      Mitchiesan’s routine

      I have fed my koi very light in spring
      Today it is time to bring out that feeder
      Begin of May to 2 weeks they will be on 4x daily with only 1/8 cup each time
      I will adjust increase xdaily as season/temp stay more constant
      Another factor in my pond is I have 2/3 male koi and all my female koi is having no belly issue
      Everyone feeding different since every ponds are different
      Hat off to Dennis for his way and grew jumbo koi
      I will chasing his axx pretty soon haha
      Btw I love the petsafe feeder as I can manage the amount each time now
      Wala can’t wait for a success season to come
      Happy koi keeping

      Didn't read your original post carefully enough. Clicked on the YouTube link and thought you scored big time until I saw Konishi's face.

      I wonder if itll be possible for these guys to get to 20" this year?

      Update on 5 konishi karashigoi.
      I've put the whole pond on fasting since yesterday. Trying to get these greedy karashigoi under control. It was a mistake to grow tosai together with nissai.. nissai now have to go hungry while I get the karashigoi back into conformation

      2 are 12.5" 2 are a little over 12" and the smallest and slowest grower I think male is 10.5". They were all 4" when I got them in end of 2019..
      Oranji diotsu karashigoi headplate is recovering by 50%.

      Maybe time to try DIY live bait pen Tony. I used to raise my tosai in bait pen in main pond. This way I can control amount of food to feed daily.

      I did make one with netting and wood and I decided to take them out. That's how I injured the oranji karashigoi, it jumped head first into he wooden live bait pen.. luckily its recovering

      I think fasting them from 2 days ago helped clear out their stomachs. they looked eggy 2 days ago.. lots of poop now its cleared up. A few more days of fasting. I've been only throwing pellets in front of my showa and the runt karashigoi..
