Nice, what classification of koi is this one:

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=28965

[J11MTP]

Classification - Utsurimono (roughly meaning "reflections")
Type - "Shiro Utsuri" bread by Omosako

[Joshy]

I like them a lot! A pond of them with 'Hi utsuri' and a few 'Ki utsuri' would look hot!

[midnight]

Nice, what classification of koi is this one:
ya that one is nice. :)

im pretty sure the first koi is a female because of the size of her stomach, as far as classification go, your guess is as good as mine. And get some butterfly koi they are the coolest =P

The big female in the second pic is pushing 42'' so that gives you an idea of the size of the koi. Ages range from 1 year to 8.

I want a Koi pond. That's the first thing I do to my yard when I buy a house.

[Peter McFarlane]

I've kept fish outdoors for around 10 years or so, koi,goldfish,orfes,,roach,tench and my prized possession is Sidney the sturgeon. I built the pond with my brother, and we'd never built a pond before so please don't be too critical. Also I don't use a UV anymore, the ponds very natural, don't do much to maintain it except clean the pump/filter etc and scoop and leafs/scum off the top.

Thanks midnight.
My main computer with the zillions of good stuff, (photos) has died. I did just pull this photo from our site though. Its our biggest mud pond. All the rest are much smaller. All of our ponds are mud ponds with the exception of just one.

Thanks, Mike

I just moved so I only have a small QT tank and lots of aquariums going. I'm still working out the exact location in the backyard for the new pond and the size I can get away with. :naughty:

Anyway here are some babies (6-8inches aquarium size) and a few big guys.

[koigirlfl]

Finally found a card with pictures of my pond in Houston. It was stocked with butterfly that grew from 6inches to 18inches lots of cherry barbs and mollies. It was in the front yard, so I had to build up a berm to hide it from the street. Later on I got smart and added waterfalls, the pics of that are on a different card.

Thank you for the compliment. I am very pleased with these kids also...

[chesterfieldzoo]

Here are some of mine.
The dogs swim with the koi all the time. Obviously the fish don't care. They like to pull the dogs' tails.
Fish in the pond at work. The butterflys are 3 years old.

[hankn]

Chesterfieldzoo, Cool fish and c00l dogs! But must be frozen over quite a bit in the winter in your neck of the woods.

[black peter]

hey chesterfieldzoo - that picture with the dogs is really great!!! :)Nice sanke koi also....

[chesterfieldzoo]

The outdoor pond is only partly iced over. I have a heater in the pond to keep the ice from forming in the river or getting too thick on the main part of the pond. Thick ice really plays hell with concrete. However the heater plays hell with the electric bill....but how can you put a price on precious babies?

I have 2500g outside and instead of heater i am using air pump that is in my basement( 75F) that is pushing the warm air into the water with help of two 12" air stones.today is 19F and still no ice.The cost is $5 a month.However the moist air from my basement becomes ice over time and blocks the tube so once a week i have to dip the tube in warm water and blow it,but that is it.

Silenttear,

Can you state how large your pond is and how large your lovely koi are? They look to be about 40"!

[silenttears]

The biggest one is probably about 24" maybe a little bit bigger (the bright sparkly orange one. And the pond is 800 gal., but in the process of extending the pond which will make it 2000 gal. hopefully it will all be finished in about a couple of months.

[NOLAGT]

Here are mine...first pic of them...just got them over the weekend. They are starters in my new pond and are only about 4"

Here are a few of our breeder Kohaku being released back into their spawning pond earlier this year. The pond was drained a month or so earlier and cleaned out a bit. The Kohakus were housed in a greenhouse and checked for any possible parasites. In the photo they are only a few weeks off before spawning occures.
