Siru S asked:
if i kept 50 koi carp fry in only 250 gallon pond then how big they can be? i don’t want big/a foot long/huge koi. I like 4-5 inch koi. Because small koi looks more beautiful and also keeping big koi are unaffordable for me coz they need lots of food. So, please can any one tell if i kept 50 koi fry in 250 gallon pond then how big they can be and within how many months?

koi can get 3 feet long…
if you’re looking for a ’smaller version’… try shubunkin goldfish, look alot like koi but only get to about 8-10 inches long
50 koi are already overstocked in that tank unless they are litteraly fry (under 2”)
As I said last time you asked this question, those fish are genetically programmed to grow 2ft long or more, your pond is overstocked by quite a long way. They have the potential to reach a foot long within the year, young koi grow quickly. They will experience growth problems, ill health and may also cause water quality problems.
Big gourami had a point with the shubunkins, good idea, they are comet goldfish with koi-like colouration and max out at 12-14.
