Koi ---HOW TO--- Hand feed your Koi

Most people want to feed their Koi by hand and have them hand tame and not have them swim off scared and at hundred miles an hour around the pond.
So here we have my top 3 tips to help you get your fish to feed out of your hand.

1 - Get yourself a Chagoi
These fish are just driven by food and are usually very tame to start, giving you the perfect clam start to get the other Koi in your pond to feed from your hand.

2 - Stand in the same place to feed the fish
Choose a spot by the side of your pond and this will be the only place you feed the fish. Over time they will associate you standing there with food, which when its hot and theyre mad for food will draw them over to you food or no food they will just expect it

3 - Fast the Koi for 24hours
Again best to do in summer months, but if youre still struggling for the fish to trust you, dont feed them for 24hours. Stand in the designated spot, then have your hand in the water and release a few pellets. You may need to do this a few times but their hunger will out way the fear they have.


Hope this helps. if this is something youve been trying to do, or wondered why you fish dont feed from your hand

Let me know how youre getting on :-)
