FAQs
Can I feed this to my fish if the water is 8 °C?
No, JBL ProPond Autumn S is formulated for temperatures between 10-20 °C. Below 10 °C, fish metabolism is too slow to process this food.
How often should I feed my koi in the autumn?
As temperatures drop toward the 10 °C threshold, gradually reduce the frequency and quantity of feedings.
Are these wafers suitable for goldfish?
Yes, as long as the goldfish are within the 15-35 cm size range for which the 3 mm wafer is designed.
What is the protein content of this food?
JBL ProPond Autumn S contains 28% protein.
Why is the protein-to-fat ratio important?
The 3:1 ratio provides the energy reserves needed for winter while remaining easy for the fish to digest as their metabolism slows down.
Should I refrigerate the food to keep it fresh?
No, store the resealable pouch in a cool, dry, and dark place. Refrigeration can introduce condensation, which may spoil the food.
Troubleshooting
Food is settling on the bottom uneaten
You are likely overfeeding; reduce portion sizes so that all food is consumed within 2-3 minutes.
Water temperature is fluctuating rapidly
Monitor the pond daily and only feed during the warmest part of the day while temperatures remain within the 10-20 °C range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Storage: Always keep the pouch tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent ingredient degradation.
- Temperature Checks: Use an accurate pond thermometer. Stop feeding this product once the sustained water temperature drops below 10 °C.
- Compatibility: Designed specifically for koi and other pond fish in the 15-35 cm size range. For larger koi, consider supplementing with appropriate larger pellets if necessary, though the nutritional profile remains consistent across the ProPond line.
- Handling: Avoid touching the food with wet hands to prevent introducing moisture into the resealable pouch.
