Looking forward to the pond thawing and water warming up so we can see our school of koi. Any suggestions about spring feeding with special food or medicated food?

as temps come up they recommend feeding wheat based until the water warms up

Why would you want medicated food?

To be honest, I don't know if you can even buy medicated fish food anymore... I haven't seen it for years. Which is probably a good thing. No need to routinely or prophylactically medicate fish - or anyone for that matter!

Reno, Nevada. Rebuilt last year. About 25,000 gallons. 27 koi, boulders harvested off our property by my husband and myself. We did the whole project ourselves. And we’re no spring chickens! I’m so glad it’s done.

What are you using for a filter?
How deep is it? and did you run boulders down to the bottom?
