In October we had a pond put in our yard. I love it. I wish I had more time to enjoy it before it closed. We have 3 Koi in it..2 large, 1 small. We stopped feeding a month ago. I sometimes see the 2 down the bottom. They are looking smaller to me. Do they lose weight during this time?

they do lose weight during the winter, but not that quickly. If they went into their winter fast at a healthy weight, they may only be a tiny bit thinner looking in the spring. The exception to this is if they absorbed their eggs. That will make their abdominal area look noticeably slimmer.
