It is a beautiful fish,but if he's a koi and as old as you say, then he is severely stunted.I have a koi that is only 4-5 months and is already almost 10 inches long.(I also bought for 5-6 dollars at local pet store)And mine is already Way to big for a 20 gallon tank. It is recommended to give koi's 1000 gallons per fish to allow them the room to reach their potential.Only you know your capabilities,but I bet he would be an awesome fish if he was allowed to grow naturally.
My mother bought me a 10cent feeder 4cm gold fish when I was 8yrs old. She just wanted me to have an easy pet that she was told wouldn't out grow a 1 gal. tank. Ten yrs, 10 inches, another gold fish, and a 55 gallon tank later she may have regretted that purchase. I love fish!
get a new tank please? I know money is an issue but I would not eat for a day to get that pretty guy a new tank. And maybe feed it less, I had koi for a year, grew only 2 inches. (im a cheapo-don't feed them enough food lol). cya
@nicholasbhicks According to their history they are a mix of wild Indonesian longfin river carp and traditional Koi carp, that were interbred during the 1980's, both in the the States and Japan. For the possibilities of profit and increase Koi's hardiness lost due to decades of inbreeding. SOURCE: koivillage
Its only a 20 gal. tank. I didn't expect him to live, let alone grow as fast as he did. But I absolutely need a bigger tank. Money is tight right now, so he will have to suffer for a little bit. Anyone In AZ. near 85143 that could donate or have a smoking deal, let me know.
@LeakyDiaper You got a beautiful koi there. I keep koi too, but yours is a beauty. I've never had a butterfly koi. Good luck in finding a bigger tank. :)
awww hes a stunner ill give you that. but may i say without getting on at you becouse im not lol but i think he could to with a bigger tank he looks really happy and healthy but he will be even more happyer and healthy if you get a bigger tank honist. like i say im not getting on at you like most people do on youtube about tank size ect. im just giveing you some edvice. hes a real sweety lol. have a look at mine i have a couple of fancy fish and a blue doitsu koi and a butterfly ghost koi
