I want to know what healthy food from kitchen I can feed 3-4 inch koi for healthy growth and food that is save for them. I have a shredder to make vegetables and fruits into tiny bite size pieces for koi to eat but should I boil them first so it’s soft and mushy for them to eat and digest for 3-4 inch koi fish? Can I also boil protein (chicken, fish , lentils) and shred it for tiny bites for them? Is it safe to feed them this way? And for proper growth? They are indoors now in makeshift tub because raccoons will eat them outside so in a middle of fencing the yard.

Algae help
Hello all, we purchased a house with this koi pond, and have been okay with opening and maintaining. However with rain and sunlight we have huge algae and hair algae problem. I’m looking into uv lights but unsure which ones would work/ install properly. Any recommendations to help would be greatly appreciated thankyou!

I inherited my Dad's beautiful Koi but due to my own health issues I am now looking to sell/rehome them to a better home. I am southern UK based - where would be the safest and best place to market them? And would it be too demanding of me to ask to see the pond of any potential buyers? I just want to make sure they will have a better life or I may as well keep them and keep struggling to maintain! Also, what would a good price be to encourage genuine buyers and deter bad ones who have no knowledge and just see free pretty fish?
There are 18 in total in the pond (the 15 goldfish I have a local pond centre able to take them on), but 3 large koi (I do not know what type they are) around 20-25 years old. I haven't been able to get an idea of their measurement yet but I am confident they are all over 30cm.
