No Sub Plies For Koi Fish Supplies

A Koi pond, properly maintained, is bliss to the senses. A well maintained pond is also vital to the health and happiness of the Koi. If you wish to call a part of nature your own, it's mandatory that you maintain it in all its beauty and glory. Some natural factors that pose a challenge to the splendour of your Koi pond can't be avoided. But proper care and maintenance from your side can definitely ensure a better life to your pond and to the Koi in your pond. An important factor in ascertaining that all goes well is getting the right kind of Koi fish supplies for your pond.

Here are some guidelines to choose the best possible quality supplies for your pond – including the fish, fish food and pond equipment.
 
The Koi for you;
°  General Health – Ensure that the fish is healthy. A healthy fish would be agile and swimming swiftly but gracefully. Its movements should not be haphazard or frantic. It will not be gasping for air. There should be no spots or unhealthy dullness on the skin.
°  Body shape – The shape should appear proportionate, balanced and full at the first glance. No part of the body – fins, tail, head – should be over or undersized. Females have fuller bodies compared to males.
°  Colour – Very defined or bright colours are not desirable in young Koi. It might develop into an undesirable pattern as the fish grows. Look for healthy but emerging tones.
°  You – You should ‘like' the fish. Apart from the other definite features, it's important that the fish appeals to you. Do not choose a Koi that is very ‘good' but does not excite you.

Fish food:
*  Ingredients – Food with high ash content is not good for Koi. Choose a food which is high in protein. Carefully read the constituents details given on the pack.
*  Whole fish meal – This is a good and healthy option to choose. It is made of crushed whole fish and has almost all the elements that the Koi require. This is different from white fish meal which is made up of fish left overs. So be careful.

The Koi fish pond supplies:
°  Water filtration system – Choose a system that is adequate for the size of pond you have. It is advisable to use a filter that can hold at least 10% of the total water in your pond. If you can get a bigger filter, it's better.
°  Pump – Again the power of the pump should be in relation to the size of the pond. Smaller ponds can have submersible pumps. For larger ponds it is advisable to install 2 small pumps instead of a single big one. Do not go by the capacity of the pump indicated on it. Decide on the basis of the actual quantity of water it will be able to pump in your conditions.
°  UV sterilizer – It's better to go for a water sterilizer than a water clarifier. A sterilizer kills 99% of the harmful bacteria along with floating green algae. Choose a size adequate for your pond size and flow rate.
°  Aeration system – Proper oxygen supply into the water is essential to healthy growth of Koi. Install a good quality air pump to provide for this need. For a pond of less than 6' deep, use surface aeration. For deeper ponds, use bottom aeration.

Ensure good quality at every step and for every aspect; and rest assured that your experience with Koi will be a qualitative one.

Food for Koi: Feeding Your Koi

The food you choose for your koi is as important as when you feed your koi. With the winter months fading, we are all eager to get feeding our koi again and see them get active. Please be careful. When the fish are begging for food, feed them, but sparingly. Better to feed six times a day with tiny tidbits than to overfeed -- ever.

One of your most important investments is a water thermometer. A resonably good thermometer costs about  . Check the water temperature. If the water is less than 45 degrees, do not feed at all until the water temp goes over 50 degrees. That being said, let the koi tell you when to feed. If they are hungry and coming to the surface begging, feed them. If not, go away and wait until temperatures get high enough to make the fish become active.

A good quality food will not have corn as the first ingredient. Read labels for fish food as discerningly as you would for your own food. If you have them, earth worms are just wonderful. The koi love them and the worms are about 80% protein and very good for the koi.

Duckweed is an excellent food but be careful about any food, including duckweed, gathered from wild sources. Wild sources are anything outside your control such as lakes, ponds or other water sources over which you have no control.

Citrus is an excellent food. Cut oranges, grapefruit, lemons or limes into 1/2" thick slices. Then cut the slice in half so the meat portion of the citrus is available. The koi will eat the citrus and leave only the rind. Remove the rind and toss it into the compost bin.

Water celery is also enjoyed by koi. Rotate pots of celery for the fish. They will show their appreciation by eagerly eating the celery. Float a few leaves of store celery and lettuce. They like that, too.

The koi will almost anything including meat, bread, pasta or sweets.However, these foods are not good for the koi.

Koi, like us and any other creature, enjoy variety. Different foods provide different needs. Koi will eat a great deal of algae. Summer months bring algae blooms which confound most pond-keepers. The truth is that your koi benefit greatly from algae and they eat a lot of it. In fact, many very high quality foods add spirulena which is a blue-green algae. So if your pond turns green, think about how happy your koi are with so much food at their disposal!!

Insects will fall into the pond and will be quickly gobbled up by the koi. Koi are great natural controllers of mosquito larvae as well. In fact, your fish are the best controllers of algae and mosquito larvae.

