i have a few questions.
1 do koi spawn all at once or do it over a few days.
2 how long does it take for the new koi to show color.
3 what should we be feeding the fry
about 2 weeks ago we found four small koi in our temp pond. we removed them and placed them into a small aquarium with pond water and an air stone. these koi are about 3/4 yo 1" big now.
3 days after we removed the small koi our guys spawned again thousands of eggs all over. we were able to remove some but not all. now we have about 50 fry that are about 1/4 long
have been doing water changed from the main pond and using it to supply the small tanks that now house the fry ooo and so you know there are 2 tanks one for the 4 bigger fry and one for the 50 or so fry.
we have been feeding all the fry Daphnia and some small flake food for fry
thanks for any input
