I dont know if I feed them alot, but I do feed them quite a bit. twice a day, with good portions

they probly only a couple months old..i bought mine at 1mnth (so the lfs said)

I am gonna get him some red roseys tomorrow petsmart has them for 12 cents a piece. I will fatten them up in a 29 gal before giving to him though.

 

[DeFeKt]

just be careful, took me 2 weeks to get mine to eat pellets, after they had been living on live food..
I have a relative who breeds koi, when he culls his tank i usually get stuck with around 300 baby koi to keep for feeding.. probly start breeding them myself soon..
