      This is better to be asked in the main forum, not chit chat...You will probably get more answers there....

      That's a loaded question, lol. If your asking during a spawning season, I've used a couple of males twice in one season with a 30 day break if you're asking how long can a male be spawned for that will depend on the koi health and care I don't see why a male koi at 15 yrs of age couldn't be fertile.

      I experimented this year and used a male Sanke twice with a separation of 12 days between matings. The second spawn had well over 3000 fry hatch out, so it seems that fertilization was not effected by the two matings.

      The potential for jokes here is huge, but for once I’m not going there

      You can use them as many times as they still produce milt. I have used some males as many as a dozen times only weeks apart. While this is not common it can be done

      How often a male koi can be used for spawning?

      In terms of weeks or months, how often can a Male Koi be used for spawning?
      Its easy to see if the female has eggs and is ready for spawning, but how can I tell if an adult male will be able to fertilise the eggs and how often can he be used?
