Pond Fish Flakes

When choosing a flake, think about how quickly it's eaten and how many fish you're feeding. Only offer as much as your fish can clear within a few minutes, as uneaten flake will break down and affect water quality, particularly in smaller ponds. During the warmer months, when fish are most active and their metabolism is higher, flakes make a convenient everyday staple, while colder weather calls for a switch to wheatgerm-based foods that are easier to digest. Feeding little and often, rather than one large serving, helps mimic natural grazing behaviour and keeps fish healthier and more colourful over time, and is a habit worth building whichever flake you choose.
