What should you pay attention to when raising koi in a fish tank at home?

The following matters need to be noted:

1. Do not release koi fish too quickly. Even if you use the best nitrifying bacteria, you should wait until the third day before releasing koi fish. Release koi fish too early will only do a lot of harm and no good.

2. Don’t overfeed. Usually you only feed once a day. Remember not to feed more than twice a day. Since novices have not fully grasped the water quality and the impact of excrement and food residues on water quality, feeding once a day is enough. Overfeeding koi fish will only kill them.

3. Water quality filtration. A continuously running filter is very important. The nitrifying bacteria population on the filter material is the greatest guarantee for the health of the koi fish. Separate the time for changing the water and cleaning the filter material. Clean the filter material in batches or just wash it casually. If the koi fish appears to be in trouble after cleaning the filter, please stop feeding immediately for two to three days and replenish nitrifying bacteria immediately.

4. Choose the correct koi fish tank. Note that the smaller the koi fish tank, the more difficult it is to control the water quality. The larger the water capacity of the koi fish tank, the less difficult it will be to control the waste concentration.

5. Do not add medicine, change water, or clean the filter. When there is a problem with the koi fish, please stop feeding first, then change a small amount of water, add better quality nitrifying bacteria, and immediately seek help from an expert to judge and then decide how to deal with it.

6. Pay attention to changing the water. Do not keep koi fish for too long without changing the water. When changing the water, you should also be careful not to change the water too much. The frequency of water changes varies depending on the species of koi carp and the amount of feeding. It ranges from once a month to once a week. The amount of water change should be less than 1/3, and the speed of adding water should not be too fast, at least 20 to 30 minutes. Within.
