Feeding Koi in Canada: The Complete Guide
Good food is the foundation of vibrant colour and long-term health. Here's how to feed your koi through the Canadian seasons.
Feed by water temperature
- Above 12°C: feed a high-quality color-enhancing food with spirulina & astaxanthin.
- 8–15°C (spring/fall): switch to an easy-to-digest wheat-germ formula.
- Below 8°C: stop feeding — koi metabolism slows and uneaten food fouls the water.
How much and how often
Feed only what your koi finish in about 5 minutes, once or twice a day in warm weather. Overfeeding is the #1 cause of poor water quality.
Food for colour
Spirulina and astaxanthin intensify reds and brighten whites. Pair quality food with clean, stable water for the best results.
