I inherited a pond with the house which is 12'x6' and about 20" deep. There are about 20 goldfish and about 6 koi carp and a lot of (stickle backs) I'm never sure when I should start to feed the fish again? I was told above 10° which it was 12 today but for the next few days it will be 5° or 6° so any advice appreciated.

Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
When to start feeding my pond fish again?

- Start date
I would start feeding once the temperature is over 10 degrees every day.

It was 12 degrees here for the first time this year, so I fed our nine goldfish a small handful of food sticks.
I went back a couple of hours later and found that they had been nibbling. Still some bits floating about, though.
Unless it's over 10 degrees for more than a couple of days, I'll not feed them again yet.

Ok thanks I will wait a while longer.
