- Why do Koi grow so fast in a mud pound? (Natural pond) + Examples
Last October I made a number of videos about jumbo Koi who came from the mudpond. In this episode I explain why Koi grow so fast in a mud pound. I show you images of Koi breeders how they do this in Japan.
Before a Koi can reach a certain size they stay in the mud pond for some seasons. Let start at the beginning.

In the summer the temperatures in Niigata rise high, while in winter huge amounts of snow fall. An ideal combination for growing Koi. I explain why:
It is now mid February and the breeders are selling their one year old Koi to their customers from around the world. During this time of the year, the breeders can do little work outside like the snow removal. Inside, the work continues and the breeders slowly prepare for the new season.
In winter, up to 4 of snow can fall in this area. Niigata also has one of the most popular ski areas in Japan.
During the months of March and April, the meters of snow that have fallen into the empty mud ponds melt. During the spring, the mud ponds fill with fresh and ice-cold melt water. When the sun warms the water, the growers can start preparing for the first Koi in the mud ponds.
First the smallest Koi and after that the larger ones. There can sometimes be weeks or even months in between. The reason? Smaller fish can do more against the temperature fluctuations during the first spring months than the bigger Koi.
During the hot summer months the fish grow very fast. In addition to feeding koi food, the Koi make optimal use of the many natural food sources such as shrimps, frogs and other high-protein foods. But there is another reason why this Koi grow so fast in a mud pond.
Niigata is known for its rich clay soils. The large presence of minarals and vitamins ensure that the Koi can develop optimally. A supply of fresh water and you have created the ideal growing environment for a fish.
It is now October, for every dealer and grower exciting times. The fish that were allowed to grow in the mudpond have grown enormously depending on their age. The younger the fish the more growth they get. When the Koi gets older they grow at a slower pace.
From all over the world dealers and hobbyists come to see which results their fish and those of the breeders have achieved. A whole happening where it is a party to see the Koi of very high quality at their very best.
After the nets against predators as bears and according to its removed start catching the fish. A precise job where a mistake produces the same extra work. Time that the growers desperately need during the harvest season.
When all fish are caught, they go to the greenhouses. Here all fish are checked for length, quality and health. The fish are also offered here for sale. If they are not sold, they will continue swimming in the winter waiting for a new potential owner.

Really enjoyed this video! It has a different feel than other videos! That gin rin kohaku at the end was amazing😍
Thank you for the feedback. It is always hard to make the best videos. Thank you so much!
I have the same feeling. I enjoyed the video.
Thank you! 💙
Who watches but never makes? #bestaqua
The Koi Partner how should I feed my koi in aquarium that it develop eggs ? Its 3 year old and male chase her but she doesn't lay egg and she doesn't have big belly
1:24 wow that would make a nice wallpaper.
Hahah yes Lem Lee, it is so nice there during the winter time
I had the same thought..☺
Take a screen shot.
Hahahaha
The subscribe now is visible if you screenshot it.
Many individuals commonly believe that a transparent pond provides an ideal habitat for koi fish, whereas carps thrive and develop in muddy surroundings. Enjoyed watching the video!
The perfect place to evolve your Pokemon
hahah, old and good times
Idiot
Donnie Y. No u
This just made my day.
@@donniey.8891 fuck off
Unused rice padies seem like a great place to do this😉🔥🔥🔥
Hahah, do you think? :P
What a great video. Very different from the others but a true pleasure to watch. Thanks for keeping us informed on the mud pond growths.
I did not know I had an interest in these amazingly beautiful fish until I watched one of your videos, now I can't get enough of them. I have a lot of questions but I'm sure you will answer them all if I watch more of your videos. Thank you for your time and information. I have subscribed. Cheers from Australia. :)
thanks
It's so refreshing to see how you are so gentle with your fish, I've seen other vids where they pick up the fish and throw into the other container
im a dog person but idk why fishes give me this relaxing feeling or maybe because my father use to have Asian Arowana when i was young i get to use to seeing fish swimming around
Thank you so much for reaching out!
You caught Burst Arowana
@@KnuxSD monster hunter 🤣
did he have a permit? lol
Hahah yes
Those Koi are so adorable sloshing around in those tubs. They're like puppies. Slippery, limb-less. Puppies.
@Justine Kitchen is it because they grow fast and consume eat alot of other creatures quickly ?
I find some of these videos so relaxing...!
Good vid
Fantastic video!
Magikarp uses Splash.
It does nothing.
SoaringMediocrity hahaha good old times
Lol
I want to hug one of these fish!
We can make that happen :P
I’m sure the fish would be hugging you instead 😂
Thank you for made such a wonderful video .
Enjoyed your video
I am extremely grateful for All the Amazing Videos you post - high quality and informative.
Hi Elliot, I am extremely thankful you have reached out to my Channel with this kind words! Thanks buddy! 🏆
I didnt know koi can get this big
They can get more than 100 cm :)
Some were the size of my beagle 0_0
I was thinking the same thing!
