Feed in the autumn: adapting to cooler days

Feed in the autumn: adjust the temperature

In autumn, pond water can cool significantly within a short time. While warm days still lead to more intensive feeding activity, a cool night can change the conditions again. Therefore, when feeding, it is not only the season that matters, but also the measured water temperature.

Adjust ration gradually
Reduce the portion sizes as the feeding activity subsides. Be sure that no food remains in the water. Feeding larger amounts just because the koi are showing at the surface is not a reliable strategy.

Choosing an appropriate variety
For cool or changing feeding phases, JPD Shogun is designed as an all-season feed based on wheat grain. However, whether and how much to feed depends on the specific conditions.

Water quality remains crucial
The filter works differently depending on temperature and biological activity. Monitor relevant water parameters and ensure sufficient oxygen levels. Troubled Koi require special attention – no additional special food should be used as a substitute for diagnosis.

Conclusion
The best autumn strategy is flexible: measure temperatures, monitor fish behavior, and adjust the amount and type of food accordingly. Those who check the pond daily can make better decisions than with a rigid calendar plan.
