Hi , Koi pond on Cape Cod Ma.

[Donny]

Three of my koi are 12 years old

 

[RobAmy]

Welcome. They must be a nice size. Do you have any photos of the pond or koi

Donny
We would love to see them and hear about your pond.

 

[Donny]

Will post some pics , We have Spoiled rotten fish , That know there names , Nibble on fingers , Only problem are long winters when you don't get to enjoy seeing them , This year all flowers around pond are dead no rain and one hot summer!!! Donny

 

[Mmathis]

Welcome to our group! I agree about the pictures -- we enjoy looking at other's ponds & fish! So tell us, what are their names?

 

[sissy]

welcome and we had a hot dry summer also but finally got rain for a couple of days

 

[Donny]

Some pics of my finger biting. Fish

Nice variety of koi and yep they look like they are having fun w/ your fingers. Thinking they are big fat juicy worms

 

[Donny]

I give my fish worms on sunday , get them at Walmart , They go crazy ! All you have to do is say worms and they start splashing around , lol

 

[j.w]

I don't have koi, I have goldfish and they too love the worms. Funny when 2 of them get one end in each of their mouths and yank

Welcome Donny we have two in our own pond who are both 27 years old so yours have a ways to go yet , did you know if properly looked after they can live to be 80+ years or more in age ?
How long have you been keeping koi may I ask ?
If you like feeding your koi alternates to your daily pelleted feed please feel free to check out this thread we did some time ago now :-

In the summer you cant beat it Donny but in the winter months in the UK ours go under wraps again until the spring do you have much in the way of a working knowledge of koi health issues or wish to learn ?
