Koi fish most often float in these ponds. This is because their food is designed to float and thus make them come to the surface. These fish can easily recognize their feeders and always gather around them at feeding times. They can be also trained to take food from one’s hand. During the winter, they tend to eat very little, since their digestive systems slow nearly to a halt.
