The title is “How to buy koi for your pond” you buy koi by going into the store and giving the cashier money
how much do they cost?
koi normally sit on the bottom because either the water is to cold or they are unhealthy
They may just not be used to you et. it can take fish a long time to get used to you. Or if they are in a pond, maybe there is a predator that’s been bugging them
its breed is not nice the color is black
Wow. You know nothing about fish.
yes i change the water normaly ,yes they come up to eat,i’ve got them for 2 weeks now,and what i meant to say that they always tend to hide,but at night i see them swimming in the aquarium ….sorry about my english
Koi doesn’t “like” cold water they can live in it, yes. They “like” a temperature of 20C-25C, which is warm water.
Theres no such thing as a NINE foot koi and if there ever was it would be more around $100, 000 dollars….. not 2k..
How can you say “my koi fish are very healthy” and then say except they always sit on the bottom.. Do they come up to eat? Do you do partial water changes? How long have you had them?
No, its not normal.
my koi fish are very healthy but i find them always hidden,always sitting on the bottom of the acuarium,i don’t know why…is this a normal???
3-4 feet
u need a pond unless you have a huge tank
i saw a 9 foot long koi
it was for sale for 2 grand

I’d like the koi. How much are they? how big? I live in Fullerton Ca. Can you deliver them?
BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sometime in january our pond froze completley over the top….i would wake up and pull ice that was like half and inch thick off the top….there still thriving
yeah my mum had a 7 foot deep koi ponf years ago, it used to freeze over in winter so my mum used t go out every day and broke it, they never eat when its cold.
Nice Nice Video. I really loved your video. Youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed, check out this site called tubeviews [dot net] It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 Channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i’m going to working on.
Sweet!
I agree with you Reflip02, our Koi live in Southern Illinois and we stop feeding them when the water temp drops below 55 degrees, otherwise (I guess) the food decomposes in the fish’s GI tract and the toxins kill it. Be sure your water depth is below the freeze line and the water surface doesn’t freeze over completely so the CO2 will diffuse out and the O2 in.
Kois don’t necessarily need to live in a heated pond, they are naturally from japan, where it gets really cold. During the winter time, the koi simply don’t eat, they will be fine though, as long as the pond surface doesn’t completely freeze up.
koi can grow to a couple of feet man o.O
it depends on the space available for the koi to grow, the blood line, the food you feed them, and the water quality, ofcourse the common koi you can buy for 10 dollars would not grow too if it has bad bloodline thats why the koi hobby can easily burn a hole in your wallet although theyre truely beautiful fish. =]
i think u;re aiming for 1000gal for an adult koi
