how fast to koi fry grow, from 1" onward? found a site that sells koi fry 1" for £0.46 each, with a minimum order of only 20. was going to buy some fry and put them in my minnow pond to grow on and sell to my local watergarden centre.
fishin4cars said:Most breeders get there koi to 4"-5" in the first year and then sell. In some cases you can see more growth and in some less but this is about a good average for 1 year old Koi fry. Beware, 1" fry don't ship well, they are still very fragile at this size. I wouldn't buy online at that size, buying from someone local and moving them I might consider but shipping them I feel like they are really still to small.

One thing you really need to try and do is match the water parameters as close as possible to the pond they are coming from to yours, fry are very easily stressed to new water, aged water and stable water conditions are very important, Good luck! It's a very rewarding challange, You'll get to see the color develope and get some good experience trying this.
