I’ve been asked this question more than anything lately…
do I regret selling my koi and changing the direction of my pond completely?
In this video I finally answer that question, explain why I made the decision, and show you how things are progressing now we’re fully into the journey. You’ll also get a winter look at how the carp are settling in, what I’m feeding, how often I’m feeding, and how my son and I are taking on the challenge of trying to grow a 40lb carp in a koi pond environment.
This wasn’t a decision made lightly. After years of growing koi to impressive sizes, I decided to start a completely new chapter, replacing them with carp and documenting the journey as a father and son project. So… was it the right move, or a BIG mistake?
I also share a quick look at the filtration changes, including filling the bio-chamber with K+ media, and what’s coming next for the pond.
If you’ve ever wondered about keeping carp in a koi pond, feeding for growth, or making a big change to your setup, this one’s for you.
