0:20
video will guide you through the process
0:21
of breeding koi fish with long fins from
0:24
choosing parent fish to raising the fry
0:27
the first step in breeding long fin KO
0:29
is is selecting appropriate parent fish
0:32
look for healthy koi with desirable
0:34
traits particularly those with
0:36
noticeably longer fins the Fage should
0:38
be proportional to the body and free
0:40
from defects choose mature COA that are
0:43
at least 3 years old and in good
0:46
condition remember genetics play a
0:48
crucial role so research the lineage of
0:51
your potential breeding pair if possible
0:53
creating optimal breeding conditions is
0:56
essential for successful spawning
0:57
prepare a separate breeding Pond or tank
0:59
with with clean well oxygenated water
1:02
the ideal temperature for breeding is
1:05
between 20 and 25° cus install spawning
1:09
brushes or mats for the female to lay
1:11
her eggs on ensure the environment is
1:14
stress free and mimics the Ko's natural
1:17
habitat as closely as possible the
1:19
spawning process typically occurs in
1:22
spring when water temperatures rise
1:24
place the selected male and female KO in
1:27
the breeding Pond the male will chase
1:28
the female in encouraging her to release
1:31
her eggs this process can be quite
1:33
vigorous so monitor the fish to ensure
1:36
they don't become overly stressed or
1:38
injured once the female releases her
1:40
eggs the male will fertilize them
1:42
externally after spawning carefully
1:45
remove the parent fish from the breeding
1:47
Pond to prevent them from eating the
1:49
eggs the fertilized eggs will adhere to
1:51
the spawning brushes or mats keep the
1:54
water clean and well oxygenated during
1:56
the incubation period which usually
1:58
lasts about 4 to days depending on the
2:01
water temperature once the eggs hatch
2:03
the tiny koi fry will require special
2:06
care feed them infusoria or commercially
2:09
available fried food for the first few
2:11
days and as they grow gradually
2:13
introduce larger food particles maintain
2:16
excellent water quality and perform
2:18
regular water changes to ensure Healthy
2:20
Growth as the young koi develop observe
2:23
them closely for signs of the long fin
2:25
trait this characteristic may not be
2:27
immediately apparent and can take
2:29
several months to fully manifest select
2:32
the koi with the most promising thin
2:34
development for further breeding or as
2:36
show specimens continue to provide
2:38
optimal care including a balanced diet
2:41
and clean living conditions to support
2:44
their growth breeding koi fish with long
2:46
fins is a rewarding process that
2:48
requires dedication and attention to
2:50
detail by carefully selecting parent
2:52
fish creating ideal breeding condition
2:55
and providing attentive care to the eggs
2:57
and Fry you can increase your chances of
2:59
producing beautiful long fin kaii
3:02
remember that achieving the perfect long
3:05
fin KO may take several generations of
3:08
selective breeding so patience is key in
3:11
this fascinating endeavor
