Personally I would never encourage them as they can get injured in the spawning, and the water quality goes to hell. If you must, then in the spring do a...

Hello, I have a relatively new pond. About 6 weeks ago I introduced 6 - 4" koi that I purchased from a local wtaer garden shop. I feed them regularly. The...
... What kind of pond do you have, and what are the ages of your fish? Usually the problem is in the water quality. Higher alkaline is best, if it's a man...
I have two koi, Captain (blue) and Tenille (yellow), in my 55 gallon goldfish aquarium and they are very healthy and happy. I've had them for about 2 years now...

NEW MEMBER! Hi all I was hoping you can tell me how to stop my fish from spawning I have a 600 gal pond and too many goldfish/koi mix about 40. Soon some will...
hello.. I had 4 sets of koi & goldfish hatched this summer .. it's my first time for babies ..& I couldn't be happier .. thanks for the invite.. I appreciate...
Hi, The strange part about that is that Koi and Goldfish/Comets don't usually interbreed, in a controlled environment. Or at least I havent heard of it. ...
A 55 gal aquarium seems very small for a fish that grows over 36 inches when mature. And, hate to disagree with you on compatibility issues, but I have had...
I agree with Trinity3ddt, the conditions have to be just right for your koi to breed. also depending on the age and size of ur Koi sexing can be difficult....
Koi are bred to be appreciated from above. When I had a camera in the pond, I found it almost impossible to tell which fish it was I was seeing from the side....

heyJoe, i am sorry about ur Koi, yes they are expensive to lose. my advice is first off, test the water quality, hot weather isnt enough to turn the water...
A 55 gallon aquarium is not "very small". I have two koi, and I doubt that since I have kept them in the 55 gallon aquarium since I got them, from when they...

Hi, Darren, Thank you for agreeing with me......... Koi sexes are easy to identify if they are at a very early age. The females are more of a football shape,...
Hi Joe, There's a problem someplace most likely. And yes, you need to take care of your pond just as if it was a aquarium. You need to keep a eye on the water...
Monday we purchased 3 Koi fingerlings. Our 29gal. tank's water was stable with a ph of 7.2 . When we got the Koi home, we saw that one of them had the upper...
Koi are totally compatible with lots of fish. The problems start when they get parasites or get sich, as some koi treatments kill other fish bil ... when ... ...

Hi my name is Sacha and I live in NYC. I have a question about one of my koi's. Today I found one upside down breathing and all. From its gential there was...
I have to disagree as well, a 55 gal aquarium is WAY to small for koi. The myth of fish growing to their environment is just that - a myth. Why this myth...
Hi Molly, A partial water change, about every 3rd to 4th day, should help. Be sure to treat the fresh water with Stress Coat and Stress Zyme, before adding...
Hi Sacha, I am so sorry to hear that. If it's a female, it could be that the males (if any) got too rough trying to get her to release her eggs, and beat her...
Hi Sacha, It helps if you can provide the water parameters, Ie: Ph,kh, gh, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and salt levels, size of pond/tank, how many fish. You...
True they can grow to over 36", but, fish grow to there environment, so at best those in aquariums will not develope to there full potential. There's a big...
Hi Patsy, Use pond shade. It will turn your water a deep blue, which blocks photosynthesis, and breaks down the algae. Works will in my natural mud pond, and...

Hi and Thanks for the Responses. Unfortunately, the koi died. I figured it would. All other fishes are fineI think that she was roughed up and gained some...
Hello Jo-Ann, One question before I rush out ( as usual) to buy some pond shade...can you still see your fish clearly? I love to sit and watch them play! ...
