Do carp grow fast? How much weight can they grow in a year?

Carp is a fish that grows relatively fast, and generally gains between 1-4 catties per year. Generally, farmed carp grow faster, and may gain 4 catties per year, while wild carp grow slower, and may only gain 1-2 kg per year. In addition, their growth rates are different at different stages of growth. They grow fast before the age of 5, and may gain 3-4 catties per year, and then grow slowly. After they are fully grown, they will almost stop growing.

1. Does carp grow fast? Carp is a common freshwater fish. There are many wild carps in my country's rivers, fish ponds, and reservoirs. In addition, carp can also be artificially cultivated. Judging from their growth rate, carp is a very fast-growing fish. However, in order for them to grow fast, certain conditions must be met. When there is sufficient food and the environmental factors are relatively suitable, carp grows very fast; when there is not enough food or sometimes the environment is not suitable, the growth rate of carp will be affected to a certain extent. Therefore, in general, artificially cultivated carp grow faster than wild ones because the environment can be artificially adjusted and sufficient food can be provided.

2. How much can a carp grow in a year? As mentioned above, carp grows very fast when there is enough food and the surrounding water environment is suitable. In terms of weight, carp gains between 1-4 kilograms per year. Specifically, carp living in different environments grow differently. As mentioned above, artificially farmed carp generally grow faster, sometimes gaining 4 kilograms per year; while wild carp may grow slower due to insufficient food or unsuitable environment.

In addition, the speed of carp weight gain is different in different growth stages. Before the age of 5, carp weight gain is still relatively fast, sometimes it can increase by 3-4 catties a year. After the age of 5, although carp will continue to grow, the growth rate is very slow, and it is basically invisible.

How long can a koi grow in a year?

Koi can grow about 20 cm in a year. Koi is an omnivorous fish. Its food generally consists of mollusks, fragments of higher aquatic plants, benthic animals, tiny algae and artificial synthetic granular bait.

Koi's requirements for living environment: Koi, like other warm-water fish, are not too strict about water temperature and water quality. It is suitable for living in weakly alkaline water with a pH value of 7.2-7.3 and low hardness. The living water temperature range is 2-30℃. However, if the temperature drops or rises suddenly by more than 3℃, the fish will easily get sick. If it exceeds 10℃, the fish will die. The most suitable water temperature is 20-25℃. In this temperature of water, Koi swims actively, has a strong appetite, is strong, and has bright colors.

Unlike insects, fish, and even reptiles and mammals, which basically stop growing in size after adulthood (addition of fat is another matter), they continue to grow throughout their lives, and the growth rate depends on the amount of food they eat and consume, as well as the ambient temperature and the specific species. Therefore, it is difficult to define the growth rate of fish in the same way as the normal weight and height range of a child of a certain age.

Feed the fish with feed specially used for breeding (there are many kinds of drinks on the market with different uses, you can consult the seller), increase the feeding amount. Ensure that the water temperature is relatively high, and increase the light exposure time. All of the above should be moderate, do not exceed its tolerance range...

The life span of ornamental koi is very long, but they grow slower than ordinary carp, so don't be too impatient. And they grow slower in a tank than in a large pond...

Slow growth is a problem of the species. Some koi will not grow no matter how long you feed them. Normally, it will take 1-3 years for them to grow into adult fish, that is, from a few centimeters to 70-100 centimeters.
