If my female koi becomes sexually mature late in the summer, will she release eggs at that time? I have a very large deep pond.

Hi,
I posted a message a few days ago regarding how spooked my fish were. My only explanation was that our visiting wild turkey was drinking from the pond and scared the fish. This morning, for the first time in a week, the fish are behaving normally. They are swimming near the top […]

HI Everyone, Im a new member to your group with a few questions. I have 8 Koi, all are about 6 years old, and it is time to upgrade to a newer, bigger pond, and in my new “garden”. Ideally, Id like a pond to be about 10×8 or 8×8, and 5 feet deep. Im […]

All,
I have a 14″ platinum koi which has one scale raised by a raw pink area or a growth I’m not sure. I haven’t pulled her out of the water yet to have a close look. Her general health so far seems unaffected.
I’m trying to get an idea of what the […]

We have a small pond and I would really like to get some koi fish to put in it. The reason why I haven’t gotten any is because the gold fish (comets) that I put in the pond tend to die. They have tested the water at the pet store and they say […]
