@@Aboutkoi hopefully when you go next to Japan can you feature about the different filtration systems the breeders used. Very curious about their systems and filters they used.
pH often is quite low in mud ponds. It varies from around 6,5 to the lower end of 7. Sometimes up to 7,5/7,6. For that reason sometimes mudponds one year can be very succesful with growth results, while next year the results can be disappointing because of heavy rain for example.
Thanks for your comment, appreciated! The benefit it has in my opinion is a better distribution of food throughout the area if you have larger numbers of Koi. Meaning all Koi have more chance to grab some food, also the more 'shy' Koi that tend to stay in the background.
wow， very detailed information here！ thank you alot to make that chart table for us to understand the function！but for temp up 20 degree I do understand the number is based on daily， how abt those temp under 20？ especially 10degrees is that mean I need to feed them that amount daily？ thabk you！
Glad it was helpful! Both for under and above 20 degrees this table shows the amount of food that can be provided to Koi on a daily basis. So for example at 15 degrees 1% of body weight in food. If the Koi weight is 1000 grams, you can provide around 10 grams of pellets on a daily basis. Hope that will help you 😊
Hi Paul, the weight mentioned differs a bit. But it is indeed per day and not per feeding round. Sometimes I mentioned the weekly amount and sometimes the daily amounts.
Hi there, it is important to use protein containing food. Ideally I would go for food with a large basis of fishmeal. You can also add for example frozen shrimps as addition
Some of the ponds in this video are fed 6 or 7 times by the breeders. And breeders will probably know very well what is best for their Koi. So I suggest to follow their approach 😉
It depends for each breeder. Average I would say about 5-8 times. Most breeders start early in the morning with the first feeding round. Then rest of the feeding usually is only day time & one late at night
Hi there, yes it is applicable to any age. However, if Koi are younger you are fine if you increase the percentages slightly. When Koi are older it is better to decrease it slightly.
@@Aboutkoi so if I had around 20 koi at 60cm, you can feed 1.5kg a day? Also what would be the minimal you could feed so they stay healthy but slow steady growth? Thanks in advance.
It is not necessarily needed. But will surely help to separate male and female koi for a while to increase the chance of natural breeding in your pond or tank.
Most breedrs give to their higher quality Koi a famous japanese Koi good, you will probably know the name. For lower quality Koi they usually give a more affordable pellet food
The food itself is important, but more importantly, how to make it aggressive to predation? The most important thing is the technique! Here's a summary list of what's going on there. ru-vid.com/group/PL3--geNz_JVur4vAGmbira01AMSvD7He9
