The link between chrionomid larvae and cyprinus carpio ...

The chironomid (midge) larvae are a preferred food for carp. Midge will emerge in all four seasons. They are an available food source in December, January, and February in climates where the ponds, lakes and rivers freeze over. The winter emerging midge companied with amphipods carry the carp through winter.

The midge is rich in amino acids that are well balanced. Additionally the protein, carbohydrate, and fat ratios approximate 48% protein, 23% carbohydrate, and 14% fat. The nutritional profile of Kenzen was created with the midge in mind.

This food puts the power of choice in the koi keeper’s hands. When to feed and when to fast is up to the keeper and their objectives for their koi.

During the winter when koi are typically not fed they are still burning calories. A koi can loose 10-15% of its body weight over winter. This puts stress on the koi. I would rather feed the koi and support the koi’s ability to: have a thick slim coat and to create new white blood cells; hence have a strong immune system in preparation for the stresses of springtime.

Feeding lightly about once every 4 – 5 days is all that is needed.

With respect to other foods, it is best to follow the recommended feeding temperature ranges provided by the respective manufacturer.

Enjoy this video of winter time feeding, it’s Jan 6th, 2012, the water temperature is 36 degrees; the fish are active and eager to eat at this temperature.
