Your koi sometimes slurp loudly when they eat. What do you do to correct this impolite behavior? LOL I think you have very pretty fish and you have given out some very good and correct information on your video.
You're in for a trouble ! I started like you with a 3 or a 4 foot tank - then got a 6footer - and the buggers just kept growing ! It was not possible to have any plants in the tank as they will chew it up. So - start digging - now have a 9m by 2m (app 27 feet by 7 or so feet) pond - about 4 feet deep - the koi loves it BUT the winter just started and the temperature dropped to like 10C - so I found a pond heater (Titan - 1000W) and that keep the water at about 15-16C - fish is happily swimming and eating. Freeze dried shrimp (for human consumption) is the favorite - but boiled rice and some vegetables are also consumed - but the shrimp is number 1 ! Good Luck
In the meantime do minor 10-15% water changes everyday. That will help with your fish and feed very sparingly as the ammonia and nitrite spikes as a result will be too high for the fish tolerate.
I buy bags of freeze dried mealy worms at home depot / walmart / etc. You get a big bag of it for about $8US. The fish love it. and since it's freeze dried, you can crumble it in your fingers or smaller fish.
I have a koi that even tries to eat other fish and seems to be larger by the day. He has already killed a chinese hi fin shark, a smaller pleco (algae eater) and almost killed another smaller koi which I ended up moving to another tank. He pretty much eats anything and i feed the pleco zuccini, cucumber, wafers ect which if he doesn't get to fast enough the koi devours it. You have a some beautiful fish and they seem to be way more docile than the koi I have. Thanks for the video!
"Showa" are a black base with red,and white markings. "Sanke" are the reverse with white base and black and red markings. In both cases there is three colours. Orange circle on their heads are called "tancho".
Which food to give during winters in pond?This is their first year and they are mostly staying deep. I gave them floating food but they don’t come up to eat from one week. Should I stop feeding them?
Initially use black carbon in your filter. That will polish the water and clear it up. After that you can take it out as over time it actually leeches out. HOB filters are not as effective as external canister filters and I tend to change my water every week even though every other day is very good. I have used Uv before but now find it overrated as regular water changes will do exactly the same thing and is more necessary than the UV expense.
Sorry about the late reply. Female koi when mature are plump and round as they need to carry the eggs. The males will tend to be slimmer compared to females. Also the males(when sexually mature) will have gills that are not smooth but little dots on them when in season. They might look roughish and only comes about during breeding season. However that may be hard in a pond to distinguish as you are looking from above. Also there are subtle difference on fins as wells.
It seems that you know a lot about your kois. Good info on the dieting and reduction of high protein rich food during winter, even so I am concerned about one of your kois. He seems to be getting potbellied.
Are there any plants I can put in the tank that Kois eat? I get tired of having to feed them everyday and wonder if there are any ways to keep them fed without having to get up in the morning or having my Careless cousin feed them
Everyone including experts really has different opinions on the amount of koi for a large tank with alot of grey areas. I would say about 500 litres at least for one koi up to 30-45cm. After that you may need to upgrade again.However as long as they naturally in the tank is the main concern.
Heyo! My koi won’t eat! Is there something I need to do? It has only been a day since I’ve gotten it and it keeps spitting out the food! Does it just need more time or do I have to get new food?? I currently use those small sticks type of food
If Koi are starved enough they will eat any almost any living aquarium plant. When mine are hungry they eat java fern and ludwigia when i dont feed them. There are also automatic mechanical feeders you can buy from the aquarium shops that drops specific doses of food to the tank. However personal feeding I feel is best so they can get used to your presence and you can see any changes in their behaviour and assess them.