Carp (koi) will eat almost anything. It is up to you to control their diet as much as possible to insure that your koi are getting enough calories, but not too much. Like us, fish can become obese. Crazy idea, for sure, but true nonetheless. In fact, I have been in pet stores where their fish were emaciated. So it can happen. Natural foods are the best, of course. I don't know too many carp that will ever hope to dine on brine shrimp but this is a very good food for them and they like it very much. Dehydrated brine shrimp are available at almost every outlet that provides pet food including WalMart, Petco and the like.

In summary, think about what your fish need and whether they are feeding at all with the cold water temperature. Try different foods and monitor the fish activity. If they don't eat something within 24 hours, remove it from the pond or tank. You will probably be surprised at all the stuff they will actually eat and enjoy.

Question by poisonchick12345: what's the best way to take care of koi indoors?
We just bought 3 small (3 inches) koi and have them in a 50 gallon tank for now with 2 bubble stones and the best filter (so we are told)out there for the tank. The fish seem to love it and we are NOT going to add more fish. We added the necessary bacteria for the tank and all seems well. Can anyone give me some advice on raising them? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by snoopy
yes well kois would rather like it outdoors in a pond but that doesn't really matter. Kois will get bigger, as you should know {and I'm talking huge!} All you have to do now is feed them, coz you basically have the tank set up good. and you should add some plants in the tank, as these fish love plants, especially banana lillies and the amazon sword. for info go to www.aqualandpetsplus.com and that will show you info about plants, fish./././././

Four Great Tips On Giving Your Koi The Royal Treatment

Easy Tips on Taking Care of Your Beautiful Koi

As Japan's national fish, koi are known for their appealing colours and an exquisite outer layer which can leave the beholder mesmerized. Ranked among the most entertaining fish that can be found, these are Japan's most popular freshwater fish.

The koi fish are a magnificent and graceful species of fish. They are a great fish to have in the pond and are truly one of God's most unique and beautiful creations.

Koi fish live longer then other pond fish and this is the primary reason why aquarium owners prefer keeping these over other fish. The important question is how can you take great care of these marvellous creations.

Tank Environment and Water Quality

To begin with, create an environment suitable for the koi fish. This revolves around keeping a large and deep pond in which they have enough space to swim freely and without any hindrance. Make sure the water has the right amount of ammonia and then PH should be in the given range maintain the health of the koi.

Feeding tips:

Being omnivores, koi fish need a balanced diet. A koi's diet should have at least 28% protein for it to be in a healthy state. Koi fish have a diet that is much richer than that of other fish. Don't compromise on their highly specific diet by purchasing food for other fish - buy food made specifically for koi.

Their digestive system is incapable of digesting carbohydrates so make sure that carb-rich foods like bread, cereals, or dog biscuits are kept far away from the koi fish. Place some suitable plants in the pond or aquarium so that your koi fish have a well balanced diet. This will help the koi grow properly as all their vitamin and mineral requirements will be managed.

Give small portions of food throughout the day. During the winter reduce this intake of food and during extremely cold weather completely stop giving food to the fish.

Protecting koi from diseases:

Ensure that any new koi fish being introduced to the pond are free of any diseases. The new comer should be in a healthy state to keep other inhabitants of the aquarium healthy.

In case a fish does catch disease, you should take appropriate measures immediately.

First, remove it from the pond and keep it separate. koi fish can sometimes suffer from diseases such as ICH (where spots appear on the body), Chilodinella, Costia (noticeable reddening of fins, experience difficulty with breathing), and Odinium (where velvety gold dust shows on the koi's skin).

Be on the watch for these signs and take suitable measures as soon as possible.

Handling koi fish:

In order to handle the koi fish properly take guidance from other owners. These fish should be taken seriously and kept in a comfortable environment.

If the fish are not handled properly, their outer layer can get damaged resulting in fungal and bacterial disease outbreaks. For obvious reasons the number of male koi fish should be greater then female ones to desist male fish from fighting over females.

Buy the Correct Koi Filters for Contented and Fit Koi Fish

When raising Koi fish, it is vital that an appropriate Koi filter is installed in your pond. As Koi are particularly sensitive to settings in their fluid surroundings, careful consideration is needed when purchasing your choice of Koi pond filters.

Pond filtering is the process of eradicating waste products and other dangerous substances from the Koi pond. This is a fundamental necessity if you want to keep your Koi fit and healthy for a long time.  Without filtration, numerous things can occur:

The pond will change to to a green color. Parasites and other harmful vermin will form and spread quickly from one Koi fish to another. Water in the pond will become stinky and ugly, and will be deadly to the fish.

As well as planning for aeration, planning for a suitable Koi pond filter is also critical. An incorrectly set-up filtration system can ruin the whole mission if it fails in a crucial moment. You can lose your most valuable Koi fish this way.

