Holiday Koi

11/19/2021

We've been so busy that I forgot to post anything recently about our fish. The koi have been moved inside to a heated building and here is the system in working motion for the little koi. Still up in the air if we're going to be ordering another box of koi this winter to sell in the spring but we'll keep you posted.

Had to move some of my koi around which means another photo opportunity of my holdbacks! Excited to see what happens in the next year

If you ever feel the need you can no longer care for your goldfish or koi please reach out for me. No questions asked and I will find homes for them. No need for them to live in our natural waterways.

Releasing pet goldfish in lakes could bring potential harm to the environment and water quality.

New Spring baby Koi!

05/21/2021

Well funny how you have a lot to do that a particular week and the koi just sense it. They have started to spawn as of this morning. Which means I am on baby watch for the next few days possibly longer. I am thinking about doing my own tutorial on how to make spawning material to collect eggs and how I raise them. I have collected eggs today and in about seven to ten days they will start hatching. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this year's batches.

I wanted to create a post on fish health. I'm not saying I'm an expert but this is what I keep on hand and seems to be doing me well so far. I am constantly trying new things to better my fish but here are the things I do consistently use. I always have bacterial, parasite, and fungal medication on hand. I keep a variety on hand of multiple medications because over time these issues can build immunity to a single medication and have a resistance. With multiple medications it does decrease the chances building an immunity. I typically also use a Sponge Filter since it is a good aerator and filtration system in any quarantine tank an easy to switch out. My top medications I like so far is paragaurd and Prazipro. I have aquarium salt but it is my last resort if nothing else is working because it can be tricky to use just in case if you under or over salt something. It can be very detrimental to your fish. Most of the time I get my medications on Amazon or the aquarium Co-op page. I have a few more medications I am in the process of ordering and will be trying out when needed but for a backyard koi keeper these medications are great for a reasonable price.
