t has all been calculated for you. All you do is:
1. Lookup the koi size in the 2nd table and find the amount of grams to feed per day according to the tempreture range.
2. Do (1) for each koi and add the amounts up and then divide by the number of feedings a day.

All hinges on whether you have the filtration to cope with the end product of the feed you put in .

I think it depends on more than that, it's also about whether you can get your fish to form an orderly queue for their dinner and having got their portion not push into the queue before others have been served.
To be serious for a moment, I guess it may be of use to some, but most will have fish of different sizes in the same pool and though koi are very sociable creatures, at dinner time, "it's every man for himself"

I'll stick to chucking in as much as they will clear in thirty minutes, two or three times a day.
