A few weeks ago we wrote about diagnosing specific diseases found in your backyard koi pond in our post, Koi Fish Diseases Exposed. We only scratched the surface but we’re back to help you detect any koi fish illness you may come across! The following is a checklist of what to watch for and what to inspect when you suspect a koi fish illness is invading your pond.

Koi fish breeding can boost your pond’s population and extend the lifeline of your koi. Breeding takes many steps and can be costly, but if you’d like to grow more koi for your pond, or maybe even sell them, koi breeding may be for you. Once they reach a foot long they can be worth about $100 each. With your koi producing so many eggs, the amount of money you wish to make just depends on how much space you have to raise the koi.

Thinking about adding to your koi population? Then consider koi fish breeding. The pastime can vary from a hobby to a full-out profession. If you have the time, space, and budget to expand your koi collection, koi breeding may be for you! Koi breeding is an easy way to expand your pond’s population and can earn you quite a bit of money. Sometimes in larger sized ponds koi fish will reproduce on their own. In most cases, if you’d like to add to your koi populations, steps need to be taken to formally breed.

Sometimes, even when we work hard to keep our koi fish happy and healthy, sickness can strike. Whether it be a stray parasite, a drastic drop in temperature, a mysterious virus, or some questionable pond water, we’re here to expose some of the most common koi fish diseases.

Wanting a koi pond but not sure where to place it? Many koi owners are choosing to place their ponds indoors. These smaller ponds can be more affordable and be a smart option for cold-climate areas. Indoor koi ponds can be a beautiful addition to any home or business if done right.