U seem to know alot about koi im trying to grow mine on for decent size oh and I feed them once a day all year round should I stop feeding them or reduce the feed during when u said
I've been wondering if koi are ok eating parasite larve? I've got a couple young ones getting adjusted to my water but soon I want to add them to a natural pond. Theres no alge growing in it (it's maintained that way) but loads of bugs fall in or breed in it. I'm thinking of using lettuce, cucumber or broccoli as green supplement. Any tips for them?
for a 7ft foot 260 gallon aquarium will the be big enough for adult koi? I'm building a very large tank, and making sure the fish are healthy and have plenty of room to swim. and a few questions i was orginally going to get two koi but read through your comments stating the more koi, the more they will control their growth so what would be an ideal amount of koi to get? thanks ! :)
Also as your setup seems fairly new it will take a while before some mulm builds up in the filter. That mulm will actually trap the small particles and eventually clear the water. Good quality carbon will have a more immediate effect.
This was without doubt the most helpful koi video or page that I have found! Thank you so much. I am overwintering 4 koi in 55 gal. tank, and am struggling to get clear water (yours is beautiful.) I do 15-20 % water change every other day and is still cloudy. Have added plants to help but see no difference. Have a hang-on back filter, 2 under gravel filters (don't see how their usefulness) and a Fluval U4. Tank set up for a month and Fluval for abt. 3 week. How do get water so clear? UV?
I wish you luck with them! I would love to have them back in my pond, but being near the river, raccoons were a fact of life. And they're only cute in Disney movies! @@sure.bol.999
I know this sounds weird but it happened, when i was little i went on vacation to hawaii and long story short i put my hand in the little pond and the koi was literally letting me touch it, in the video it says they recognize u as the provider is that why?
Good day sir, I have 4 baby butterfly koi's I feed them the Laguna brand small pellets, sometimes they swallow it and spit it out, does that mean the pellets are off/ bad etc. Pls. help. ??? How often should we feed them at that age, my objective is to grow them as big and colourful and quickly as possible. ??? They are indoors in a large indoor pond and I don't have a problem with filtration etc.
my koi does not eat and his tank mates are a fintail goldfish a a normal goldfish. the tank is 3 gallons. what should i do? please tell me what i should do
I've been having trouble my pond put a new biological filter in it's been so hot I had more trouble this year than ever I'm having trouble keeping my pond clean tried a lot of things I just like to know what else can I do to make it clear
I don't know what "mulm" is. When I rinse the filters, I rinse them in a bucket of water that I have taken from the tank so as not to disturb the bacteria. Should I not be doing this? There's plenty of brown gunk that comes out. I ordered and received a canister filter, but had to send it back since I have no place LOW enough under the aquarium and have sent for a HOB filter instead. But one that is rated for a 90 gallon tank (mine is 55). Thank you so much for your helpful comments.
Mulm is basically a build up of that "brown gunk". Yes - using same water from the tank will help minimise killing the bacteria. I find HOBs good as I have used them before but most hobs do not carry enough filter media in their compartments to evenly trap the mulm inturn trap minute particles effectively for their rated size. They are still good at harbouring nitrifying bacteria. You may have to resort to usuing carbon in the HOB filter until your water clears.
Madness358 So should I be leaving the "brown gunk" in the filters when I rinse them? I have been mucking it out, up to now. I do have some carbon sheets that I can cut to fit to add to the filter. Your water is SO crystal clear, and I am changing about 1/3 of mine every other day or every third day, and it is somewhat cloudy :-(
They are omnivores meaning they eat meat and plants. It is normal for koi to eat live plants. I feed my koi live plants also which I grow in a separate tank.
My kois aren't coming to the surface when I'm giving food as a result it's consumed by other fishes very fast.. What should I feed them that they like??
Good day sir, I am, a koi keeper, would it be ok to put a "Pleco fish", (cat fish looking type of fish/ bottom dwellers), with the koi's in a pond or aquarium, cause I had heard that they eat fish poop, so in a way it helps to control waste in an aquarium/ pond etc. Like some fish keepers say. ???
