Top! leuk om nu eens bewust (en kritisch) te kijken naar mijn voergedrag en welke impact dat heeft. Goed uitgelegd.

[@Aboutkoi]

Dank je! Voeding voor Koi is zeker iets wat de moeite waard is om je in te verdiepen voor mooie (groei)resultaten en gezonde vissen

[@KoiRun50]

Hello Sir, excellent video as usual. Just wondering what the ph is like in these green water and if there is much of a ph swing. Thanks.

[@Aboutkoi]

pH often is quite low in mud ponds. It varies from around 6,5 to the lower end of 7. Sometimes up to 7,5/7,6. For that reason sometimes mudponds one year can be very succesful with growth results, while next year the results can be disappointing because of heavy rain for example.

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Very interesting stuff thanks 👌👍

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

nice video brother actually i started growing my own koi pond...

[@Aboutkoi]

Great! How many Koi do you have in your pond?

[@TravellingIlonggoTv]

@@Aboutkoi i started about 50 koi but i wanted to add more its a great fish bro.

[@Aboutkoi]

@@TravellingIlonggoTv , you surely can add some extra. Will be nice!

[@TravellingIlonggoTv]

@@Aboutkoi thank you brother i was inspired from your video. ill be posting my koi video soon

[@michaelfox2753]

Yet another great video...would like to understand the benefits of 50/50 feeding..ie when feeding sinking and floating in anyone feeding session

[@Aboutkoi]

Thanks for your comment, appreciated! The benefit it has in my opinion is a better distribution of food throughout the area if you have larger numbers of Koi. Meaning all Koi have more chance to grab some food, also the more 'shy' Koi that tend to stay in the background.

[@michaelfox2753]

@@Aboutkoi Thank-you for the reply.

[@davidhe4019]

wow， very detailed information here！ thank you alot to make that chart table for us to understand the function！but for temp up 20 degree I do understand the number is based on daily， how abt those temp under 20？ especially 10degrees is that mean I need to feed them that amount daily？ thabk you！

[@Aboutkoi]

Glad it was helpful! Both for under and above 20 degrees this table shows the amount of food that can be provided to Koi on a daily basis. So for example at 15 degrees 1% of body weight in food. If the Koi weight is 1000 grams, you can provide around 10 grams of pellets on a daily basis. Hope that will help you 😊

[@beingkoi659]

Thanks 😊

[@Aboutkoi]

Thank you too! 👍

[@utomo8]

How about food and mineral for koi fry/ baby. What food and mineral and vitamin they give? Please make video about this

[@PaulWheelerPhotography]

Great video. Is the weight of food split over the number of feeds for the day, or is it the weight of food per feed?

[@Aboutkoi]

Hi Paul, the weight mentioned differs a bit. But it is indeed per day and not per feeding round. Sometimes I mentioned the weekly amount and sometimes the daily amounts.

[@PaulWheelerPhotography]

@@Aboutkoi Thank you :)

[@Wrecked01]

Does Saki Hikari make a sinking food? I can't find it.

[@Aboutkoi]

Yes they do, for example the Balance and Growth are available in sinking. I think color and multi season are not.

[@s.ragland2537]

So what specific name brand food is the best for koi fish to eat for growth and development ?

[@Aboutkoi]

Pfoe... There surely are multiple good brands. I've listed some high quality choices in the description of the video!

[@kishanneha3622]

They are using saki-hikari as food?

[@Aboutkoi]

Many are, I can't speak for all of course. Most of the ponds you see in this video are fed with Saki

[@dwidoskai21]

Please make an English Subtitle 🙏🏻

[@markred3267]

how many times need to feed the koi daily? maximum how many times?

[@Aboutkoi]

Some of the ponds in this video are fed 6 or 7 times by the breeders. And breeders will probably know very well what is best for their Koi. So I suggest to follow their approach 😉

[@markred3267]

thanks for the info.Will do

[@rvpadioschannel5643]

Hello sir what is the best food for breeders koi to have a egg developer of female breeders? Thanks

[@Aboutkoi]

Hi there, it is important to use protein containing food. Ideally I would go for food with a large basis of fishmeal. You can also add for example frozen shrimps as addition

[@dannybouwmeester720]

Are you from netherland

[@Aboutkoi]

Correct!

[@dediirawan15589]

Hi, i have a question, they do 7 times feed per day ? Every 3 hours ? Also do they feed at night? Or only day time ? Thanks 👍

[@Aboutkoi]

It depends for each breeder. Average I would say about 5-8 times. Most breeders start early in the morning with the first feeding round. Then rest of the feeding usually is only day time & one late at night

[@dediirawan15589]

@@Aboutkoi thanks for the information, i will subscribe this channel

[@Aboutkoi]

Thank you a lot! That's nice to hear, welcome to the club 😉. Hopefully you are going to enjoy the new weekly content!

[@jameswithers3066]

Hi can I just ask is the chart table for any age of koi? Thanks

[@Aboutkoi]

Hi there, yes it is applicable to any age. However, if Koi are younger you are fine if you increase the percentages slightly. When Koi are older it is better to decrease it slightly.

[@jameswithers3066]

@@Aboutkoi so if I had around 20 koi at 60cm, you can feed 1.5kg a day? Also what would be the minimal you could feed so they stay healthy but slow steady growth? Thanks in advance.

[@sangsanga7403]

Do we need to seperate them first before breeding them if they stayed together before

[@Aboutkoi]

It is not necessarily needed. But will surely help to separate male and female koi for a while to increase the chance of natural breeding in your pond or tank.

[@sangsanga7403]

And what are the bests age to breed them 😊

[@Aboutkoi]

Female should be at least 3 years old, male above 2 years old. Little bit older will be easier usually.

[@sangsanga7403]

Thanks ..😄ill be back for results

[@Aboutkoi]

Best of luck! Hope it will work out.

[@aswinsuresh1092]

Which food they are giving

[@Aboutkoi]

Most breedrs give to their higher quality Koi a famous japanese Koi good, you will probably know the name. For lower quality Koi they usually give a more affordable pellet food

[@andychung2074]

I love ur koi but can’t get them in us

I would love to... but we don't sell any Koi at all. We are just an information source and sharing knowledge with you 😃

[@atsuminaoki9910]

The food itself is important, but more importantly, how to make it aggressive to predation? The most important thing is the technique! Here's a summary list of what's going on there.　kzbin.info/aero/PL3--geNz_JVur4vAGmbira01AMSvD7He9
