Thank you,very beautiful video,can you show us what type of feed do you prepare for the koi?

[@koiselectsa]

Yes will do glad you're enjoying

[@JTBear]

A fantastic video, great explanations. Many thanks!

[@dogfacesailor]

Constructive Feedback, With respect. Was it your audio, or mine. I was getting two different audio levels. The PowerPoint like slides had too low of volume.

[@kenmaples6856]

Question. Before removing the breeders make sure they are finished spawning. How do you know when they are finished?

[@armandkoekemoer2994]

Awesome koi!!!! Thanks for lots of tips. I'm hooked!!!!

Great video very helpful ❤it😊

[@adeelakram8828]

awesome video thank you very much please if you dont mind explain more about male and female koi

[@koiselectsa]

+adeel akram will make a video on the weekend

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

It is amazing how over productive koi can be in the correct environment.

[@koiselectsa]

+James King yes in nature most would get eaten - eggs and fry

[@giobelkoicentercom]

not all of them will reach to adult koi plus you need to cull them to get a good koi

[@andyc8758]

Yet again a fantastic and really quite inspirational film, well done. If I could manage to get two or three fish as good as beautiful as you have achieved I'd be a very happy man. A couple of questions if you don't mind. I have two specific females that are heavily full, but how do I know when the time is right? Secondly what do you do with all those fry? And lastly is there a season where results a most likely? How dependent on climate is the cycle? Sorry for all the questions but it really is fascinating.

Hi. Where does one but spawning material? Thanks a mil

[@srimathdiasperera5145]

Very good teachings

[@BelajarBarengtentangKoi]

So, you run the filter and the pump during the spawning session as well? Won't the eggs and the sperms get sucked into the filter instead?

[@koiselectsa]

I run the system only air while they spawn. And circulation through filters until hatch then air again

[@BelajarBarengtentangKoi]

@@koiselectsa OK, gotcha. Thank you so much.

[@uwaiskadwa4057]

Great video.Do u feed the fish while in the spawning pond?What age can u start breeding from?

[@corycarr1611]

They reach sexual maturity around 3-5 but sometimes earlier but you'll have better luck if you wait until 3-5 years

[@zoltantakacs9840]

very good video! what filter can use/ pressure/.when the best time in 4 season weathers?

[@koiselectsa]

We do two months after the start of spring end November

[@davo4174]

Thanks for a really interesting video!

[@sanjaydarshandhari3609]

Should i place a filter for the koi baby fry ?cuz my whole koi baby fry is dead expect 20 of them are fine now.any suggestation plz?

[@koiselectsa]

No filter that can suck the babies in

[@koiselectsa]

Sponge filter is a good idea initially

[@sanjaydarshandhari3609]

@@koiselectsa tq 👍👍

[@heangkim1794]

If it's time for the fish to hatch, how can we know that the fish are breeding?bro

[@koiselectsa]

You can get them to breed

[@LuckyCryptoGuy777]

What are those black mesh looking nets call and where can I buy those?

[@koiselectsa]

Spawning brushes? At your koi dealer or you can use shade cloth cut into strips

[@LuckyCryptoGuy777]

The spawning brushes I can find but the black netting you have in your pond. These no one seem to have it. Thanks

[@andybaldeo4773]

I spawin at home here in trinidad my only problem is filtration for the fry pond after they hatch what do you do ?

[@koiselectsa]

Fees live food as long as you can - it’s the powder food that stuffs the water up. I try and get a filter even if blocked with a sponge on asap. Key is not to suck the babies up.

[@Zakimijo]

Three questions. 1. Should I stop the filter after the koi are finished spawning? 2. When should I turn the filter back on so the fry will not get sucked up? Should I use a UV light in my filter or wait until the fry are larger?

[@koiselectsa]

Yes stop the filter and only airstones and gradually add filtration. Up doesn’t matter just make sure fish don’t get sucked in

[@devosx]

So how many fish you produce until this big from thousand of fries? How many of them lives?

[@koiselectsa]

I normally have about 2 thousand fry to work with. I give bags of fry away and then also sell lots of babies. I tray and have about 50 tosai from each season. I don’t really cull - unless I’m breeding Showa. In nature 90% are eaten

[@aniryoj5022]

Within the 4 days of the breeding process do i have to feed them or not??? Thankyou

[@blackbox994]

hi,i recently (june 2018) built a pond on my allotment,i did not put any fish in it as i wanted to let the water clear natually and the plants to grow ,but things do not always go according to plan and a friends friend decided to fill in his pond,well about 4 days ago he gave me 6 koi carp,they settled in nicely and seeme to enjoy their new home,as he left he said they probably spawn,i assumed this was a joke until two nights ago when they went mental,chasing each other madly around and from videos i have watched on youtube seemed to be mating,my question is what made them spawn so late in the year and what are the chances of any fry surviving and how can i help them?

[@koiselectsa]

New environment often triggers spawning. Especially if there is spawning material. Do you. Have plants in the pond?

[@blackbox994]

Yes,i have lots of oxygenators and lilies,take a look at the videos on my channel,i have added more (reed mace,water hyacinths,Canadian pond weed) since i took the films,also i noticed one of the females had taken a bit of a beating and ended up with a large chunk out of her side and behind her dorsal fin,i have isolated her in a large fish tank and have been treating her wounds for seven days now and she is recovering from her ordeal nicely,there does not seem to be any fry or eggs anywhere though although the pond stank of fish for day or so,maybe they were shooting blanks. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

[@blackbox994]

KOI Select Hmm,they were spawning,i now have hundreds of little fry in the pond,i have set up three safe boxes for them to hide in and a fish tank waiting if it looks like the larger fish are taking too heavy a toll on the little fellows,although for now the larger fish seem to be ignoring the fry,also the injured fish's wound has nearly healed and the fish has become very friendly.

[@blackbox994]

Hmm,i discovered yesterday my Koi carp are actually Comet Goldfish....ill get my coat.

[@swisstiagocruz]

I have a question! And eating ? What you give them for eat ?

[@koiselectsa]

I use daphnia and sprirulina and egg yolk mostly

[@abelationgorgoro8310]

awsome video. at 12:15 you said that those were the results of a breeding season. are those all the koi that survived or were there more?

[@koiselectsa]

+Abelation Gorgoro no plenty more survived also end up giving away bags of fry each season - way too many fish for me

[@abelationgorgoro8310]

KOI Select ok cool I'm glad and thank you for responding

Do you feed them after one day that they have not spawn?

[@koiselectsa]

Not sure what you asking - I don't feed in first day while the yolk sac absorbs

Why don't you want them to breed in your main pond

That would be chaotic. Too many big fish - they tend to not spawn unless you introduce spawning material.
