Generally, koi can grow to about 20 centimeters in the first year of birth, and if properly fed, it can grow to about 30 centimeters. In the second year, the growth rate will be relatively slow, about 10 centimeters. In the third year and beyond, it will grow by 5-10 centimeters per year. If the living environment is suitable, the life span of Koi can reach more than 70 years, and when it grows to about 10 years, its body length can reach 1-1.5 meters. But after that, it won't grow any longer.
How many centimeters can koi grow in a year and how to accelerate its growth

1. How many centimeters

can Koi grow in a year? The growth rate of Koi is different every year. For example, the one-year-old Koi can grow about 15-20 centimeters in a year. It is also common to grow to 30 centimeters a year if fed properly or if the gene is strong. The growth rate of two-year-old koi will be relatively slow, about 10 centimeters. After the third age, the growth rate is very uniform, generally 5-10 cm. Koi can reach up to 1.5 meters when they are ten years old, but they will not grow any longer after that.

2. How to feed Koi can accelerate growth

1. First of all, the problem of the fish tank, Koi is a large fish, if the fish tank is too small, it will lead to slower development of Koi. Moreover, their activities will be restricted and they will not be beautiful to swim. So it's better to choose a bigger fish tank or fish pond to raise Koi, which will be more conducive to the healthy growth of Koi.

2. The second is feeding. The correct feeding method is to make the koi grow fast. Each feeding needs to be regular and quantitative, 2-3 times a day, the amount of feeding in summer should be relatively reduced, and more feeding can be done in spring and autumn. Each feeding should be large enough for them to eat within half an hour.

3. Finally, the water environment. Koi is a fish that can eat and pull, so it's better to change water frequently, and the temperature difference should not be too big when changing water. If conditions permit, it can be equipped with a circulating filtration system to maintain water quality. The temperature should also be controlled between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, which can speed up the metabolism of Koi, thus promoting its growth.
