Floating. If you want to see your fish eat them, they will come up to the surface and flip around to get to the pellets. Non-floating? They sink when they get water-logged. But, if the pellets are on the bottom of the pond, you won't have as much fun watching them eat. The fish don't care, either way, as long as they get fed.

Floating pellets are definitely better. When food sinks to the bottom, it then rots and messes up the cycle and water quality. Some goldfish may pick food off the bottom, but most don't. The longer the food can stay on the top of the water, the better.

the main koi you may desire to put in a 125gal pond is one 12incher. Koi additionally want a very sturdy filtration/aeration sytem. the spectacular freezing in iciness isn't a project, i stay in eire and have a koi pond so i'm used to this. if by utilising thoroughly freezing you mean all the water, you could no longer have any fish without a heater,or get a deep pond. pond desires 5/6hours photograph voltaic. koi are greater durable to maintain, so in case you're able to do, get goldfish/shubunkin and so on., in case you intend on having vegetation interior the pond koi are a huge project, they dig up vegetation uprooting them and spreading the dirt everywhere in the pond. leaves fall into my pond a lot aswell now and back I scoop them out yet regularly no longer, none of those that flow into my pond harm fish, yet i'm specific some can. My clear out basically sucks them up besides. Having a bigger pond is unquestionably much less perplexing than having a small one, I actually have a 150gal(constantly reasons issues) and a 500gal(much less issues) so in case you could, get a bigger one, if no longer i might propose no longer getting koi. sturdy luck!

Better for who...the fish??? There isn't a difference in the ingredience so it would be for your convenience. Floating food can be seen if the fish are consuming it all and at what rate. Food at the bottom can't be seen, so you're guessing if the fish are being fed enough. Personally I use both, a little floating and a little non.

Floating my cause them to swallow air, so I would personally do sinking ones, unless you have a substrate at the bottom where is going to get burried and just pollute the water

I think floating pellets are best.
