I was in a Fish Store yesterday on the Beach here in Florida that I have not been to before, Me and the owner got to talking and he services 6 ponds that he has accounts with, including a Pool-Converted-Pond in Seaside, yes it is a PERFECT (literally) beach side town 30 minutes away from PC Beach and is also where the "Truman show" was filmed with Jim Carey (To give you an idea). The reason I mentioned this is the lady who owns the Pond wants it PERFECTLY CLEAN, like the blue tile in the "Pool" is always blue with not a single spec of sludge in the pond and Crystal Clear water you could drink out of (Not really). She feeds her fish supposedly top quality food that caters to different times of the year and conditions.
The Owner told me that was a myth and just a marketing tool, so I asked him about the two bags of food I have "Koi and Goldfish Color Vibrance" and "Spring and Fall Diet" and he said that they are virtually the same with different amounts of protein etc. but stated it was unnecessary.
What are your opinions on this? He seemed very knowledgeable and wise when it came to ponds and fish keeping, but at the same time came off as a "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of guys too?
