Best video on this topic. THANK YOU ☺️

[@sarahk4047]

Thanks for the awesome video! 😄

[@MichelleAiello]

Omg, you're the guy with the keto cheesecake??! I looked up this video because I moved into a house with a koi pond. Thanks for helping me with two very different things!!

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Yep, that’s me. Thanks for watching my channel. We have a lot of different playlists. I hope that you enjoy them :-)

[@lisahupfer9501]

Awesome video last year I only had 2 make it. I didn't make a very good net. So I have them in a storage container. Hope that's ok. When they get bigger I'll make sure I make a better net because all the big fish kept trying to get the food off the bottom and kept breaking it so hope for the best. thank you for your awesome video

[@isaiahtolo9819]

Really cool! Good info! I am a researcher at UMN studying carp!

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Love carp ~ If you ever want to see where the giant carp spawn locally every year then you should watch this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn_KgXeCasuEb5o

[@Gamingreviewer300]

this is an awesome video!

[@bae896]

Well I appreciate this video... my koi always go nuts mid spring and I scooped out 11 baby fish in July, but I'll never get to the eggs because the size of the pond and the sheer number of lily pads. Thanks again for the info!

[@kiogh5295]

Awsome video thank you so much

[@samantharyan3500]

Thank you that's great 👍

[@sheltonminor9881]

Great content, I am doing the same things as we post but I screen the egg yoke through a fine food grade net as not to muck up the water.

[@BugandBuns]

We just got 2 big Koi 3 days ago, one of them female and the other unsexed, I noticed the female was looking a little bloated when we got her but today there a TONS of fish eggs in the corner of our pond where they like to hide, they are a light blue color and covering all the roots of the pond plants. I’m not sure if they are koi eggs because we have a couple gold fish and minnows but they look too big to belong to them.

[@sandramurphy6802]

Do you have a video on how you made the place to put your eggs and what netting you used. We have a koi pond and I just seen we have babies swimming around. Thank you for the video.

[@CutBackTvChannel]

cool

[@lesliegarrett69]

wow!!

[@sharonhoof8438]

Is that a hoola hoop you used to put the floating plants in for the eggs to be laid on? I have mine in a floating net and guess I’ll be moving them into something where the roots are available for laying. It was very convenient they laid eggs on those roots. Any tips for that? Thanks

[@sheltonminor9881]

You can get a pool noodle from the dollar store and some zip ties and a very fine netting. You can even cut the noodle in half down the middle to make a circle.

[@dennis12879]

hello mate i put brushes in my pond a few weeks ago but they are covered in thick algae but cant seem to wash it off in hot water and i want to get it off before they spawn witch seems like it will be soon do you have any suggestions of how to get it off would it come off easier if i let them dry thanks dennis

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I would use algaecide or let dry until it dies off

[@giobelkoicenter]

kindly check your spam folter if you are un able to see the link of the video usually youtube will place it under spam

[@ronanderson2937]

What netting did you use for your homemade water hammock? I made 3-4 spawning mops, and just moved my koi eggs on the mops in to an empty aquarium. Would love to do the hammock deal, but don't know what type of netting to use.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I just went to the hardware store and bought some screen for a screen window just make sure that it’s not metal or any kind of metal material I think it must be some kind of synthetic or polyester type material.

[@ronanderson2937]

@@TwinCitiesAdventures Thanks for the reply. I moved my spawning mops in to an inside aquarium on 4/8/20, and today I have a lot of fry swimming around. May have been sitting in the koi pond for a couple of days. What I put up around my aquarium filter, was one of those netting bags that you get when you buy a pump for a pond. I just thought that the holes were a little large, but will see how this works. Seems about the same size holes/squares as a screen. I'll post some short clips when more start hatching! Thanks for your reply.

[@stubbsaquatics6080]

Great video.. Amazing shots. You got a good spawn there and lots of fry.. Now the fun begins. I like your pond. I have had ponds I have built for as long as I can remember. I have 4 koi ponds surrounded by decking and trees.. We are the only owners of the house.. I am new to social media and to KZbin. I am not of Facebook or Instagram. Would you mind looking at my channel.

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I will check it out. Thanks for watching

[@TheSeverum]

How did you make the water hammocks? Where did you get the supplies?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Nylon window screen from the hardware store, a pool noodle and some zip ties.

