, because it helps the fish regain their strength and replenish their depleted energy reserves. Koi carps usually have to go without food for months during the winter.
In spring the water slowly becomes warmer again. However, the temperatures often still fluctuate considerably. This is an immense strain on the organism of your Koi, which is why the animals are particularly susceptible to parasites and diseases in spring.
With the right koi food you can counteract negative effects in spring. In the following we will explain what you need to pay attention to when feeding and what constitutes a good Koi food for spring.
From when koi should be fed in spring
Koi carps are cold-blooded. This means that they cannot regulate their body temperature themselves. The activity of their metabolism therefore depends on the outside temperature. Feeding in winter is therefore generally not necessary.
Exactly when you can start feeding in spring depends on the water temperature. Fish are able to digest the food from about eight degrees.
At this time it is sufficient to feed the koi once a day. The amount of food should be chosen so that everything is eaten within 20 minutes. Ideally the fish should be fed at midday, as the temperatures are highest at this time and the Koi carp are therefore most active.
If the water temperature rises to 10 to 15 degrees you can feed your fish twice a day in spring. The Koi food should then have been completely consumed within five minutes each time.
What is the best koi food for the spring
Koi carps are extremely sensitive animals. For this reason it is important to ensure that their diet is of high quality. Suitable koi food for the spring should be as easily digestible and easily digestible as possible.
As the fish have a great need for nutrients after winter, it is also important to ensure a high nutrient density. The feed should therefore provide them with sufficient high-quality fats and proteins and contain additional nutrients such as vitamins and minerals to strengthen the immune system.
