How to Stock a Pond or Lake
To properly balance your pond, you should stock your pond with three prey fish, like perch or bluegill, for every predator fish, such as bass. This pond stocking strategy will ensure that predator fish will have a bountiful selection of prey, while still giving the prey fish a sporting chance to mature and reproduce.
When you first stock your pond, we recommend adding some fathead minnows to feed the predator fish while the prey fish become established. Keep in mind that catfish will have little effect on the prey-to-predator ratio as they are more likely to stick to themselves at the bottom of the pond.
Tips on Feeding Pond Fish
To maintain a natural balance in your pond, we recommend stocking a good ratio of prey to predator fish. It’s also important to create proper fish habitat in your pond to enable smaller prey fish and minnows to reproduce and naturally maintain the food supply.
If you’re trying to help them grow quickly so you can use your pond for fishing, supplemental nutrition is key. Our Game Fish Grower pellets make great pond fish food for bluegill, bass, trout, and more. Packed with high amounts of protein and vitamins, the food encourages growth and provides balanced nutrition to increase resistance to common diseases.
Why Does Water Temp Matter?
Water temperature will have an effect on how much your fish will eat. As the water temperatures start dropping in the fall, fish will eat less and will eventually stop feeding until spring when the water warms up. Only feed your game fish when the water temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
When temperatures become colder, fish are almost in a state of hibernation and will live off their stored body fat until spring. Once water temperatures are above 50°F, start your feedings again. Feed your game fish up to two or three times per day, but do not exceed the amount that fish will comfortably eat within a five-minute period.
How to Use
Simply use The Pond Guy Game Fish Grower Pond Fish Food to feed your game fish up to two or three times per day, but do not exceed the amount that fish will comfortably eat within a five-minute period. Feeding pond fish is recommended only when water temperatures are above 50°F (10°C).

Precautions
All fish feeding should stop once the water temperature reaches 50°F. At that point, the fish are almost in a state of hibernation, so they will live off their stored body fat until spring feedings start again at 50°F.
Fish Feeding Tip
Take the guesswork out of feeding times and ensure fish are eating naturally with The Pond Guy KoiGrower Automatic Fish Feeder. Most pond fish are scavengers that thrive best on frequent small meals to support optimal digestion and activity levels. The Fish Feeder is a simple way to provide pond fish with a consistent meal schedule.
