I am once again thoroughly enjoying ponding/ koi keeping.
Feeding you should check your pond if it is full of algae for food, and mosquito larvae if there are none once a week is too long forever it is okay if you are on vacation. Feeding every other day will lessen the work of your filter. I suggest feed little enough everyday just enough around 5 small pellets per fish and observe that you are able to feed everyone then observe their body if they get slim add up a bit.
