⚒ MAINTENANCE

Koi are adaptable to many styles of ponds. A koi fish is a generally hardy animal that can live for many years, especially in captivity. However, for them to grow and live long, they must be subjected to optimal conditions. Good water quality is the main factor in successfully keeping koi, levels in the water should be checked regularly. Due to evaporation, water in a koi pond gradually decreases, leaving behind minerals and other substances that may lower the quality of the water. Because of this, it is important to remove at least 10 to 15 percent of the remaining pond water weekly and refill the pond with fresh water to the desired level.

Pond maintenance also differs by season. During fall and winter, when it is generally colder, some of the leaves on the aquatic plants in the water may change colors or fall off. To retain the efficiency of the filtration system and to avoid the collection of debris, it is important to cut or trim all dead and dying leaves before they fall into the pond. Also, during winter, the pond’s surface may freeze. Proper and regular care of a koi pond is not difficult. You just need to follow a regular maintenance schedule to avoid bigger problems.
