Hello guys this time I want to give some development of koi fish life. Koi goldfish is an ornamental fish that is very charming and beautiful to see. This fish is quite easy to maintain, and is a favorite among ornamental fish lovers. The materials or equipment that we must prepare here are like:

1.Pool

Preparation The pond is done in accordance with the taste of each keeper because the pond is a place or habitat of fish that will be maintained. And we make it as comfortable as possible for the fish. And also we adjust to the land we have. It is strongly recommended for koi fish cultivation to be done in a state of pond water that has a heavy flow if not add a water pump, and a waterwheel: because koi fish will like and will be more aggressive

  1. Feed

    There are a variety of koi foods, including pellets, as well as live foods such as river shrimp and worms. Some foods are designed for summer, while others are for winter, when Koi metabolism slows down and they digest less protein.
    And try to give Koi fish a varied diet of different types of foods, and remember that the more expensive foods are generally better quality and give the fish a bright color. The correct amount to feed them every day is approximately as much as they can eat in five minutes. If there is food left over after five minutes, give them a bit of next time.
  2. Filtration
    Your pool should have a filtration system to clean the water. It consists of layers of foam and flocore in which water will be pumped and twisted into the pool. Foam needs to be cleaned regularly, but it is important that you never wash it in tap water, as this kills bacteria that are important for fish health.
    Instead, take some of your pool water in a bucket to wash the filter foam, rinse the foam in the water, and then dispose of it. After you clean the filter, add some more live bacteria to your pool.
  3. Fish Seeds
    Seeds can be spread by 5-7 inches. Cultivation in this pond is generally the size of the used for koi fish farming is recommended not too broad because the fish is dominant with the volume of water that will affect the beauty of the color of the fish is enough we use the fish pond with ukura 2 M x 3 M. with the density of stocking seed is 10 tail / 1 M2
  4. Water quality
    Many rules to keep water quality in Koi pond is the same as for fish in aquarium. Test the chemical level in the pool regularly, you can also do this yourself by testing, which will contain complete instructions, or take a sample of water and bring to your local aquarium store for testing. When adding water to your pool, for example if the water has evaporated, always add the dechlorinator to the water.
    Also add live bacteria, which can be bought in bottles, to help keep the pond ecosystem. It is not usually a good idea to replace more than 30% of the pool water at a time.
    Ok Guys, maybe this is just a tip I can give you guys to keep koi fish, hopefully you are motivated to keep koi fish, very good if you keep it and after getting good development you can export it and sell it to society. So much from me, thanks
