Hi to all, I'm Spudgun from West Yorkshire, UK. I've just joined the forum. I've been and pond and coldwater fish owner for about 8 years now. I look forward to reading all your posts :up:

Welcome aboard! Great looking pond. Those are some big Koi you have there. How old are they?

Yeah they look really nice how big are they?

Hi spudgun, glad to have more people from the UK here!

Hi all, thanks for such a warm welcome :D

I'll let you into a secret and spoil all my street cred! The biggest koi is only between 4 and 5lb's in weight. It's my pride and joy though and very healthy.

How large do they get?

Spudgun - March 17, 2007 01:33 PM (GMT)
Hard question to answer that but I think in perfect conditions about 50lb in weight, which is some fish! B) A lot depends on the size of the pond to. The larger the pond, the larger the adult Koi will ultimately end up.

Very nice, the one on the far left is VERY beautiful.

4 to 5 lbs is still pretty big. Most people only have 2 pounders or less, unless they are seious hobbyists, or just plain lucky.
