When is koi mating season?

Answer 1

Koi breed once a year around spring time when the temperature changes.

There are many factors that determines the amount of eggs a koi will produce. Diet or the fish's state of health can affect it. For a koi fish in good health and approximate figure is about 45,000 per pound of fish. Don't worry, the other koi fish will eat most of these eggs.

Answer 2

IT DEPENDS ON WHEN THEY BREED.NOW IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR KOI FISH THEY NORMALY BREED ONCE A YEAR, BUT IF YOU HAVE INDOOR KOI FISH THEY BREED ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. P.S. BETTER WAY TO SAY IT IS YOUR KOI FISH MIGHT LAY EGGS IN SPRING TIME.

Answer 3

Koi eggs take roughly a week to hatch, give or take a day or two accounting for temperature of the water.

You do want to make sure that you remove the parents or eggs to a quiet tank or pool, the parents will eat the eggs and young fry. Other pond fishes such as loaches, catfish, plecos, and high fin sharks will also prey on the eggs and fry.

Answer 4

Yes, around 8-12 inches they will tend to breed. The first sign is that your female fish will become large with eggs and the males will start to franticly chase the females around. Koi breed once a year around spring time when the temperature changes. Be careful though, female koi can get badly hurt, or die, from the male koi bashing her on rocks. You should make sure you pond has lots of plants around for the female to lay her eggs in. You can also buy some spawning mats, these mats are layers of soft fibers used to prevent injury.
