Why are my koi not eating and hiding in their new pond?

Your koi may not be eating and are hiding in their new pond due to stress from the change in environment. Factors such as water quality, temperature fluctuations, or the presence of predators can impact their behavior. Additionally, if the pond is too deep or lacks hiding spots, they might feel insecure.

What does a koi pond look like?

As big as possible. Ideally 3ft to 6ft deep rectangular shape is best with no wider than 12 ft as this makes it harder to catch them if needs be. 18 to 23ft is good. Koi ponds can be smaller but this is my preferred measurement. A bottom drain should be fitted or two a skimmer which both will need to be installed when you dig in. It is a good idea to build your koi pond up maybe 3ft for predators and run off from the surrounding area. A filter system to be used which will filter 50 percent of the water volume in one hour. A uv clarifier to keep the water clear and 500 gallons per fully grown koi. Some will go for 250 gallon per loi it is mixed debate.

Would crayfish do well with koi?

Sometimes fiddler crabs or other crab species are sold for aquariums. Most require brackish or even saltwater. Few thrive in freshwater. Most require live insects, worms, and/or small fish to eat. They can harass or kill other small animals in the tank with them. Many have nasty pinchers. For this reason, they are best suited to a set-up solely for them. Almost all of the crabs sold for "freshwater" tanks require a haul-out spot. The water level must be low enough to allow them to get in and out of the water with ease. If denied the ability to get out of the water, they will eventually die. They most likely also require full spectrum lighting over the basking site but studies probably have not been done on this. Fiddler crabs and similar species stay relatively small, at a few inches in size.

How many times do you feed koi fish?

depends on pond size and water temperature.. for a small pond, once every other day or once every three days should be OK. For a big pond w/ a lot of natural stuff in there you shouldn't need to feed them much at all. Also as the water temp gets lower (winter) feed them less.

Once things have equalised lower the bucket of fish into the pond gently and once the bucket is submerged tip it so the fish will swim out.

Difference between male and female butterfly koi?

A butterfly Koi is simply a Koi with longer and straggly finnage. They are sexed in exactly the same way as all other Koi and/or goldfish. The Koi does not reach sexual maturity until it is about 10 inches long so it can not be sexed until then. Once sexually mature the females tend to have a chubbier appearance than the males and (as with goldfish) the males develop whitish spots (Pimples) on their gill plates and pectoral fins when they come into breeding condition.
