Need a bigger pond.........

[Willo]

How much fun can you have with a crust of bread.....!! Think im going to need a bigger pond if these fish carry on growing ? Most of the fish are 6yrs old.....

How many koi and what size is your current pond Willo?

I saw a show from a pond rebuild where they gave the koi bread and they got so over weight that they had to put the fish on a diet because they outgrew the pond

Hi Bagsmom

If your koi start having babies, you will need a bigger pond!

I have koi and it is not easy to keep up with the growth of them .i started with 1500 gallons and am now at 5000+ gallons since 2005 .My first in 2004 was a preformed to hold the babies until I got done building the front porch .They were cheap koi from the koi farm that were rejects and all of them cost less than 5 dollars and were only a couple of inch's long at the time .Now my first 2 Aggie and Bert are over 2 foot long and the others are fancy tail and fat fantails .I wish i had only gotten fat fantails ,they just get fat and the butt wiggle is the cutest

One reason I stuck with goldfish/shubunkins. They stay small, easy to care for.
