i have a baby koi, like less than 2 inches... im wondering if they can identify their caretakers... coz they are funny, whenever i come home from work the moment i call their names and go near the aquarium they always swim erratically like they are excited to see me 😊

Interesting, keep going
Never been able to identify male or female just like that, only when the female have her belly full of eggs

For these people who are hand breeding koi, how do you control what colors you're going to get? I see a lot of videos on how to hand breed koi, lots of information on how to do it, but not any many videos on the results. What the fry look like. Where does a person go to get information on breeding for colors?

It's cold at 55 degrees? That's not even close to cold where I'm from

Hello!
Recently I fell in love with Koi fish. I'm from Panama and seems they are not that common. I live in a tiny apartment don't have space for a pond =) I found a pet store were they sell them (probably not so good as this ones but still very beautiful) they say I can have them in fish tanks? Can I? How should I take care of them on fish tanks? They are very small.

great video .My koi are just cheap mutts at 2 dollars a piece because guy told me they were ugly for his standards .My male and female eat the same Bertram likes to be petted just like Agatha ,They think they are dogs

Thank you very much, your video is very useful, but I think if your video has the conclution text in before ending so I think it's better.

Thank you again and nice to meet you (I'm a veterinay student from thailand who very interested your videos and website :))

Please soutirage français

Would the feeding behavior differential also apply to Shubunkins and Comets?
