Koi Size Question
I have a 5 year old koi and a 3 year old koi. Both have stopped growing
due to the small size of the pond. If I move them to a larger pond, will they start growing again? Or did I stop there potential with the small pond. Carl -- -- http://www.cobaltbluefilms.com |

I have one koi that my daughter purchased for me. It was held in an
aquarium until she could bring it home - this koi was stunted. It has started to grow again but it's much smaller than others it's same age. One point to make- it's doubtful if she fed it the proper food. It's a healthy fish now, but it never caught up with the others. -- Bonnie NJ "Carl Beyer" wrote in message ...

Carl I think it might depend on the koi and the conditions Bonnie mentioned. I had one in pond that never grew beyond 10". I know it wasn't because of my pond as the mate I purchased with it, same size, grew to 24". So something happen prior to my purchase or it had a weakness, or got the short genes in the family. ;-) That said, I sold two 8 yo BF koi that were about 14" at the time, to folks with a much BIGGER pond in the spring of last year, and was surprised when I saw them in the fall they had grown 4" at the very least. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |
