Feeding guidance

The UK range information allows feeding down to 5°C. That is a lower threshold, not a reason to maintain summer portions in cold water. Feed according to appetite and water conditions, reducing portions substantially as activity falls.

Distribute small portions so quieter fish have access. Watch the fish throughout feeding and remove uneaten food. Check ammonia and nitrite when increasing the ration, particularly as the pond warms and feeding becomes more frequent.

Choosing and storing your pack

Bag Size: 3KG, 15kg; Pellet Size: Medium Pellet. Select the required option to see its current price and availability. Choose a quantity you can use while fresh and a pellet size all intended fish can comfortably take.

Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Use a dry scoop and prevent pond water entering the food. Keep track of the opening date and follow the best-before date and storage directions printed on the pack.
