I know there are a couple of you that breed alot of koi, my pond is about 1200 gallons right now, but in the spring, I planned to go alot bigger. (not sure how much, just dreaming at the moment) I love my koi, and want to get even more, so I really want to expand,
Anyways, For those of you that breed, I was just wondering what your setups were? How large are your ponds? and then do you have separate fry ponds or tanks?
I dont know if my intent will be to actually breed, but I'm sure some will happen naturually, and I guess, if its going to happen, I might as well keep them alive and maybe make a few bucks? The City i live in no longer has ANY small pet stores, They've all been run out by petsmart, petco, and walmart and such. So i thought maybe there are some people like me around that would rather buy thier pond fish from a local breeder that they know takes care of thier fish.
So anyway, long story short, please give me some ideas of your setups, and what do you guys do with all of those babies? sell locally? ebay? Im just kind of dreaming right now, I'd have alot to learn about breeding if i decided to do it. But it sure would be a lot easier to convince the wife to expand the pond if i said i could recoup some of that cost.
