Koi (details)

We have a lot of young animals, plants, fish, in terms of feeding will feel a little overwhelmed, today we are talking about is a young fish koi, in fact, feeding a small koi and big koi is not much difference, only small koi resistance will be poorer, in terms of diet and water quality to pay more attention.

One, maintain the water quality

Koi do not have high requirements for water quality, I have six koi more than twenty centimeters long, every day more feces, so I bought a few tens of dollars of filters (24-hour operation), one side of the oxygen once the filtration of water quality. Usually consumes less than 1 degree of electricity per day. Water change frequency once a week, one-third to half of the water at a time. You can't change too much water at one time, as this will cause the ecosystem in the aquarium to become unstable, which will easily make the koi unaccustomed to it. There is also a yo ah attention is not to let the oil contaminated bathtub, otherwise it will be easy to cause lack of oxygen suffocation.

Two, the cleaning of the fish tank

If you buy the kind of automatic fish tank, built-in cleaning system, half a month to change the filter cotton or cleaning once can be. But the koi actually do not use so complex equipment, so the fish tank is easy to grow green moss, to prevent the growth of green moss is often cleaning the fish tank, cleaning the fish tank to fish out, and keep half of the water do not pour out, after cleaning the fish tank back. If you don't have time to clean the fish tank often, you can put the fish tank in a cool place, avoid direct sunlight, and put wallpaper on the place where there is a lot of light.

Three, don't plant water plants

Nowadays, those water plants are very expensive, and if you keep koi, the water plants will be eaten very soon, which is not worth the loss. And it's easy to pollute the water with all those leftovers from eating. My method is to keep water plants in a separate pot, and put water plants into the tank regularly to replenish the nutrients.

Four, water temperature control

As I said above, koi can survive the cold winter, but their vitality is poorer in winter. If the weather is particularly cold, pay attention to put some nutritious fish feed to supplement the heat. If the weather is particularly hot, feed less food, clean the tank more often, and change the water more often. When you change the water, pay attention to the water temperature, if you put the koi into the cold water suddenly, it will be difficult for it to adapt, so you have to put the water into the basin to cool down for a while, so that the water temperature is about the same as the air temperature before you pour it into the bathtub.

Five, food

Koi are omnivores, crickets, earthworms and other insects can eat, bread crumbs, steamed bread and other vegetarian food is no problem. In short, it basically eats everything you eat, so I keep koi just like I keep dogs, and the corn I have left over for them can be eaten. If you feed more, you need to change the water more often, the more you feed, the worse the water quality. How much feed is appropriate for a fish? It's hard to say, but the general standard is that if the koi finish the food quickly after you feed them, you have to feed them more. If the koi don't finish it within 5 minutes, then you have to feed them a lot.

Sixth, light exposure

Koi do not need special light exposure, but in order to sterilize, you can buy those sterilization effect of the lamp, the night time on one or two hours. I have this device, but I couldn't see any immediate effect, so I stopped using it for a while. Of course this is not to say that the lamp is not effective (some hospitals also use this principle to sterilize), it's just that I couldn't see it.

Seven, pool and tank

1. Pool

The main difficulty of pool breeding is that not every family has the space and reasonable conditions for pool breeding.

2. Tank keeping

The main difficulty of tank keeping lies in the oxygen supply and filtration, and the water needs to be changed slowly because the tank does not touch the ground like a pool and the amount of water is large, and the water change is easy to cause a big change in the water temperature, which will lead to the koi catching a cold and weakening the body condition.

The tank is recommended to bare tank, because the koi is an artistic painting, water plants will be eaten by the koi, other rockery what occupies the space, add some alkaline coral stone or volcanic stone is not for decoration, but alkaline can make the koi color better, the body is also healthier.

After reading the above content you should have a certain understanding of feeding young koi, no matter what kind of method breeders use, small koi can not be separated from the water and feed requirements, if you want small koi to thrive, regular water changes and maintain hygiene is very important.
