Feeding a New Fish Food UK - What to feed koi carp?

Hi guys, this is Mark from anypond.com your trusted resource in the UK for ponds and water features and I’ve got a quick tip for you.
When you’re putting your fish on a new food, don’t be alarmed if they don’t eat it straightaway. We’ve given these guys some of the different pellet and what they are is they’re creatures of habit and they get used to feed on the same thing so they might not necessarily recognise that it is a staple food and it’s fool of goodness until they’ve had a go at it.
It’s like, let’s say for instance, I put something brand new on your plate. Would you wanna eat it with gusto. But let’s say you’ve had it a couple of times and you really love it then you would eat it with gusto and you’ll be like “Ah! Give me some more.”
To start with, it’s not so appetising. So it could be the best food out there, but don’t be alarmed. Just mix it into your normal food and give them a little bit and you know, you’ll coax them on. But what fish don’t like is they don’t like change. Now, yes, it is spring...coming up to the end of March and the water temperature is quite low. It’s about 10 degrees. So the fish are not active because they don’t need that amount of energy. So the metabolic rate is a lot lot lower. So 10 degrees...they’re actually half the metabolic rate of 20 degrees. That’s why you don’t wanna feed them too high protein and you want to feed them something that’s very easily digestible.
