I would like to know all about raising koi fry too.

I have some fry but not enough to really sell.

Well, I've never done it before, but i did some looking and found a bit out about goldfish fry -



I personally would think that in an english house you'd be able to grow koi fry in an indoor aquarium.

How big is a 4gallon aquarium? cmXcmXcm please?

Of course, where to get fry i suppose is a problem

But if you do manage to get some, i think they will probably grow up quite nicely

Hi Chris

i think that a 4G aquarium is going to be very small for koi. How many are you intending to raise?

i would be thinking at least a 2ft aquarium for about 100 fry, and then transferring these to your main pond and keeping them in a holding net.

let me know how it turns out

i wanted to raise aobut 10 in there. but have recently changed my mind lol Crazy i have now decided i will grow them on in a safe net inside my pond and then wen they are big enough i shall realise them into my actual pond.
