Hand feeding large white butterfly koi in backyard garden pond
My large butterfly koi likes to be hand fed. He is a big one to feed! Lacey is outside again to watch 🙂 Thanks for watching! Please comment, rate and subscribe 🙂 #laceyshihtzu #laceyshihtzu
what were you feeding your big guy ? i got a bigger pond and some koi it is 133 gallons hoping for a 1000 gallon in a few years i am going to convert a stock tank into a pond so looking foward to that day i so enjoy watching my fish and your pond looks great as usual and lacey is such a cutie !
I feed my large guy koi treats from Foster and Smith's online store. They are fairly large, so I break them in half. Good luck with your future pond! Lacey sends her love 😉
He seems to be very attached to you 🙂 I got 3 butterfly koi in a large tank in my house only had them for a month but they love to be hand feed their pellets 🙂
Thank you! I just feed the large white butterfly koi the same as the rest of the fish. Mainly a summer food with more protein. Of course I make sure that the big guy gets a lot more of the food! Sometimes I feed him a large "koi cookie"
Believe it or not, I really do not add any chemicals to our pond. I did in the beginning, about 14 years ago. Now the pond is so balanced, it just takes are of itself. We have a skimmer that helps with the leaves and junk. In the fall, we put a net over the pond to keep the leaves out. Thanks for watching! 🙂
lacey, I love your fish, and we just moved to a house that has a koi pond,, I just bought a big koi,, and would love to know where you get those koi "cookies". mine would love them. thanks, Bevi
Good luck to you in your new house and with your koi pond! I purchased some koi treats on the Drs. Foster and Smith website. They have great deals. Thanks for watching!
My large butterfly koi is now around 19 to 20 years old! I do believe that the larger the pond, the better – especially for koi, they need a lot of room. Also, they need deep water. My pond is 3 1/2 feet deep. Lots of aeration such as a waterfall and fountain. They eat any type of fish food, although koi food would be best. Lots of winter hardy plants. I do not use any chemicals, the pond is completely natural 😉

Thanks Lacey, I will go there and look. We moved from Det. to out in the country, are both in our 60's and just love it.. Thanks again.
hahaha aww I love it so much. it sort of sounded like he was snorting. 🙂
Yes, that big fish is really something. He always makes a lot of noise when he eats!
Could you give me 5 tips to helping me have a healthy koi? Space? Aeration? Food? What has helped you? He's gorgeous!

What do you do when the climate changes? Where do you put them when it's winter time?
