High quality parents will however produce a higher percentage quality fry. You will have to decorate the aquarium so that there are suitable breeding areas present for the Koi fish.The materials selected to be used for spawning should be totally submerged and safe to the environment. There are many synthetic Koi breeding materials available in the market but most koi breeders prefer the natural ones.It is recommendable to put nets on top of your breeding pond if you breed your Koi outdoors to protect them from predators. Koi fishes sometimes like to jump and netting prevents them from jumping out of the pond so it is advisable to use nets.
The pH level in the tank is not that important in koi breeding .The good Koi breeding pond should have a round shape and around 1,000 gallons / 3800 L of fresh and chlore-free water. The water if Chlorated must be treated with Clorox or another equivalent to remove the chlore before being used to breed koi.The water should be kept standing for three days before adding fish. The water should be aerated using some strong water pumps. A strong current or splashing waterfall adds to the aeration but can have a damaging effect on the spawning.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a wondrous one. I hope that this blog will encourage everyone to have their own koi fishes.
ReplyDeleteWhat would happen if I put the koi in after only having the tank set up and ready to go for around 24 hours? I'm not really planning on breeding them, but would it kill them or anything if I put them in sooner than three days? I plan on buying two.
ReplyDeletei have two Koi fish in my tank with some other gold fish, i was not aware that they were koi, i have had them for about a year now all of them swiming around in the same tank then i noticed the one is getting rather large and realised it is a koi fish. but now in the last 3days he/she has eaten one of my gold fish and started on it's 2nd one when i saw it i took the half eaten gold fish out. what do i do, i live in a flat with no garden so i can't have a pond the size tank i have is 100lt.
