Feeding Worms to KOI.

[CliffandJoann]

We feed our koi worms. We made a worm farm in the dark back corner of our
yard. We feed them worms a few times a week. They have to be
hand fed the worms, because if we just toss them in the pond
the lightening fast Orfs will get the worms all
the time.

Anyone else feed worms?
It's a great source of protein, and the fish love them.
They will roll over to let you rub their tummies for worms. :fish2:

not as a staple food but as treats, yes.

Hi Koiguy, We feed our koi a lot, (they're always begging for food)
...a lot of fish food and a lot of worms.
The worms are a treat yes, but also a high boost in protein as well.

how about some pix or video?

 

[CliffandJoann]

Be careful what you ask for Koiguy...My fish will pose for me for hours on end. I have thousands of fish photos of them.

I have two favorite koi...This is terminator, she's 11 years old and the Mom to many of
our babies. Here she is posing in the beach area.

This is terminator with another Mom, named Silver...Silver is 11 years old as well.

This is Little Red Nose, he's the Pop to many of our babies. He's 11 years old.

Wow, nice video koiguy, No video here, I'll have to get on it next summer.

another shot of my second favorite koi, Little Red Nose.

This is our beach area, where we feed the fish, they are always in the beach,
looking for us.... the beach area is about 5 foot x 4 foot.

yeah.. i may try some video in the outdoor pond next year...but on a whim i put the camera in a ziploc sandwich bag and shot the one in the wintering pond.

 

[CliffandJoann]

Zipolock bag! Did you feel lucky that day? :fish2:
I have heard of people putting them in aquarium
tanks...however, never ziplock bags. Your
video is amazing anyhow!

[DrDave]

You have great photos!

 

[CliffandJoann]

Thanks, Koikeeper and doc Dave...
I love taking photos of my fish.
As a matter of fact, I carry pic's of my fish in my
purse, just in case someone asks, "how's your pond?"...
haaaaaa...

 

[koiguy1969]

I carry a thumb drive in my pocket that can hold up to 8 GB of video and pictures.
