Question I received lately: I have Koi and Goldfish. I feed them daily. Why don’t I have babies?

Pondladay sez: Chances are the fish are eating their babies. They are not good parents.
You must feed koi. Goldfish can exist and live well eating off the plants in the pond….unless you have koi who will eat them all.

The more you feed them, the bigger they get and the hungrier they get. Sooner

or later your bio-load will be too heavy and your biggest fish will die, but in the meantime, your fish will eat every baby they catch.
