Koi Kichi

[Dragon Fish]

Hi there,

just out of curiousity, anyone goldfish lover here also keep koi. Koi belongs to the carp family which was said to be the ancestor of all goldfish today.

saw a commercial buy/sell thread whereby a owner wishes to give out 13 pieces of koi.

Just felt like taking up this hobby.

Any expert there care to share about koi care ???

Cheers,
Dragon Fish

You will need much more space for koi than aro. Cannot keep koi in tanks but in ponds only. If you live in appartment, better not keep.

Koi should have at least 1 tonne of water per fish, ideally 10 tonnes per fish, though.

Koi, depending on bloodline, grow from 60cm to 100+cm, which takes a few years to grow to full potential.

Koi are suitable for large ponds only.
