Water temperature decides more koi-keeping questions than any other number: when to start feeding in spring, when to switch to wheat germ in fall, when it's warm enough to medicate, when to stop feeding entirely. The Laguna floating thermometer answers it at a glance from the pond edge.
Specifications
- Floats at the surface with a large easy-read window, dual °F/°C scale, 30–120°F (0–50°C)
- Anchoring cord included — tether it to the edge so it reads where you can see it instead of drifting behind the waterfall
- All-plastic, rust-free, fish-safe construction. Part PT-945.
Surface or depth?
A floating thermometer reads the surface, which is what feeding decisions care about. In deep ponds the bottom runs colder in spring and fall — if you want the temperature where the koi actually winter, the submersible thermometer reads at depth. Serious keepers run one of each.
The numbers that matter
Below about 50°F, stop feeding. 50–60°F, wheat germ only. Above 60°F, normal feeding resumes, and most treatments want 60°F+ to work. A ten-dollar thermometer is what makes all of those calls actual decisions instead of guesses.
Why buy from ChampKoi?
ChampKoi has kept koi through Bay Area winters since 1998. The feeding calendar on our wall starts with a thermometer, not a date.
