Water Temperature
Much faster, right? That has a lot to do with a warmer and consistent temperature. Scientific studies have shown that the ideal water temperature range for your koi's maximum growth are between 75 -80 degrees.
Temperature is one of the critical factors directly influencing every aspect of our Koi and pond life. Temperature has a direct bearing on metabolic rates of living organisms in the pond. It has a direct bearing on the health and growth of Koi, oxygen levels in the water as well as the oxygen consumption.
There are however, upper and lower limits to what can be considered good or ideal water temperatures. As temperatures rise so does the rate of growth of our Koi. Up to a certain point this is true, but beyond a certain point as temperatures rise, the oxygen saturation levels of water declines. At about 28°C there is no further point in trying to achieve higher water temperature as the amount of oxygen that can be dissolved in the water becomes the limiting factor in conversion of food to growth.
On the other end of the scale below 10°C metabolism is reduced to the point where the body is hardly functioning. Below 5°C Koi go into hibernation. And at around 2°C for any length of time the fish are close to death.
As water temperatures decline body activity decreases. At or around 12°C the Koi's metabolism is reduced to the point where the immune system has virtually shut down. Oxygen and food requirements are greatly reduced. Food should be withdrawn at or around 10°C. The blood supply moves slowly around the body. This shut-down is not a switch on or off at a certain temperature, it is a gradual change. Different Koi have different tolerances. Some will be more affected by temperatures than others.
Although pathogenic organisms are also slower in their infection rates at lower temperatures, when introduced into the system, they can be still be deadly as Koi are almost incapable of fighting infection at low temperatures. An advantage of low temperatures is that not only the Koi have decreased activity so does everything else (such as pathogens).
Thanks for watching!

Thanks man they've grown verry big
My pleasure
Love this just what I'm wanting to do
I can help :)
Some good information thank you.
My pleasure mate, thanks for the support
@@TheBaldingReefer I’m still learning, always a lot to learn, Iv struggle with some things and have to go back, it’s all because or side affects from my brain tumour, I’m all clear now but have to live with the side affects so will watch lots are learn along the way.
Hey there, just checked out some of your vids. Like what I saw! I got directed here by lampymallard. I'm defenetly subbing to the channel mate! Greetz from belgium
Aup vertigo! Welcome to the club my friend! A friend of lampys is a friend of mine!
Great growing tips. I have got some fry from last June that have outgrown the aquarium I have put them in and wondering where you got the black plastic tank?
Was on Facebook marketplace buddy
@@TheBaldingReefer Ok cheers, will see if I can find one as looks a great size! Will check out your food.
Legend buddy will be in the website soon
The declorinator? are you talking about a liquid chemical, or is it mechanical apparatus?
Wow nice idol
super helpful mate stunning koi in that tank
Some gems in amongst em mate isn't there
@@TheBaldingReefer there is mate
would be great for a dechlorantor video and how much flow it should be set at would be amazing
I can get that done mate!
Hi, what do you think of feeding the koi quality grain bread.
Mine go mad for it, they also get floating pellets and flake.
Thinking of maggots to.
Never tried the grain bread, but will give it a whirl! Floating pellets are awesome, dried mealworms and freeze dried shrimp is also a good one!!
Maggots have near zero nutrition, I carp fish and they are banned in alot of places due to the ammonia levels produce and the fact carp can become preoccupied on them and stop eating regular food. Id avoid for koi 🙂
I've learned something new there!
Please do show how to properly filter tap water where its safe, i attempted to use some dechlorinator liquid but i only ended up stressing out my koi
Did you dose the correct amount of declorinator buddy
@@TheBaldingReefer i used the whole bottle
Great vid my friend.. I am really enjoying your vids..
Good info..
Cheers Chris mate!
@@ACKoi
Haha.. Thanks buddy.. Hope all is well
Quick question for you my friend, is there a limit to the amount of flow? I’m using a pond filter (APS uv pond filter) to filter a big tank, the carp I have in there are about 5 inches or I’m not sure if it’s a little too much flow for them?
No mate as long as there is resting spaces for the fish you'll be fine
@@TheBaldingReefer moved the flow so it’s all going in one direction and they’re happy as Larry, I think before the flow was hitting the glass and making it like the North Sea 🤣👍🏻
Hahaha the better then mate
Hey man.. shot alot for the vid :)
I kept tropical fish as a youngster..
At a stage i had 2 4ft tanks, 3 x 3ft tanks and some smaller ones..
Havent kept fish in years.
Built a 1000 litre ibr koi pond with gravity flow filter... water is supplied from rain water tank..
Thinking of growing a couple koi nice and quick and biggish.. sell them and maybe setup a spawing tank...
Could you suggest how many koi i can squeeze in to get this project going quick? I got 5 lil baby koi so far. They happy.. sitting in 250litres.. waiting for rain. Only got this project going yesterday ..
When both the 100litre (900 where ill be on my level) and the 250 litre are full ill dump and fill fresh.. dry season ill fill the 250l leave it for a week and then pump it over..
But ya.. the biggest question.. how many koi..?
Thanks again
Hi mate, that sounds an awesome set up! A customer of mine has about 800 fry in the ibc tote, but when they get to an inch he puts them in a bigger pond
Hi mate. Just tried to go to your website and its not working. Is your site down?
Yes mate taken it down currently tly due to the amount of new products being added
If you message me on Facebook mate or email me at thebaldingreefer@gmail.com I can't sort out what you were after
yo where did u get those tubs
Facebook market place mate
Have you upgraded your camera? Quality seems much better mate.
Just started doing it in 4k mate
Very informative as always, leant something new again
Cheers pops! Glad your learning from the uoads
So koi like warm water? I own Goldfish so I dont have experience with Koi
Koi are cold water too but like warm water to grow fast
@@TheBaldingReefer thanks, do you think I should make a koi with Warm water and away from Goldfish untill I'm happy with growth💯
It's crazy their colour goes by temperature, is it the colder the water the less colour?
They will hold colour on a big fish, but on fry like these you want the colour to develop faster
April sent me
Thank you :)
Fountain of knowledge...excellently put across even to me who doesn’t keep koi 👍
Cheers si! How you doing mate?
@@TheBaldingReefer all good bud, new tank coming next week as discussed 👍
Niceeeeee
This year will prob be the first year I may try and get my koi to spawn... Working out who is male and female is still giving me problems though. I've identified what I think are a few males but knowing my luck I probably have a pond full of dudes not ladies 🤣
I'm about to spawn next week mate so stage one will be up soon! I'll go through sexing koi etc on them too, plus you can always call me!
Sounds like a plan Budd, I've found the best way for me to look is usually by using the go pro to film them up close underwater, trying to net them in my pond is a nightmare as they just go deep and I end up stressing them. So I look forward to your video it will be super helpful... I may have to grab a female off you at somepoint too just as an excuse for a new koi really 😉
Have you got a link to the dechlorinator and the pump pal?
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XXMXR38/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_WG4TWTZ35MN0FHVRRQHB
That's the declorinator mate
Thank you mate what about the pump also have you got a website I can buy the koi food from pal?
www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/filter-pump-fountain-uv/
Here you go mate, and are you on Facebook? Search the balding reefer on there and drop me a message mate as its going on my website tomorrow buddy
Thanks a lot pal and yeah I’ll drop you a message on it now
Your web site just sells merchandise not koi food
It's in the process of being updated buddy
Jack are you at the farm tomorrow and if so can you send me the post code . So we can come and see you John & Aysha
