"Robot" has a friendly look to her. I admire the effort you put in to keep koi indoors for so much of the year.

robot looks very pregnant....one of the things people do around the world is bring fish into an inside pond, keep the heat up and continue to feed. females in her condition then continue to use the protein from the feed to continue the growth of the egg which eventually could find them eggbound and in danger of loosing her life.....tell me at what temperature do you keep you indoor pond at? maybe your thread would be a good one to talk about winter feeding.....

Well Dick I do not think she is pregnant maybe she is little bit fat but i think its good for them for the winter.

In my indoor pond have I 13,7 c right now and I think it gona drop to 6-8 C maybe. maybe lower and maybe higher buti goes not under 5 C....

And i do not feed my kois in the winter next time they eat are in the start off
April..

sounds like you have a "handle" on it....meaning you understand the importance of winter and not feeding....good for you! We have lots of "newbees" meaning first time browsers here that I thought I'd bring the topic up so that they wouldn't make that mistake because no one told them.
