LFriedel Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hi - we are new at having fish in our pond and found the food went into the skimmer and gummed it up , not to mention the waste. My husband rigged up a floating ring about 2 1/2 feet in diameter and we added a few pond lettuce plants. It works okay to keep the food pellets from going into the filter but I'm wondering if there is a better way some of you may have come up with?

balikiss Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 A feeding ring sounds like just the thing you need. Stop the food from being blown around by any current there is, keep it outa the filter, and you fish will learn to go to the ring when it's feeding time.

Crystal Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I just use a feeding ring. I was unsuccessful at using anything else. Until the parrot's feather plant grew large enough to stop the food - but it was also stopping the leaves. I used one of those long pool noodles and glued a dowel into the holes in the ends to make a circle. Floats great, tied it to the pond edge with fishing line.
