Koi is a cold-blooded animal, the body temperature changes with the water temperature changes, they do not have the function of regulating their own body temperature, too cold or too hot weather, are affected by its growth and development. Doing a good job of keeping koi warm is an important part of keeping it well.

In cold climates, water used for outdoor koi farming is kept as thermally suitable as possible, at least not below the low critical water temperature that koi can tolerate. Koi are kept in10℃In the following water temperatures, its activity, bait consumption, and metabolism gradually decline; when the water temperature drops to6℃When the water temperature is below the level of the water temperature, the koi stops feeding, the activity decreases significantly, and the metabolism in the body is weakened.2℃~4℃When the koi is in a dormant state, the metabolism has been quite low, and only consumes a small portion of the nutrients stored in the body to maintain life; if the water temperature is chronically below0℃The cold season and low water temperatures not only affect the growth and development of koi, but also the quantity and quality of their reproduction. Cold season and low temperature water environment not only affects the growth and development of koi, but also affects the quantity and quality of their breeding offspring. Therefore, one of the measures to keep koi warm during winter outdoor breeding is to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the pool, maintain a certain water depth, and reduce the stimulation of new water.
