Koi Pond Essentials

Sometimes the number of items needed to maintain a Koi pond may overwhelm any new Koi breeder. Nevertheless, even if it does leave you bewildered at times, you should realize that learning about them isn’t difficult at all. What is important is you understand the role of each item for the proper maintenance of the Koi pond.

First of all, there are supplies that you should have at all times. These you can call emergency supplies. After all, we cannot predict nature; therefore, it’s better if you are ready should untoward incidents do happen.

These are the common essential supplies for a Koi Pond:

Koi Pond Filters

The filter should be working effectively to maintain good quality of the water. If not, all those pollutants in the water will never be removed. Dirty water will endanger the lives of the Koi, and even in a worst-case scenario, it will kill them.

Koi Pond Pump

It is extremely important that there is proper movement and flow of water in the pond. Therefore, you should install a pump in order to process water for your pond. Other sources of moving water are fountains and the waterfalls; however, they are not sufficient to take the place of pumps.

Koi Pond Test Kits

Another key of effectively maintaining the quality of water is that there should be periodic testing of water for nitrite and ammonia levels. The kits may also come in handy if you can observe some abnormal behavior of the Koi, to help you determine the cause.

Baking Soda and Pond Salt

These substances are used together with the test kits to keep the chemicals in the water at the proper balance. The amount that you use will be determined by the results obtained from your testing and the size of your Koi pond.

Bags

Specially made bags are used to transport Koi. Remember not to use typical plastic or trash bags since they will only damage the fish. Instead, you must visit a regular pet store and purchase the bags made specifically for this purpose. The bag must be big enough to fit the number of Koi you want to transport along with a sufficient amount of water.

Dechlorinator

Tap water can damage your fish since it contains some chemicals not compatible with them, especially chlorine. Therefore, if you’re considering adding extra new water for whatever reason, a dechlorinator should be used on or applied to the water to remove these chemicals.

Rubber Bands

If you’re buying a bag to store and transport your Koi, never forget to bring also some rubber bands. These elastic materials are used to tie the end of the bag to ensure that the Koi is not spilled when in moving vehicles. It should be strong enough to resist water pressure, which may cause the bag to burst.