[@TheSeverum]

@@TwinCitiesAdventures Ok cool thank you

[@inm2967]

Wow, I didn't think koi will survive in Minnesota. How do u keep them throughout our winters? Are you by any chance selling any?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

We put them in our garage in a big hundred gallon clay drum and we use bubblers and heaters you can see some of these videos on our Minnesota coupon playlist.kzbin.info/aero/PLnr-dv2dinVEjdavak1Qd6yhB3FPHwgP3

[@high_fructose_corn_syrup]

@@TwinCitiesAdventures how many watts is the heater you use to heat it? I have 100g in my basement and will need to heat it. My basement in the winter drops as low as 40 degrees. So i need to know what size will work to up the temp at least 30 degrees. Ty

[@RosheAnthonyProMUA]

Quick question, once the eggs are stuck to the roots of the plant, have they already been fertilized?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

No, the female squirts the eggs on to the roots. Separately the male Has to fertilize the eggs.

[@RosheAnthonyProMUA]

Twin Cities Adventures Oh okay so, I've made the hammock to protect them from getting eaten. If I put them back out, they'll eat the roots and the eggs! what should I doooo? 😫

[@RosheAnthonyProMUA]

I really need a bunch of advice. I bought a home with a fairly large pond and really want to have happy koi 🥰

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Once the fish squirts the eggs on to the roots of the plants and they have been fertilized do you want to pick them up and put them in a secure place like a water hammock that we built. Keep the plants in there until the eggs hatch once the eggs hatch you can start feeding them egg yolks that are hard boiled like we did in our playlist. Just watch our whole playlist called raising baby Cue fish and you’ll learn everything that you need to do. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

[@RosheAnthonyProMUA]

Twin Cities Adventures AWESOME!!! I saw my first baby fry yesterday!!! I made an egg and fed him... Let's all pray he/she has siblings! I wish I could send pics but they won't attach here. Thank you so much for your guidance. You're more helpful than the people I've PAID to clean the pond! Wish Ya'll were local. I'll look for your videos on cleaning and maintaining as well. Starting to wonder if I need to have them empty the whole thing out every year as they do... Again thanks and I'll keep you updated. Tell your son from the video, GREAT JOB! 💥

[@cameragg9752]

Does the water stink even after the eggs are laid? We separated our fish eggs in a bucket and put an o2 system for air but the water seems all white and stinky.. I don't know if the eggs will hatch ...:(

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Our pond water does not stink. I don’t know. I have never separated them from the pond. I always keep them in the pond in the same water, because eggs are fragile. I’ve never used an O2 system either…

[@cameragg9752]

@Twin Cities Adventures yeah ,ours is small.we couldn't separate them like you did ...perhaps the eggs died then...they got white..Were transparent when laid first

[@janeahB811]

Did your water look different or change after they spawned?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

No, but my koi pond is about 2000 gallons so I don’t think that I would notice a color change.

[@cameragg9752]

It gets quite frothy and stinks, too. I have a relatively small pond, so it was quite easy to notice the change

[@bhavaninarayanan4698]

My koi fish laid eggs. How will I know whether they are fertilized or not?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

They usually fertilize the eggs immediately after they’re laid. In my pond they follow right behind the female and fertilized them right away and then shortly after they go around and try to eat all the eggs up.

[@marianneeskew9364]

Could you tell me what kind of plants you used? Thank you

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I can’t remember what they’re called I think one might be called water lettuce and the other one might be water Hyacinth

[@TheNeal92]

How make them feed Sir.. what are the basic items we can feed them

[@VA505]

hi. what kind of plant is that floating one?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Water lettuce and water hyacinth

[@VA505]

thank you

[@ranishanavas6602]

Which is the plant are you using for carp breeding

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Just regular pond plants. Anything with a root structure the eggs will stick to.

[@ranishanavas6602]

Ohh thankss bro for this information

[@juancastaner2576]

What kind netting did u get and where did u get it from?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I went to the hardware store and purchased the material that you use for a screen door. It’s like a screen that’s made out of some sort of fabric, not metal.

[@Pammmy58]

Is there directions on how to make the hammock? What to use?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

Yes, click on the link below the video.

[@vhc8383]

Hi nice plant what is it ?

[@mohamedlamuu5863]

Is koi eggs need sunlight to hatch eggs

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

That’s an interesting question, I have no idea.

[@gssrustenburg]

Great video. Is that water hyacinth plant?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

I think so

[@Meli182011]

Yes

[@brandonjbb]

where did you purchase black netting?

[@TwinCitiesAdventures]

[@RosheAnthonyProMUA]

I got mine from JoAnne Fabric 🥰

[@oppa8938]

What kind of plants are those?

[@mrtings]

Water hyacinth
