Good to hear some positive results! Hopefully others will post with their favorable solutions. Although some may argue that a weekly hose down is...

Very good advertising. For a good make. That was a good make! Until? What make is it, was it.?

The lighter ones can be a little harder to see in a light colored bowl. I wonder what percentage you would get if you netted a couple dozen and...

Got home from work and went outside to clean the large filter and while that was going on took the opportunity to transfer a few more fry:) Am...

If it were me I would remove the rock and add you depth above ground as well as removing the shelves. This added height will also allow you to hide...

Quick question when catching cleaning tank the fin underside at back got caught in fish net i cut it all down to minimal netting still caught anyone...

Here's another image with a small sample of fry and the darker ones have definitely been in my opinion the winners if this had been a contest, I've...

Been using a cartridge filter with my sand gravel and bog filter. Crystal clear water with a weekly hose down. No clogging sand or losing beads

Good morning everyone, 9 day's later am seeing a better picture of how this spawn is developing and am seeing more darker fry than lighter fry I like...

I've had these ponds for 2 years, had 2 x 1000L ones with PVC framework for over 10 years, the ones I have now say Life time more than 10 years.

Thanks for sharing... How long have the pond/frame been in use? Just curious of the lifespan for them Your koi look healthy

I concur with you on the utility bill 100%, now am going to add another picture that I believe is either going to be an ochiba or a soragoi and the...

I have a few 500-watt aquarium heaters that I drop into the tanks when temps start to get low during the first few days post hatching. I believe that...

Nice. I think you will enjoy the koi. Thanks for the pics!

Trying to see them on day one can just about give somebody a headache. But If I get close and gently move the spawning material, I can easily see...

Good evening folks I know what they say no pictures it didn't happen well this is going to be one of those updates, these last two days during the...

Get yourself a complete test kit, preferably drop type like the API kits, ammonia, nitrite, high range pH, and KH. If you are going to transfer, be...

Increasing the KH will usually increase the bio colonies as the pH is stable morning to evening, which is easier on the fish. All filters go through...

It depends on what kind of system you want. I use the vortex filters to make the bead filter's job easier and more efficient because it doesn't get...

I would aerate the water as much as you can, maybe do a 25% water change. Sometimes when you clean the pond you disturb the sediment and can cause...
