Thanks Newbie.

I haven't been on the boards for a while, sorry guys, I've been busy. My koi are doing well, and becoming very personable. Theres a pond place local, that I've been getting the stuff I need. I feed them 3x a day, but very lightly, and they'll even handfeed! 1 question though about 4 days ago I started seeing baby koi in my pond. Did my koi spawn? Im not sure what these little guys will eat, theres really tiny. My big koi, dont seem to mind them. Will they eat the same pellets as my adults? I noticed a few trying to go after them. They seem to stick around at the coolest side of my pond, the left side. I noticed them going after food, when some floated over there. I was going to buy more koi for my pond, but hopefully now I dont have to!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Unless you already buy the small size pellets, you may pick them up.

It's a dedicated koi pond. It has 2 bottom drains, and is made out of concrete. Im not sure on the exact measurements on the top of my head, but when I told the pond owner he guessed it was about 5,000. I know its 10' long.

I tried crushing the medium sized pellets I give the adults, but Im not sure if they're eating them. They do start swimming toward them when I drop them in though.