I was planning to get one aswell ( also koi owner ) but the koi vet I go to said the pleco's are also high waste producers ( they also poop a lot ) so it isn't really recommended. But if you want to you could try
I have goldfish that are closer to their ancestors than the modern type of goldfish. They’re kind of koi but haven’t had the opportunity to grow as their tank is small. Also I notice that koi are notorious beggers, employing whetever strategies to manipulate their owners into giving food. Also they don’t like clear water. They like their water tinted green, with a good helping of free-floating plant leftovers, algae and some beige things.
hey madness I have a question , why would my koi fish try to swallow my little gold (color) fish? is it because it's a different fish or is the koi wanting to kill/eat it?
Large koi will always try to eat smaller fish. Best practice is to separate them. Keeping the larger fish well fed will help Most koi will constantly forage due to their large appetites especially at higher temperatures, this means they will eat smaller fish opportunistically as well.
Madness358 thanks that really helped because when the little fish was in the koi mouth, we pulled it out and it's jaw was partially ruined and it's tail was kind of ripped I think it might die.
Hey ik this is late an no one is goin to see this but. I would like to get a koi fish for my 15th bday since my parents wont let me have any other animals? If i was to get one of these fishes. Where could i get a good price for them. And i live in a yown house so i couldnt use a pond only a tank. And can i have just one or 2 would be best thanks
pramod moudgalya Koi may eat it if it feels hungry enough but its best not to as not only it is morally cruel to the fish but may also bring associated disease to the koi. Koi are omnivores and there is large variety of foods that it can accept anyway so there shouldn't be any reason to be feeding live feeders.
+Madness358 IT IS KOI NOT KOIS .KOI IS JAPANESE FOR CARP 1 DON'T KEEP KOI IN A TANK THEY WILL OUT GROW IT WITH IN MONTHS THEY CAN GROW OVER 1 METRE IN SIZE SO YOU NEED A BIG POND. 2 DON'T FEED THEM LIVE FISH AS IN THE WILD THEY DON'T TEND TO EAT OTHER FISH.
Thanks for the comments. I hope your all your koi grow large and healthy. Plain yellow are called ogon and orange/black markings on a white base are generally called sanke. However without seeing them I can not be too sure.
I hope you don't mind me saying this but most of your kois have dropped bellies meaning you're over feeding them but nontheless you have a great bunch of kois.
I dont mind at all. I always question how things are as well. However I can assure you the koi are not over fed as they get fasted once a week. One may have obviously large belly but that is mainly because she is almost primed to spawn. You can watch the spawning on my channel.
Koi and goldfish dont have stomaches. This is perfectly normal during or just after feeding. All if my koi (pedigree Japanese koi) look like this every day after feeding, and go back to looking normal after a few hours.
Very informative! Thank you! And no annoying music, no frilly intros. Straight to the point. Super.
I can see that not only my koï fish eats like a pig

I started like you with a 3 or a 4 foot tank - then got a 6footer - and the buggers just kept growing !
It was not possible to have any plants in the tank as they will chew it up.

Freeze dried shrimp (for human consumption) is the favorite - but boiled rice and some vegetables are also consumed - but the shrimp is number 1 !
Good Luck
just keep getting bigger tanks till you get to the stage of needing a pond. simple stuff really
Correct me if I'm wrong but I once heard that they grow according to the place they live, of course there is a limit, but I think they do.
@@shod5507fish will keep growing, if the tanks too small it hinders their quality of life and can lead to its death
@@MaceGaming53 or it will make them stunted but what you said is also true

Such amazing fish! I hope to have a koi tank or pond one day! Subbed!
i have a koi that seems aggressive when eating and it always moves the gravel to the left side of the tank
its just trying to sift for food in the gravel. and they usually dont have much agression in them lmfao
Well my fish seem very agressive when they’re sifting gravel ~ they suck up 1 or 2 gravel like a vaccuum and then spit out the gravel at Mach 10.
Yes temperature has a real effect on their metabolism however you should also do more research according to your own circumstances as well.
Absolutely beautiful😃
the orange white and black colours combined are called "sanke", the yellow is "ogon" an the red/white is "kohaku nidan"
