to watch for potential problems caused by high water temperatures
during extreme or extended hot periods.
It's important to feed food that is easily digestible so fish
benefit from fully absorbing the nutrients. Fish that actively
seek food should be fed 1-3 times a day. To ensure they've
consumed all of their food, feed small amounts at each feeding in
the summer heat. This will prevent uneaten food from decomposing
at the high temperatures and polluting your pond water. If your
fish show no interest in food, don't feed them!
The solubility of oxygen depends on temperature. In the winter,
oxygen readily dissolves into cold water, readily available for
fish. In the summer, as the water temperature rises oxygen
becomes increasingly insoluble. When fish feed in extreme summer
heat, their movement also uses more oxygen, which is a problem if
there isn't a sufficient oxygen supply in the water.
It is best to feed in the morningthe coolest time of day. Also,
take steps to increase water movement, such as ensuring there is
good water circulation, add a fountain to aerate water, and add
oxygenating plants.

five minutes. Fish eat what they need to survive in various
conditions. As the water temperature rises from 77F and up, fish
will consume less food in a given time.
