HI.
IF YOU FEED THEM WITH RAW SHRIMPS, THE FISHY (MALANSANG) SLIM MIGHT CAUSE THE WATER FOULD ODOR.
IF YOU FEED THEM TOO MUCH DRIED SHRMPS THAT THE UNEATEN DRIED SHRIMPS REMAIN IN THE WATER, THEY WILL ROT AND CAUSE FOUL ODOR.
IF YOUR KOIS EAT THEM ALL, THEY WILL NOT CAUSE FOUL ODOR. WELL OF COURSE THE […]
feed them what they can consume in 5-10 minutes.. because feeding them too much can cause harm to koi’s as they dont have any stomachs, so digesting food is quite a problem with koi’s.
usually you just got to resist their baby like faces when they are requesting for food. they dont know whats best for […]
hi to all mark here.. i would just ask something about this topic… they said that feeding your koi with dried shrimps will make you water foul smelling very easily and will make you do water changes more frequently.. have you noticed this? or is there any truth to this?
more power to the koi keepers…
Not that it is ever good to lose a fish to disease but the Clown Loaches were not a suitable fish for your tanks anyhow. They grow to well over a foot long and should be kept in groups of five or more with three being a minimal amount. Because of this, they […]
As a snack, just one or two, depending on their size. As a meal, no more than the fish can eat in a couple of minutes… kind of like the general rule of fish feeding.

HI SOFIE,
When we feed kois, we tried to imitate what they would eat if they were in their natural habitat. Di ba? I think they would eat a variety of food they can find… not only alamang. Di ba?
While alamang is a good supplement, I think feeding them only with alamang is not sufficient even […]
Hi Sofia
First of all congrats to your new found hobby or way of killing time. I feed my koi’s dried shrimps too and it really enhances their color however I havent tried feeding them solely dried shrimp… I try to mix it up with tilapia feed (very cheap) dried shrimp and low quality koi pellets. […]
Thanks for the welcome …i got 12 orange/gold colored koi’s. How many times in a day do you feed them? and how much food is ideal? I got only pellets..are there alternatives?is dried shrimp the best? i read some stuff but I have to consider your inputs based on your experience guys
Thanks and […]
Good thing I read this… Sounds like I may be transferring the fry into my 55 gallon upstairs and the 125 gallon downstairs. I suppose it depends on if they don’t eat them, I’ll cross that bridge later. The LFS still has juvi angel’s in stock, about the size of a quarter, […]
HI JanY,
EARTHWORMS are good & nutritious for kois… just make sure you rinse them properly because bacteria in the soil may give them trouble later.
SUN enhances the color of your koi but TOO MUCH SUN will cause algae bloom and turn your water to solid green )
13 kois on 1,300 Gallons (for for me) […]
