Hi Everyone - it's been a while since I posted. This year i decided to try my hand at spawning my koi. Every year we have mass spawning in the main pond and I always get a few survivors and it's always fun raising them so this year I bought a 12' diamter Intex pool. Added a pump and a home made filter with matala mats, and bioballs. Added an air pump. Selected the parents:
The mommy is a Hosakai kujaku that I got from Russ in 2012. Dad 1 is a showa, and Dad 2 is a Yamato both from Kodama.
The spawning took place a week before memorial day - it took about 5 days for them all to hatch. I was surprised to see results.
