WOW! sounds like a lot of fun.

Hope this helps.

1) Koi fish needs to be fed fresh fruit – You see, Koi fish is omnivorous. This means that they pretty much eat anything edible. Many manufactured Koi feed do contain vitamins and minerals. However, these minerals tend to break down after a few months. By feeding Koi fish fresh fruits, you will be able to ensure that they get their needed nutrients. Here are some fruits that you can feed your Koi:

a) Oranges and lemons – This two fruits are great sources of vitamin c. In order to feed your Koi these citrus fruits, you need to halve or quarter them and drop them directly into the pond. The Koi fish will usually crowd around the fruit, allowing each fish an opportunity to eat of the pulp. Amazing how such simple creatures cooperate, right?

Oh, and you need to take out the skin of the fruit after the Koi fish is done eating. They only eat what you can eat, remember that.

b) Watermelons – You need to slice watermelons into small pieces, remove the seeds and then drop these directly into the pond.

2) Other feeding tips –There are certain methods which Koi fish keepers use in feeding their pets. Here are some things you might want to consider:

a) Season – The season of the year often determines how much you need to feed your Koi and what type of food to use. You can easily research this information on the internet.
