My neighbor has a garden pond stocked with goldfish and koi and feeds them only once or twice a week. Is this enough?
It could be enough for fish to survive. It is recommended to feed at least once a day to reduce stress-related diseases, encourage healthy growth rates and develop superior condition. Temperature is really the most important variable in determining how often and how much to feed. Warmer temperatures necessitate at least one additional feeding and the higher activity level of fish will mean they will consume more in the same period of time.