Many Koi specialists advocate a Koi pond filter volume of not less that 33% of the total pond water volume. For example, a 3,000 gallon pond should have a filter that is able to manage 1,000 gallons of pond water at any given time.

There are two types of pumps available:

Submersible pumps, suggested for smaller ponds and waterfalls because of their discrete appearance and minimal noise. Re-circulating pumps, suggested for large ponds because of their effectiveness and durability.

Any pond filtration system usually has two phases for mechanical filtering and another two for biological filtration.

Mechanical filtration Consists of catching the wastes and debris in the water physically. The most popular utilized media are sand, beads, pads and brushes.                    

Biological filtration This system uses a natural biological process to turn the toxic wastes into less invasive compounds. Koi expel ammonia, which in large quantities is dangerous to themselves.  Particular anaerobic bacteria convert ammonia into nitrites, which are also noxious to Koi.  There are, however, good aerobic bacteria that convert nitrites into nitrates, which are safe to Koi. These good bacteria are also known as nitrifying bacteria.

As well as these two Koi pond filter systems, there is also a need for a bottom drain where dirty water is extracted by a pump for transmission to filter chambers.  It should be placed in the deepest part of the pond bottom.  A pond with no bottom drain will need to be cleaned regularly.

Being the owner of a spectacular Koi pond entails frequent maintenance. Deciding on the right choice of Koi filters is part of your Koi pond responsibility. Having said that, caring for Koi fish absolutely remains one of the most worthwhile of activities.

Selecting the Right Koi

The success of your pond fish has a lot to do with where they come from. As always, we recommend buying your koi from your local reputable breeder rather than buying from a pet store or a national chain. Koi that come from a national chain usually endure hundreds, if not thousands of miles of travel before they reach their destination. Also, koi from national chains are exposed to many diseases and bacteria that attack their potentially weak immune systems. Furthermore, national chain koi usually aren’t fed or tracked for growth.

If you’re wondering what kind of koi you should purchase, you should have an open mind. There are many classifications of koi, with most of them classified by their colorations. To add further complexity, most classifications have a scaled (Gin Rin) and unscaled (Doitsu) version. Keep in mind, butterfly koi are beautiful, but many true koi breeders do not carry this breed. Butterly koi originated from inter-breeding with Indonesian carp and lack standard characteristics suitable for judging.

No matter what variation of koi you purchase, there are some characteristic signs you should look for in healthy robust fish. Also, you will have to consider your budget, since koi cost can run into thousands of dollars.

First, the koi you consider should be outgoing and swimming with the other fish. Naturally, koi are shy, but the healthiest koi actively swim with other fish and do not linger by themselves. You should also select koi that linger near the top of the water as you pass, so that you don’t get the shyest fish in the group! Also, the koi should swim smoothly and gently. If the koi twitches or jolts when it swims, or if the koi swims unevenly, it may have swim bladder problems (via bacterial infection).

Second, once you think you have a good fish, look carefully at its gills. Koi infected with gill flukes breathe through only one gill or have redness around their gills. If you see any of these signs, don’t buy this fish, and definitely don’t buy from that batch of fish! If one koi inside the group has gill flukes, then all of them have gill flukes.

Next, you should look at your koi’s body. The koi’s body should be thick, gently tapered and well defined. The scales on the koi should be flat with no visible lesions. The fins of your koi may have some minor damage if it’s recently been transported, or is kept in a crowded environment. This is acceptable as long as it’s minor and there’s no redness.

When buying koi, remember koi coloration changes as the koi matures. You may buy a koi with strong orange and black coloration, and in a few months, you may have a koi with red and orange. To avoid this, you can buy mature koi, but you’ll pay much more money. Another way to avoid this is to buy koi from a breeder who breeds the type of koi you want to buy. Keep in mind that this is the most expensive way to buy new stock, but well worth the money if you want a certain standard of koi.

Finally, you should look carefully at the proportion and balance of your koi. The fins should not look too big or too small. The belly of the koi should gently taper into the dorsal and pectoral part of the fish, and the back should be nice and smooth. The face of the fish should be imposing and well defined- not too short and not too long.

Many koi keepers choose to keep koi that are considered “imperfect” by koi standards. In the end, all that matters is your relationship and commitment to your fish. Many times, you find that the ugliest fish you own is the most personable and fun to keep! Unless you’re planning on professionally showing the fish at a convention, you should buy fish that appeal to you.

Maintaining Your Koi Fish Aquarium

Undoubtedly, fish make popular pets while being great stress busters at the same time. A koi fish aquarium full of colorful koi swimming gracefully is enough to mesmerize anyone. If you have a passion for taking care of fish then you may be thinking of buying a koi fish aquarium. The wide range and colorful patterns that these fish sport can brighten up any home. However, there are some important things to consider prior to purchasing a koi aquarium.

