Koi fish eggs are the start of new life in your pond. If you come across some newly-hatched eggs nestled on the tip of a pond plant in your backyard, expect to find a population boom within the next few days! Typically, koi eggs will hatch in less than a week. Koi eggs are very small, bead-like specks that can vary from milky white to yellow or green. Upon closer inspection, you can see two black dots through the transparent membrane of the egg. These are the developing eyes of the koi. As you’ll soon find, the this time of hatching is sure to be exciting for both you and the pond!

Feeling a little landlocked in your gardening? Don’t stop the landscaping in your backyard – bring it to the pond! Koi water gardens are a fantastic way to test your green thumb and branch out. Not only are they a beautiful addition to any koi pond, but a water garden is beneficial too! The flowers and greenery will be a welcome addition in your koi’s home.

Koi ponds bring a sense of ease and tranquility to any backyard they grace. Like any body of water, koi ponds can provide a restorative sanctuary to visit and reflect. Having a getaway as small as a koi pond can provide a multitude of health benefits and ease a stressed mind. For the ultimate backyard experience, consider adding a koi pond waterfall. This addition can be simple or elaborate – either way, the benefits for both your pond and yourself are the same.
