koi

Hello, new member here from Phoenix. I used to keep aquariums, but recently gave it up because I was spending much more time around the backyard koi pond. Seems I just couldn't stay away! I keep a 275-gallon IBC tote isolated from the pond, with its own filtration, to use as a quarantine tank...

My koi fry have reached the age and size where they are able to be moved to my mud pond with a capacity of around 50,000 litres (is this able to hold 10-15 full-grown koi? No filtration, but planted with lillies and other plants and frequent rainfall with an average of around 200ml/month)...

hello, my dad pointed out to me that his koi is swimming upside down, and i noticed it has swim bladder. I have fed him some peas and added in some pond bacteria medication, but is there anything else I can do for it? All help is appreciated as I'm new to swim bladder issues and definitely ill...

I've had this koi for around 5 months now (surprisingly) in a 10 gallon tank. If you didn't know already, I've actually been trying to find a new place to rehome the koi because I knew it would grow too large for the tank size.. This christmas, my uncle surprised me with some fish (and while I'm...

Not sure if my betta has fin rot or if it’s black coloring? He has the black coloring on his gills too, so I’m not sure if it is coloring or rot of some kind. Would love to know your opinions! I have 5 ghost shrimp (they get along very well) with him in his tank, so I’ll have to either be very...

My baby loves to feed our kois Hi guys, happy weekend, just sharing my baby girl feeding our kois

Recently my husband decided he wanted to start a North American Native tank & we have received 5 young (probably 1 week - 4 week old) Green Sunfish. In attempt to have 1 less tank in the house (yeah..right.  ) We decided to add our shubunkin koi to the tank (5)  because we had heard of people...

My husband and I would like to go down to the river and collect some large rocks to build in our shubunkin koi & comet gold tanks. We put one in our tank yesterday and the fish seem fine, we scrubbed it really good and let it soak in boiling water for over an hour before we put it in.    Has...

SUPER excited! My husband and I just set up a 20 gallon tank for some juvenile Comet goldfish & Shubunkin Koi (once they are larger we will move them to our pond) This is our fish experience with Koi, and we have little experience with fancy goldfish. We already love them so much! They are all...

Hello all,   I am making a pond in my back yard. It will be a circular, with a ten foot diameter. 6 feet deep at the bottom. It will be roughly 3,000 gallons, probably a little less. (2,800 gallons maybe). I was wondering if I could put 7 koi in this pond, with their adult size considered when...

Look at my lucky find this past weekend! I hope he doesn't change color :)

I have had this koi fish for over a year now and he always does these "rolls" but I couldn't seem to capture him doing them until today and I'm just wondering if this is normal because I haven't seen any other fish on the Internet do this kind of it.
