Want this question answered?
a koi carp can grow as big as a pond
In the pond. (If he jumps, he lands in the pond.)
Yes, they won't bother them.the Carp and Koi are among the same family and are scrap eaters. they dont eat other fish, they eat the scraps they find to be tasty in the bottom of the lake or pond. this is why most people dont recommend eating them
Yes, until they outgrow them. Then put them into an outdoor pond.
Large insects, carp, and frogs. ( if pond is used as a bird bath also then birds are included)
they flack off the scales
Depends on the definition of "carp". Your garden variety pond minnow is of family Cyprinidae, which is the family of carp. So you could say it was born a carp. On the other hand, there are over 2000 species within Cyprinidae. Some are called "carp", some are called "minnows", and one does not become the other.
We have several ponds and would like to put carp in them to keep the algae down. However we also have dye in the ponds for color. so was just wondering if the carp would survive with the dye in the ponds.
you can its just like this it wont stop growing
Carp are omnivores. They will eat decaying plant and animal matter from the floor of the river, pond, or other body of water that they inhabit.
Carp is entirly edible and some say it is very good as long as you gut it properly, in Canada and most of usa you can take home carp. in north America i don't even think there is a quota... but check
Koi carp are essentially pond fish (they were bred to be broad backed and colourful from above for pond viewing). They are omnivorous and like most other fish will eat any fish small enough to fit in their mouths if they are hungry. Match sizes and all should be OK. Remember Koi grow to over 24 inches long.
