What's going on with the foaming water in the koi pond?

I believe that many fishermen have encountered some tiny bubbles attached to the surface of the pond or clustered in a corner of the wall, which can not be broken for a long time. And it may be followed closely by abnormalities in the koi in the pool, or even disease casualties.

Yes, everything has a cause!

Koi pond water surface floating foam is the fish pond water quality change signs, if you ignore the water body of these pre-appearance of changes and not timely treatment, it may lead to further deterioration of water quality, and ultimately lead to fish disease.

Why is that?

Obviously, it's the water that's too fat and the filtration isn't working!

If the bubbles in the water surface external forces can not autonomously dissipate, broken, then it means that the water contains gelatinous substances, increasing the surface tension of the bubbles, but also in the form of bubbles on the surface of the water and will not be easily broken.

First of all, it is not normal for the surface of the koi pond to bubble a lot, generally there is too much organic matter in the water, especially because the egg white foam content is too high. This is a sign that the water is getting bad, and you should adjust 2/3 of the water in the pond two or three times, or change all the water (e.g., clean the walls of the pond, etc., and call it "clearing the pond").

Inadequate fish pond filtration system, that is, excessive nitrogen and ammonia and other harmful substances, the water microbial ecosystem for a long time can not be balanced, or due to the fish playing seeds can also cause the water surface of the fish pond blistering. Such problems can only be solved through a small number of water changes or the establishment of a perfect, strong fish pond overflow system.

There are several factors that contribute to foam in the water:

1, Koi density, baiting and excretion, this situation bubble smaller.

2, dead fish or live bait a large number of deaths, and has begun to rot and stink, the water has a carrion smell. Bubbles are relatively large, but all sizes.

3, feeding fish meal bait products, because the bait spread out to pollute the water quality or bait in the excessive use of such as gelatin, carboxymethyl , vitexin and other coagulants to increase the viscosity of the water due to; may also be due to pellet feed and other not eaten by the fish and deterioration caused by water pollution. Foam is large, with a few large bubbles.

4, feeding a large number of water fleas, especially Daphnia magna, a part of the water flea death caused by decomposition. Foam for small and medium-sized guns.

5, water earthworms acute death (caused by bacteria). The water is extremely turbid, the foam is generally small, it is advisable to clear away or clear the pool in time.

6, oily food caused by water surface tension, poor permeability.

7. If no attention is paid during the breeding period, part of the eggs discharged by the parent fish will be eaten by the fish and the other part will be left in the corner or flow into the filter tank, which will be moldy and corrupt over time.

Sometimes the foam on the surface of the water just won't go away. The filtration system works fine and the water is clear just a lot of foam.You can't say the water quality is bad at this point, and we take this condition as a precursor to the onset of the disease.

This is due to the fact that koi secrete an excessive amount of mucus, resulting in an increase in the protein content of the water, and the solution foams inside the water. If you put water with no nutrients at all in a bottle and shake it vigorously, it will not foam. However, if you shake water with protein content, the water will foam for the same reason.

The reason why Koi secrete mucus is generally considered to be a defense response to stress, and in most cases it is a problem with the physical state of the Koi, although it is not a serious illness.

At this time, try to change the water, the amount of a little more than usual, according to the prescribed amount of half of the medicine to see, this method can be prevented from getting the disease in the first place, but also able to prohibit the development of the disease, sometimes the effect is good.

Day-to-day management matters:

1. Enhance the fish pond filtration system by regularly cleaning the internal filter material or modifying the fully automatic fish pond filtration system;

2, do not feed easy to disperse or bait after more foam of poor quality bait;

3. Turn off the filtration unit for 15 minutes when feeding frozen daphnia or red bloodworms to avoid spoilage caused by inflow into the filtration system.
