Facts on Koi

Size

An average Koi can grow up to 36 inches. The size of your pond & feeding method will affect a Koi’s size. Aeration plays a major part in a Koi’s size and health. A healthy Koi will grow larger and live longer. It is not uncommon for a healthy Koi to grow 4 to 5 inches per year in a well oxygenated pond. Healthy Koi can live well over 100 years.

Food

Koi should be feed at least once per day. But a healthy Koi can go without feeding for over 7 days. Koi will eat almost anything, including such foods as lettuce, peas, cooked rice and watermelon, but most of a Koi’s food should be special Koi pellets because of the vitamins and protein that Koi need.