Serious koi breeders aren't too keen on these fish being housed in an indoor aquarium. However, for the average enthusiast, an indoor koi fish aquarium is a great way to protect these fish from the weather and proudly display their collection. In colder conditions, monitoring them indoors is a convenient option. The best part of an aquarium is that they the fish can be seen from different angles, unlike a koi pond where they can be observed only from the top.

To begin with, your koi fish aquarium needs to be of a reasonable size. These fish grow to large proportions, depending on the amount of space they have. Ten gallons of water is needed for every inch of koi, excluding the tail. So make sure you are able to work within this calculation. Koi can grow to a large size very quickly, which is another factor you need to consider. A four inch Koi can grow up to 12 inches in a year, which means your tank will fill up soon. Don't think of overcrowding them or else that could spell doom for your koi fish aquarium.

Koi are playful fish and there is danger of them jumping out of the water, therefore, you will need to install a net over the koi fish aquarium to prevent any disaster. You also need to provide sufficient aeration and filtration for the aquarium since koi excrete plenty of waste due to their frequent eating habits. Negligence on your behalf can cause the fish to fall ill or even die, not to mention the wasted effort and money that you invest.

Koi fish need to be fed much less during winter months, while they tend to eat much more in summer. They are omnivorous and eat a variety of food. Koi are much like many other pets and grow accustomed to the person feeding them, and will eventually end up feeding from your hand. During spring, you need to pay extra attention to the water temperature of your koi fish aquarium. This is the time when the temperature is irregular, which is not good for koi.  Don't refrain seeking the advice of koi fish experts or pet shop owners if you have any apprehensions about taking care of a koi fish aquarium.

Koi fish are harmless and never pose a danger to smaller fish. Moreover, their mouths are soft and toothless. As long as you take care of your koi fish aquarium you can expect them to live for many years, sometimes as long as twenty or thirty years. These beautiful and colorful creatures are a symbol of love and friendship in Japan and make great gifts. They are also said to bring good luck to people who receive them, so why not gift your friends and family a koi fish aquarium today.

The Incredible Koi Fish

Discovering the beauty of Koi Fish? You are bound to have been mesmerized pretty recently if you are a beginner when it comes to Koi. Read on and you'll discover what actually makes the Koi Fish so very special.

Being one of the most beautiful creatures on earth is apparently not enough for the Koi. There are several other qualities that make both the Koi and the Koi collector special. If you strive on becoming one of those special Koi collectors, you've already taken the first step towards pet-fish bliss by deciding you want to raise and care for Koi.

Koi Fish is not just a popular collectible fish that people just started buying because it looked pretty in a tank. It is way, way more than that. The popularity of Koi almost totally transcends national barriers.

Originating in Persia, it fascinated ancient peoples and was taken from in-awe collectors from Persia to China and Japan for breeding. Scientifically name Cyprinus Carpio, the Koi is the most popular fish in Japan today and enjoys an almost god-like status. Declared their national fish, Koi is popularly believed to be a mythological creature.

There are mentions of similar fish in ancient Japanese scriptures dating back to the 4th century. It is this ancient status that now makes people speak volumes on the traditions and fables attached with the Koi. Although initially the Koi came in only three colors:, red, blue and yellow, the current variety in Koi and the respect the fish enjoys is not only because of initial beauty.

It is due to centuries of traditions and selective breeding by the Japanese that has now made sure the best varieties of Koi are available for fish enthusiasts.

Koi belongs to the large family from which Goldfish and Carp come from. The proactive selective breeding by the Japanese has made Koi different though. Selective breeding has not only made the Koi abundantly different when it comes to aesthetics but has made the fish excitingly agile and long-living.

This makes it one of the most special fish in the domesticated fish world to possess. Its ability to survive in several climates around the world just adds to its repertoire.

If you're willing to own Koi Fish however, the toughest job is not taking care of it but deciding which type of Koi you want. There are virtually hundreds of varieties you can choose from.

Through selective breeding, scientists have come up with varieties to suit different needs, ages, tastes, etc. To make things simple however, the Japanese made a classification system based on physical characteristics.

Instead of having scientific names for classification, the Koi has names based on it's beautiful qualities.

For example, Koi types like the Sandan and Yondan are named because of the island-like red spots they have on their beautiful, shiny skin. Sandan have 3 islands and Yondan have 4.

It all depends on personal preference then, which Koi you would choose. Then there are metallic types in gold and silver, types with symmetrical patterns on the skin, white Koi which are the rarest, etc.

With hundreds of varieties come dozens of ways of taking care of your Koi fish. One thing remains constant however: the amount of respect and care the Koi deserves.

With centuries of tradition and beautiful fables attached to them and nations singing praise for the fish, it is only fair that you value all that the Koi Fish is, without compromise.
