Good luck with the fry hope all goes as planned boiled egg yolk is a great starter food a little goes a long way you can keep it frozen and defrost as needed
I didn’t... seems the pond water I used had enough nutrients to kick start the process... but I too have heard they use manure in the larger mud ponds to kick start things 🐟
Hi, i just notice some koi owner cutting their koi pattern, maybe you can just search in youtube about "cutting koi" They do that in some place to get champion in their local contest I just need to ask for you, can you explain and make us know how to differentiate natural koi pattern and cutting koi pattern? Thankyou
I just found an empty cooler that I cleaned out that’s I’m using to store the eggs currently. When they hatch how long should I keep them in the cooler?
It can be hard to keep the eggs in a small container as the temperatures are often unstable and it can get polluted very quickly. If you can move them to an algae filled growing tank/pool they will have a better chance.
Very informative my friend.
Fascinating stuff well done 👌👍
Those are beautiful nobody near me has anything like that

Great Video. I've just discovered it so here's a new Sub
Hello from your new sub. love koi =)
Intex makes a 4’x4’x1’ frame kids pool that I’ve used as a quarantine pool and it has worked like a charm.
Lovely looking koi stunning fish stunning pond 👍🏻would love to purchase some 2-3 or 3-4 inch babies from yourself if possible ?
Gorgeous fish
Nicely done Sir.
How's going about your koi fry now? Can't wait to see them .haha
Wow nice set up idol.
Love the video mate.. don't You have to do a large water change right away the spawn cloud and underutilized eggs will ruin the water.
What do you use a fertiliser mate and do you "feed" the green water? I've heard chicken / rabbit poop works great and just add water?

What kind of net is that white net attached to the PVC ? I need to find some of that. Just had some fry hatch.
Apologies for the slow reply… Norfine Nets make a great selection of fry nets
hi, when do you introduce your fry to the big pond with the big koi.
Once they get to about 4 inches they seem pretty safe even from the much larger fish.
Get the salt level up on the fry tank.
Koi are much more gentle than Goldfish they are crazed when mating
What time of the year do koi breed in the uk
Depending on the weather, it can be anytime from May to August.
