It's interesting here in Atlanta. The weather changes so much from week to week I find myself second guessing if I should feed my little friends or not. I haven't, and even if they were really hungry I guess they would just munch on the string algea in the pond.

Is this warm weather unusual for your part of the World or are things genuinely starting to warm up?

I think I wold be a littlle nervous feeding if there is the likelyhood of another cold snap as it could upset the balance of your pond.

Great to hear that you fish are ok though

Don't give in to them if the water is below 50 d F.

Fishes have a hard time adopting in the weather or temperature. But there are lot of ways to alter weather changes though :)

Our pond is still in the 60's, but it also has good depth and size.
Link to how to do our pond via a live feed, if it is down, it is probably because I am out there working............lol
