Rule of thumb for fish stocking explanation
"Just Me "Koi"" wrote in message
... If I read you right, then you are saying that the minimum size of a pond for ease of movement of the fish is a 1000 gallons? Does dimension of the pond as to the 1000 gallon then come into effect? To follow up with the 100 gallons per fish will, are you then suggesting that for your 1000 gallon minimum pond one can keep 10 Koi to start with, and add one Koi for every 100 gallons added to the pond? For example the old rule will yield 11 fish for a 2000 gallon pond, while my understanding of your statement will suggest that 2000 gallons will hold 20 Koi. I am sooooooooo confused snip Here is my understanding of this ancient Chinese secret: 1 Koi = 1000 Gallons 2 Koi = 1100 Gallons 3 Koi = 1200 Gallons 4 Koi = 1300 Gallons 5 Koi = 1500 Gallons .. .. ..10 Koi = 3000 Gallons Of course there are numerous PORG's with ratios different this, and they are very successfull.
