Hi everyone, maybe you can answer a question. I have been breeding koi for a number of years now. I recently received some great koi from a good friend. She has jumbo koi and way too many of them. I was a lucky person for sure. My question is this. New female koi, new location or pond, water cold, weather changing to a little cooler now. Sunny days and fat belly more on one side than the other. I never had a female spawn this time of year. Is it possible, could she be spawning, in the cooler time of the year. I put our pads in the pond, we will see. I was just wondering what will happen here. This has never happened to us before. So can a koi in cool weather, although weather reached 80 degrees. Our pond has more open to the weather and sun. My friends is under tall trees and maybe a little colder because of this.
Water is fine. PH 7.5, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0, ammonia looked to be .25 or less. Hard to tell close to 0 though. 8,000 gallon pond. Plenty of air and filtration.
Thanks, Lynda