Mine is only 6-7 inches right now. Hes on a 30 gallon but im about to change him to a 55. Hopefully a 90 not long after that
Koi are a type of carp, and some of those can get as big as a human.
Amazing kois.....thanks for sharing thru this video....
Very good job sir!
I never knew koi fish can grow that big 😲 Amazing video thank you for sharing!
it feels good to watch that, i have no idea why.
Hello Adrien, thank you so much for reaching out.
I LOVE THE FISH AT 5:17!!! SO PRETTY
Thank you for reaching out
It has a penis on its back
Fascinating. Thank you for posting this. Learned something new. :)
Hello Ardenwolfe, thanks for reaching out and your nice comment
Very good video 👌🏽
I have a red and white koi, that has lived in my 5 acre lake for 10 years or so. We call him the whale as he has grown into a giant. He shares it with large mouth bass, minnows, bluegill and catfish. Not to mention the turtles and frogs that live there. When ever someone sees him they are not sure what they're looking at. He was thrown out there with 5 or 6 different colored companions. Were not sure where the others went to.
Same here. Amazing to see them grow.
I am amazed that general Koi owners would be mortified to see their water look this murky! Yet, this is exactly what allows them to grow with the proper nutrients of the soil in Japan! Astounding. You answered my question of why they grow so large in a mud pond! Thanks
Thank you for reaching out
Very informative. I wish I had a mud pond! Lovely fish
Loved the video.
Thank you Sue
I have a butterfly koi but she’s huge her tail is at least 1 foot in all she’s 5 feet (golden black butterfly koi)
Mine is as big as a horse
@@jazldazl9193 mine like elephant
Amateurs i own a blue whale
I had a natural mud pond in my house in Florida and would buy the koi at Petco small and they would get so big and beautiful after a while. Now I understand why...
Really enjoyed this video! It has a different feel than other videos!
Such beautiful healthy fish. Thank you for video.
Such beautiful creatures :)
Hello michael a, thank you so much!
I live on a private lake and have a 3000 gallon koi pond. We pump water from the lake to the pond over waterfall and then it flows back out into the lake. So it's always getting fresh water pumped into it. Currently we have 200 koi in the pond six large ones and the rest medium to small size. They grow fast. I have to keep a net over the pond to keep the blue herons out.
WoW! 😍
I admire your passion in the hobby. And awesome detail with visual.
Beautiful! I am glad to learn that my koi will grow a lot the first couple years!
I could just stare at a koi all day.
Hello Mada, me too! I love staring at them all day
I could batter and fry them all day. Mmmmm tastes like chicken.
@@muddyriverdogz Ok then
Wow! That ginrin kohaku developed really well. Congratulations!
Thnx David
Nice vid
Thanks for the awesome video!! That Gin Rin Kohaku was BEAUTIFUL!! 👍🏼😁👍🏼
Thanks buddy for reaching out to me 🎉
Man those are some THICC fish!
Haha Some one needs to explain me the T H I C C shortcut
Hi, I have a 4000gal pond and am currently using 3 55gal drums for my filter system. The first drum has flocor media, the second has K1 (both for machanical filtration), the third has K1 and K1 micro for biological filtration with air rotation. It’s time to upgrade to a more efficient system. What system would you recommend. If you could suggest an high end and a medium range that would be most appreciated
Love this Channel 👍🏻👍🏻
Love your comment bro! Thanks for watching my videos and taking the time to reach out to me! 🏆
It's like raising flowers with fins! Inspiring! Great video.
Here in North Yorkshire in the UK there is a small duck pond. Someone put some Koi in it at one point and they just live wild. They are up to 1m long in size and look unreal how big they have gotten.
4:05 wtf I never expect a koi fish can be that big
Game & Music yea me neither
Game & Music i read this story back then that koi used to be humongous and japanese/chinese people if im not mistaken, see them as a divine animal and bring fortune if you take care of them
It's a carp, carp just grow with little care to expectations.
It's a crap fish, I mean carp. They eat anything.
Great work man, ziet er super nice uit
I’ve been watching this for a few days and have become mesmerized with the time and care of these beautiful fish. I’ve even picked out several from different farms lol.
Thanks for the videos, keep it up.
Glad you enjoy it!
I live in the northern regions of USA. And we have excessive snow here and blizzards during the winter months. Pretty much all the same time as japan I have a few Koi that I would definitely like to grow out like this during the summer time. And yes, it does get pretty hot. Most likely will try and simulate a koi mud pond using melted snow water from the winter and the same clay they have in the mud ponds in japan with a bit of aeration and floating plants for ammonia and nitrate control.
wow very interesting, I had no idea about this technique, it seems like these same principles can be applied to farming fish for food?
Hello __, well not at all. But I get your point. The Koi breeders try to let them grow with their health as most important factor. So they let them grow slower to prevent health Issues.
beautiful!
Another excellent video.
Thank you so much Ray Kelly!
