Green aquarium water is not considered dangerous to fish. In fact, many fish happily live in green-colored water in their natural environment. The same goes for plants. While the algae that makes up green aquarium water feeds on many of the same nutrients that your plants do, it shouldn't cause any direct harm.
Make sure that you provide plenty of aeration for your koi fry and this is especially true in the summer when warmer water temps mean less oxygen carrying capacity of water. Some other foods that you can feed are frozen brine shrimp, growing live brine shimp in your containment tank or main pond and freeze-dried krill.
Start off with either a liquid food made of brine shrimp or daphnia or a fry powder made from crushing up regular koi food with a mortar and pestle. Do not feed more than what can be consumed within 5 minutes to prevent polluting the water. As they grow, make the food source larger to grow their stomach size.

Thanks for Watching!
I love the lilly pads! Also, chickens are the best.
We used a tad too much chicken poop though 🤣🤣
Hi there love your videos need a bit of help when do I put a filter in with my hatch koi
Cheers mate really means a lot, you need to seperate out your pump in a fine mesh bag so the fry can not get in
@@TheBaldingReefer so green water and the pump on it with the fine mesh bag
Sorry for all the questions
Very informative as always, pity about the ammonia but I am sure you will have it sorted quickly
Trying to build a bubbler system with carbon to reduce down the ammonia, will keep you posted
Great vid lads.. Free food is the best 😄
Never thought I would see the day when reefer and Mr Roche were smiling whilst shaking up their chicken 💩 😆😆 sorry. Great vid as ever. Super helpful for us accidental spawners 😉👍🦆
How is your spawn getting along mate?
@@TheBaldingReefer not sure at this stage, quite a lot of white dead eggs but I think still some doing okay. Could start hatching anytime from tomorrow. Fingers crossed 😉
Yes mateeeeee
Great tips mate, well done guys
Cheers Tony mate
there gonna grow nice and fast in that water great video
Cheers gazza
@@TheBaldingReefer any time mate
Zeolite is 👌 for ammonia. Happy Ponding. 👍
Will have to give that a whirl!
@@TheBaldingReefer Many koi dealers/ outlets use when dealing with high ammonia and just an example that you can find on youtube (The 🇯🇵 water Garden). 👍
I actually have a bag of zeolite, but I've never used it, will give that channel a watch! Thanks bro!
Can you use the chicken muck pellets for the garden ?
You can indeed Steven!
1.62 now bro 😮
Flying mate! When we sorting this beer out!
@@TheBaldingReefer when ever your ready bro
That's mad, I'll be honest I didn't know how to purposely get green water haha
Everyday is a school day!
@@TheBaldingReefer bloody is mate. Cracking video once again
Legend mate
Nice and green now.. Ammonia yikes... Too much fertilizer??
You reckon that's what it could be?
@@TheBaldingReefer I have a friend who used chicken manure to culture fry ponds.. It turned water green and lots of food for fry but really had to watch the ammonia at the beginning.. Once it cycled more it was fine
How did he help cycle it mate?
@@TheBaldingReefer
Lots of oxygen and sponge filters with activated carbon.. Right up your alley.. Wouldnt hurt to toss in a couple water plants to help it that much more..
@@TheBaldingReefer plus gives the fry more places to hide from tobies and dragonfly nymphs etc
