Myxocyprinus asiaticus-Feeding

I've been maintaining this pond for close to 20 years. Can't remember exactly when I threw the Chinese HiFin Banded Shark in but I'm thinking 10 years ago. There is only a single one left in a large koi pond. In the first video you can see the grazing marks on the pond wall. You can see the large area a single shark covers.

Wow nice plenty to eat and the Chinese Hifin and Koi look great.

Has to be a koi. I never sneak predatory fish in people's ponds.....yet.

10 years old and still has juvenile features?! That’s gotta be the slowest maturing species of all.

Added new one last year.

That's awesome!

I was surprised the camera was able to capture the sound of them eating. I vacuum at least 5 gallons/week of algae out of this pond. Algae growth have subsided since rainy season is over.
