Koi Keeping Tips (below)

Around the world, koi has become a living work of art that embellishes and beautifies the living environment. In our country, a considerable number of koi enthusiasts have built koi ponds in their own courtyards or set up small-scale koi ponds in their living rooms and stairwells. Keeping koi fish not only cultivates the sentiment, beautifies the environment, brings joy and harmony to people, while koi fish make our city more beautiful, it is a symbol of peace, happiness and longevity.

Keeping some pure-blooded and good-quality koi fish with turquoise water plants and wigwam jade, it becomes a beautiful landscape. When the fish scales flash, the water is long, the fish in the water swimming happily, people are relaxed and happy, and its joy is endless. Keeping Koi fish is good for the body and mind. Studies have shown that with the accelerated pace of people's work and life, they are often irritable and have bad moods, leading to a series of diseases. Keeping koi helps to relax the nerves and eliminate fatigue; appreciating koi fish can make people calm down and eliminate distractions.

Importance of management

Low oxygen storage in the water does not only affect the digestion of feed and reproduction of koi fish, but also the filtration of the water, as mentioned above.The maintenance of water quality is also very important. In a filtration tank, bacteria consume a large amount of oxygen (about the same amount as that required by koi) in order to purify the dirt adhering to the filter media, and when the amount of oxygen is insufficient, nitric acid is reduced to nitrite, and sulfuric acid takes away oxygen to produce poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulfide. When the concentration of nitric acid and nitrite increases, the amount of dissolved oxygen cannot be increased no matter how hard you try. Therefore, to increase dissolved oxygen, it is necessary to remove nitric acid and nitrous acid.Nitric acid.

Control of water quality and water quality management

As far as water quality is concerned, Taiwan's tap water has a high hardness, which can cause stomach damage after drinking. If Koi fish are kept in water with high hardness, their skin will often become slightly congested and their bright color will slowly disappear.PHIf the value is low, the white texture turns out beautifully, but the red scarlet, despite feeding color-enhancing feeds, still doesn't look good, and even the ink black is hard to get better. If you want any aspect to get better, it is appropriate.

During the rainy season, the humidity in the air increases, the air pressure is low, and there is not enough sunlight. In meteorological terms, this means that the "comfort index" is low. In other words, the weather can be very hot and stuffy, and at this time, gases in the water that are harmful to carp, because of the low air pressure and partial pressure difference, are not present in the water.(depression (meteorology))And it's hard to distribute.(vaporization)in the air. As a result, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water required by the carp gradually decreases. As a result of this natural phenomenon, there are various adverse effects on the carp and consequently a loss of appetite.

Considerations for Fish Pond Construction
1) The selection of appropriate filtration materials, to make the circulating water flow smoothly, the thicker the better, and to make the oxygen-demanding bacteria multiply, the larger the better the surface area.
(2) It is important to maintain an even flow of circulating water by maximizing the flow of water into the injection port of the filter tank.
(3) Daily should be5The new water should be added to the fish tank at a rate of 0.5%, but when the fish density is high, the addition of new water should be increased to reduce the content of nitrite.
(4) The cleaning of the filter tank should be done with pool water instead of tap water, depending on the amount of bait given and the temperature to decide the cleaning time, the principle is to clean it once every one to two weeks in order to reduce the production of nitrite.
(5) There are a wide variety of filter materials and biochemical filters, forced filters, etc. available on the market that can be utilized in conjunction with each other.

Management of fish ponds
(1) Before putting in the koi fish:

A. De-alkalization: one ton of water added50gmGlacial acetic acid, soak for a day, three times in a row or paint the walls and bottom of the pool.

B. Leak check.

(2) Daily and periodic management:

A. Full disk patrol and water temperature measurement.

B. Sedimentation and filter tank management.

C. Inspection of new water.

(3) Water quality and carp observations:

A. Water must be tasteless and odorless.

B, colorless, transparency of about2mDeep.

C. No abnormal blisters.

D. Normal moss on pool walls.

E. Carp have a strong appetite and grow rapidly.

F. Water quality in which carp are less likely to get sick.

G. The color of the carp does not fade and becomes more and more vivid.
