Hey DSK, they are put in salt water for only about 30 seconds, after harvest, and this is to remove any parasites and things such as costia that can cause them problems in the transition from grow-out ponds to filtered ponds.

why do u put them in salt water anyway when they are fresh water fish? O.o

[peachey2021]

ok so if i have a natural pond that has been there for years and was crated naturally by nature, could i put my koi fish in it? instead of putting them in a preformed pond??

please let me know. thanks in advance!

[free2rock85]

do you feed them extra foods beside natural foods?

[Exshinrasoldier]

what kind of feed do you feed the fry? they grow soo fast!!

[plankton009]

@plankton009

[stvnivan]

[MortenFS95]

[ninekoi]

HI,  NICE KOI !!!!!

[1yeng8]

I buy one from a tropical fish store in 10 inches and I got it for 2 year but it grow 2 more inches. Can any one tell me why

[crock703]

tank/pond too small probably. Everything grows to suit its environment - little fish/big pond = danger (big incentive to grow fast or be eaten)

little fish/little pond = not too much danger, they live comfortably so they don't need to grow.

[stevengotama]

Or....bad genes!

[1yeng8]

Why the water is muddy Does it kill the koi

How long are they when They're 3 week old

Can anyone let me know

[jairus1230]

Its because they grow fast in mud pond than a tank.

[fijitec]

grtz Bas

[nightraider121]

Wow... i love those koi... the colors and different varieties... i keep one of these in a big tank and for 7 years i watched it grow, it's still just over 35cm long!!! Why isn't it growing?

[Elfguy123]

it's problay because the tank is not big enough to allow the fish to grow large and live easily

[nightraider121]

I see... the thing is that I was gonna dig a pond for it but there wasn't much room... I think it would be better suited in a lake. But it's illegal to release the fish even though it's a good thing...

[Elfguy123]

u can get a small pond bathtub size it should help

[hoi1987]

it's not so much the pond size but the bloodline of the koi that do the trick I now a friend that got a small pond with a 53 cm large kohaku(bought it 10 cm large) he also heat the pond in the winter so he can feed them in the winter. grt Bas

[n2kois]

I love your Kois. Almost like their bred from Niigata. Just like Hosokai and Torazo.

[koimen]

Very nice KOI brilliant colors and nice body shapes

Well done !

[Bapesta916]

Don't birds try to fly and eat them?, also where was Koi fish originally found?..like what river or whatever.

[nightraider121]

Koi fish were found like their wild cousins, all greyish and dull, hundreds of years back in China, they are then perfected with all the different varieties and colors in Japan.

[Bapesta916]

Yes I'm aware of their original colors..but I mean who woulda thought carps to turn out so beautiful. It's like saying I'ma go take in bass and turn them beautiful. Just curious of the color development and if there are natural rivers full of beautiful koi and how it was very first discovered...hard to explain but yea ahaha

[hmongboi11]

nice koi u got there..

[Gamecollector1985]

Excellent koi :D
