Uneaten food around the edge of your pond or caught around or amongst the pond plants not only looks unsightly, but can be dangerous to the pond inhabitants. As they break down and end up polluting the pond in a worse case scenario.

Any uneaten food after five minutes should be netted out and shows that you are overfeeding.

A good and cheep investment is a NishiKoi feeding ring from ValueAquatics. Simply leave the ring floating in the pond and put the floating food into it. All the food stays in one place and is easy to net out the ring and any surplus food.

I tie a length of fishing line to it tied to the side, so I can pull it to the side easily for feeding etc.