Damn, its have been my dream to be a koi breder,
Great vid man, keep up the.good work
Thank you for your nice comment Immanuel
Damn, The one year old koi is bigger than my 3 year old koi.
😜
Great video, with some great koi! The skin quality is top notch when they come out of mud pond, amazing! :-)
Amazing
Is soil really compulsory for the fish to grow that big
Spoiler: The fish that was selected to grow well in its environment grows well in its environment. Anyway lol, this video was really interesting, thanks for posting!
Thank you John!
Hello from Los Angeles ! 😊 Thank - you for this very informative and great video - subscribed !!! Wishing you tremendous success with your channel and looking forward to your videos so i can learn more and more about these wonderful animals 😊💖👍 !!
Thank you so much for you amazing comment! Take care
I love Koi. How I wish I can make my own pond in the Philippines. Particularly in Davao City. Thank you very much for sharing your skills with us! I love it!!!
it because they are not exploiting enviroment, the breeding method goes with natural enviroment, hence it needs longer time (>3 yrs) until it can be farmed.
woah this was uploaded on my birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy B day buddy!
thx that was 1 month ago tho
I love seeing your videos, they are all different about foods peoples ponds as well about buying KOI in Japan and shows as well
🙏
oh my god.. loe it... thank for sharing..
Way im I watching this at 3am?!
teun schuur because it is never to early to watch my videos buddy 😜
Cuz thats a big ass fish
Hahah
You are a fish
Jason Lee ☺️
My Koi so big, I have to keep it on a leash when outside.
Very interesting
lovely
I love koi
Me 2 Marcus
HI . Does Water chemistry in different Countries affect the koi ability to grow.
Hello again, such a good question. For sure the quality of the water is so important. Try to keep as close as you can to nature standards.
Wow.. nice
Your videos got a thumbs up. 👍 I think the Coi are beautiful fish with awesome patterns and I live their colors of orange and white or red and white. They are truly a beautiful 🐡
that just good feng shui
The koi Colors are amazing, they look so clean an crisp.
I thought that because their environment is dark and muddy that their colors would reflect that.
Thank you Buh, they are amazing in the end ;)
Excellent video really enjoyed it some big and beautiful koi 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching 😃
Beautiful
What is the use of koi fish
Enjoying! :)
My Koi is very small. I always imagine it as a very cute and soft sound character 😊
But a “REALLY BIG KOI” calling me dad?
Imagine saying “Papa” in the Most Manliest way possible that can describe it 😱😅
Hahaha, I get your point amigo ;)
That's so weird 🤣I like it
This kind of solves what I had been wondering! The largest koi I have seen are housed in muddy and turbid lakes or ponds. Those that I have encountered in clear ponds seems to be smallish in appearance.
Waowww... good..👍💯
Koi can live in any mud pond ??
Hello Aquatic Dude, sure! If there is enough oxygen supply and fresh water it is possible. Offcourse there needs to be food supply natural or given by humans. Just like carp they could live in most of the open waters. Cheers Yvo
Can this implimented with tillapia and carp?
The first one I dont know how the growing proces will be the best. Carp for sure
@@TheKoiPartner that's awesome I want to try various methods to raise tilapia carp on Basa. So any growing method if different could give me an advantage
Those are gorgeous looking koi!
Min Lee thanks 🏆
It has to be one of the best things in my recommendation.. ☺️
No way, realy? Tell me more 😅
Once again proved all precious things were coming from mud, even human also.
What are the track names?
5:00? (Hip-hop beat)
5:21? (Lounge)
And the others?
Perfect
Edward White thanks for reaching out
This was a great video! Wish I lived in Japan, I'd love to visit the the koi ponds.
Hello Austin well that is my dream to
what the best food for growing up koi?
how much a day?
Hello Dramatic Carry, the best Koi Food I can advise is Hikari or ProBites. Just feed them according to the tempratures in your country. All food suppliers will have a good schedule for you if you ask or look at their website.
What is the live food recommended for koi?
my two koi murdered one goldfish, i made a mistake keeping them in one place. lesson learnt
Yep especially when the goldfish is small XD
dude awesome channel!
Thank you my friend for reaching out
Awesome fish
Jobless Pinoy thank you!
These are the kinds of ponds that turn magikarps into gyradoses
Chef Number 1⃣ hahaha
Those released(all) has 100% survival rate ??
Panic Button nope, how smaller the fish how bigger the chance something could happen. But there is a loss rate from about 2-4% on a mud pond of 50 Koi
I like the music on your video very cool.
Thank you so much
Beautiful job ❤️
Thank you Lanee,
Question. What happens when you azukari fish dies or gets lost?
Johnson Gotamco azukari is at your OWN risk. Some breeders replace the Koi if it dies in the first year. It also depend on the relationship you gave with the breeder
Sooo.. Why exactly do koi fish grow much bigger in mud pond?..
Delvengeance Vengeance space, food supply and tempratures
awesome vid
Thank you so much
The tiny ones are so cute... 🤗
