I buy from pet mountain there tetra pond stick because they float and do not sink and cause water quality problems and i also buy from them OSI koi treats in orange ,blueberry and strawberry .I feed my koi watermelon and strawberries and blueberries .I buy the OSI in the small and big pellet size and smaller pellets cost more for same size bag at less than 3 dollars great treat and gives them the extra vitamins they need

It's best to start with a quality koi pellet, but only feed small amounts in the beginning due to letting the filtration establish.
If you are going to put plants in the pond I always go for lilies, as they look nice and gives your fish cover from predators above.
they also cover the water on sunny days, and keep blanket weed at bay.
