Koi Breeding

    

     

Many koi enthusiasts eventually become 'experts' at acquiring and caring for good koi and soon look for new challenges in the hobby.  These hobbyists invariably find themselves trying a hand at koi breeding.  And by 'koi breeding' we don't simply mean waiting for your koi to spawn in the pond and give you fry.  We mean being able to control the reproduction in such a way that a high yield of good quality koi fry results from your efforts.

  

Koi breeding is not rocket science, but it does entail a certain level of  skill and know-how, not to mention hard work and patience.  Luck is also needed, since one soon finds out that no matter how good the parents are, not all koi fry are born to be future champions.  In fact, only a very small percentage is, despite good-quality parents.

  

But this is what makes koi breeding exciting.  Not everyone can be good at it.  The uncertainty that comes with it makes the prize of successfully producing beautiful koi fry even much sweeter.  And financially rewarding too.  In fact, many enthusiasts who eventually realize that they are good at breeding koi soon find themselves immersed in an enterprise doing what they love most - producing and caring for beautiful koi and getting paid handsomely at that. 

    

 

Well, who knows - koi breeding might be for you.  Below are some articles that deal with koi breeding that we hope you'll take some time to read.
