How To Have Healthy Koi

Pets : Fish

If you have paid for koi, then you will surely want to keep them healthy as they are not cheap to buy, but they can live for a very long time.

Quite a few koi have been known to reach ages of around 40!

Ensure that you use specific koi pellets for your fish, always use koi food that is formulated for their exact needs; generic fish foods are likely to be way off the mark.

The environment needs to be spot on for healthy fish, this means filtration and aeration at all times, and the temperature should be in a steady range, too.

Feeding should be about once or twice a day. Keep the pond debris clean by stopping the build up of dross on the floor. Finally, ensure that the filter is cleaned three times a year.

The final point is to note that you have the right number of koi for the water. The more fish the more oxygen that the water will need to sustain them, so be realistic.
