- Why do Koi Grow so Quick in a Natural Mud Pond?
What's up guys and welcome back to a brand new episode here at The Koi Partner.
Last year I made a number of episodes about breeding and growing big Koi who came from the mud Ponds. If you click on the link at the end of this video you can watch those after this video where I explain why Koi grow so fast in a mud pond in Japan.
So in this episode I explain why Koi grow so fast in a natural mud pond and why Koi breeders let their koi grow in these mud ponds during the spring, summer and autumn. I show you different footage from Koi breeders how they do it in Japan.
Before a koi can reach this size and will be a official Jumbo Koi, the Koi stay in the mud pond for some seasons. Starting from the age of one.
So let’s start from the beginning.
During spring and summer temperatures in Niigata prefecture rise very high up to 107 degrees Fahrenheit. Niigate prefecture is a mountainous area in western Japan and gets meters of snow during the winter periods. Two extreme weather conditions that the koi breeders have to deal with.
But its a ideal combination for growing Koi, let me explain why:
It is now winter in Japan. Breeders are selling there tosai. Also called one year old koi to their customers form all around the world. During the cold winters breeders can do little work outside. This area in Japan can get up to 5 meters of snow during a good winter. Most of the work must be done inside the greenhouses.
Inside the koi breeders are preparing for spring. Also the start of a new koi season. During the months April and may the meters of snow are melting. This is one of the key elements of a good working mud pond: fresh meltwater. All the mud ponds are filled up with fresh meltwater.
During the spring and at the beginning of the summer, the sun warms up the meltwater in the mud ponds. This is the time to release all the koi.
First all young koi because they can better withstand temperature rises and falls. The nights can still be chilly and the days quite warm.
The fish are released into the mud ponds in sequence over a period of 1.5 months. The biggest fish go last.
During the months in the mud pond, koi grow extremely quickly. But what is the reason? Well, there are several reasons. First of all the climate, the summers in this area are warm and humid. During the months of August and September there is a lot of rain, which is also good for the water level in the mud ponds.
The high temperature is one of the factors that ensures rapid growth.
Second: the composition of the mud. The mud ponds consist mainly of clay. One of the most nutrient-rich clays in Japan. Minerals and vitamins are incorporated into the soil. But this also attracts other animals such as small lobsters, frogs and other protein-rich food for the koi. Like in nature.
Third: Koi food! Koi breeders feed extra high-quality koi food into the mud ponds. This provides extra nutrition and growth for the fish.
Not every fish is allowed to grow up in the mud pond. Breeders determine in advance which fish are good enough, and worthwhile, to swim in the mud pond.
October is the moment that the growers are working towards. Harvest season!
Importers, dealers and traders come to Japan from all over the world to view and buy the harvested fish. A whole happening where it is quite a party to see the Koi of very high quality at their very very best.
Koi Breeders have little time, which means there is no room for mistakes. The harvests should preferably go well the first time.
After harvesting, the fish are inspected and measured. This involves the growers' decades of experience. The same experience that the breeders use when caring for the fish in the mud ponds.

Love your respect for the breeders by giving us that ASMR experience on the video.
The arial shot of the koi swimming in the mud pond make them look even cuter than usual!
Aaah thank you!
What extremes in weather! Thank you for going into the factors that make the koi grow so big in the mud ponds!
Thanks for watching and reaching out mate
Absolutely stunning jumbo koi. The size and colours are nothing short of spectacular. I'm very impressed at the ease of which the breeders can pick up and move koi of that size so easily. Must take years of practice. 👍🏻 I would love to see some the filtration systems and how they work that the breeders use in their fish houses.
Thanks mate
❤❤❤ I’ll be showing the kids this video for sure buddy! 👍
Thnx buddy! 🫶
I love the two big tancho
Great information loved the video!
Glad you enjoyed it mate! 🫶
I hope some day to be able to see this in person 🤞🏼
Thanks Austin!
I love betta❤😊
Amazing👍👍 🐠🐋🐟🐠🐋🐟🐠🐋🐟
When you will go to Japan plz make videos of breeders selecting koi
Yes, I leave for Japan in 4 weeks from today
Nice video
Amazing Koi ! I wonder how they keep the Koi healthy in the mud ponds . An infection might be fatal .
Hi buddy! Good question 🙋🏻♂️ they inspect the fish daily but it’s easier to keep koi health in a natural environment that a closed pond system. Koi have great immune system, after being harvest they always get a 24-48 hour treatment for parasites.
Do the koi benefit from the mud ponds if they get sick then put into the mud ponds?
No disrespect, but are you saying the koi ponds are filled with ‘melt water’ from the snow? Thanks
Correct
Thank you!
I really enjoyed the video but I'm confused on one point. You said that the extremes in weather and temperature help to grow the koi very large. But then you seem to indicate that they take them indoors for the winter, because you said that they release them into the ponds in the spring starting with the smallest ones and getting up to the biggest ones. Do they leave the koi in the mud ponds the full calendar year?
Hello, I got a couple of questions if you don't mind, looking into getting a koi pool pond around 1100 gallons.
What do you think of this setup,
1100gallon pool
oase filtoclear 5200 filter
Aqua max eco classic 2700 pump
Air max pond air 4 aeration kit
some 2' kingfree tubing
Colombo aqua test lab.
Also do you think the aqua max eco classic 2700 pump is too much for a 1100 gallon pond with the filtoclear filter?
Planning on getting around 5 young koi to begin with.
Finally, What products should I get to put on my filter media to eliminate nitrate and emmonia levels?
One question plz answer:why do breeders always rotate there fishes while putting them in tubs?
Good question: it makes them a bit dizzy. This gives the breeder the chance to pick up to koi nice and easily
❤❤
If a koi is sick will the mud ponds make them healthy if they then are put into it?
The chance of a koi getting sick in the Mudpond is very minimal. If fish are not doing well, the breeder will catch it and treat it.
@@TheKoiPartnerBut would the mud pond help if they are sick like parasites?
Hello I’m Edison really love koi’s I had watching most of your videos , I don’t know anything about the koi farm dealer in Japan , soon I will buy the fish with the certificate is Yoshino koi farm, and I just want to making sure that I buy the right one from Japanese dealer, can u please help me thanks
Thank you 🙏 I don’t know Yoshino… I am sorry
3:15 So, basically, they dump koi food into the ponds. lol Got it.
Yes, as a addition. But it’s a balanced diet they get on their natural supply of food
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
👍👍👍🙏
Why don’t birds of prey eat the koi in the mud ponds?
Well, that’s actually a good question ;) let me see if I can make a video about that
Many contradictions on the nutrients and minerals in the Japanese clay/soil. You sure about that?
🎏🎎🇧🇷🇯🇵
