Hi everyone,
I have a fish in my tank at home which has been growing at quite a fast rate about 10mm per month I suspect the fish is a female Koi Carp. It was originally purchased as a feeder fish, my yabby (freshwater crayfish) wasnt interested in eating the fish instead the fish eats anything in sight and continually sifts through the gravel in the tank in seach of food. it also grazes on water plants including broad leaf plants. The fish looks like the ones pictured (esp the silver one) at this link I found http://www.harbinson.fslife.co.uk/koi2.jpg Question how big can these fish get, or how likely is it to continue growing like this? Currently its about 12cm long. Im at the point where I need to decide to get a bigger tank / or maybe a pond (cant really afford new tank & filter etc) or find a new home for the fish. thanks scott |
