Hi, I was just wondering if a koi can breed at 12 inches? If not what is the minimum size they have to be? Thanks- pondgirl

Yes they can if they are sexually mature, some fish don't grow as fast as others and can be 12 inches long and 2 years old (average age they mature). Some fish mature younger some older, I don't recommend breeding them at under 2 years old though if they want to spawn that early then they can do it on their own.

Thanks you guys! Awesome site- answered all my questions about breeding! What are spawning brushes I wonder. They must be what they sound like. I started using untwined nylon rope myself. Thanks again, I had one smaller koi at 12 inches, and was wondering if he could have gotten in on the spawning action. He is definately 2 and a half, so probably did. Thanks, pondgirlSmile

Once you start koi you just can't stop.

I have heard that koi mature after a certain number of "warm hours". This makes much more sense than a ceratain size or age.
