Koi Fish Pond
Putting up a Koi Fish Pond
Most garden pond owners although happy with their own ponds, cannot help but want more. Some may think of putting up a koi fish pond which is way grander than a normal garden pond. For novice pond owners, this can be a major upgrade not just to the garden, but also to the tasks that should be done. If you are planning to install one at your backyard, you may want to ask some help from few people you know since the job will not be that simple.
You may think that koi ponds are no different from any other fish ponds, but they are not. The reason why installing a koi pond is more complicated is, first, the ornamental aquatic plants you can put in the pond are very limited. This is because koi might possibly thought of the plants as their food and eat them. Second, koi are type of fish that grow even in small-sized ponds that is why it is unhealthy for them to stay there and get crowded. So it is ideal to build a much bigger pond for a healthier home for your koi.
There are many conditions you have to meet before putting koi in the pond. One is that you have to put at least one thousand gallons of dechlorinated water in the pond. Another is that you need to allot an area of the pond to be three feet deep t the very least. Also keep in mind that the kind of fish you chose to put in your pond grows fast. So make sure that the width of the pond is much bigger than the usual or else you will end up with an over-crowded koi pond with sick fish in it.
The decision can be crucial when it comes to choosing the location of your koi pond. It should be installed in an area where it can get ample shade from rain runoffs. Rain water may contain chemicals and debris that can threaten the lives of the fish in the pond. However, if you plan to put some aquatic plants in the pond, you will need to put it in an area where the some sun rays can land. Or better yet, put the pond under the sun for a few hours every day so that they can still survive in your shaded koi pond.
To complete the installation of the koi pond, proper pond filters and pond aerators should be put in the water. This is very helpful to you since you will not have to check on your pond’s cleanness once in a while. You should also consider having a water fall tank. This will help circulate the water in the pond thus making it unsuitable for algae to bloom. Less algae in the pond, the healthier the fish are.
Once the koi pond has been put up in your garden, there are still a lot of things to keep in mind. Make sure that you do not over feed the koi because leftovers can feed the algae in the water making them grow more. Another thing is that you should have the pond regularly cleaned. Once in a year would be perfect since you have pond filters to lessen the burden.
