Cricket box 🤣🤣🤣 I love feeding the fish it’s so therapeutic (I don’t get in though). I knew the temperature of the water was important before feeding starts but I didn’t realise the fish food temperature was also. I just love feeding them

Hello. Great video. What should I feed an eel, 2 golden orfe and 3 tench? Also how do I make tench come up to the surface? Thank you

[@ThePondAdvisor]

Good question!, you have a number of different requirements. Some small mouth Eels will eat pellets if they have large mouth they will eat live fish (not great for a garden pond) and tench prefer to eat of the base in rocks or mud. The only time I have seen tench feed off the surface is when there is a problem with the diet. If you have bare liner (rubber or fibreglass) and the base is clean (sterile) they don’t have a choice. This however is not ideal.

Hello a couple of months ago I bought a small packet of freeze dried blood worms for my pond goldfish as a treat now and then recently noticed that I have been getting live worms in my filter. Is there any way that it could be related? I’m not overly worried as when I clean the filter I throw the worms in and they gobble them up. It’s not infested just 4 or 5 each time.

[@ThePondAdvisor]

No it’s not related, midge flies lay eggs on the pond surface and that causes the little blood worms.

Great free source of fish food, it always amazes me when I find garden worms in pond filters. They are processing the waste, if you have a lot then it is a warning sign the organic load might be high.
