Koi Care
Koi Nutrition, Well-being, First Aid, and Nursing
Koi care has
many facets, but the two most critical factors are pond water
quality and proper nutrition. Koi are inherently hardy and
long-lived. As such, they are easy to care for and don't demand
much from the koi keeper. Nonetheless, there are some
basic but important requirements to adhere to for your koi to remain
healthy.
Pond water
quality is undoubtedly the most critical aspect of koi care.
Koi can go on for weeks without being given food, but they can all
perish overnight in poor water. It is therefore necessary for
any koi keeper to give serious thought to how water quality will be
sustained, and how much he's willing to spend for it, even
before the pond is built.
Proper
koi nutrition is also an important aspect of koi care.
Providing your koi with good nutrition will protect them from
diseases and ensure that they'll attain maximum size and develop
good body conformation.
Lastly, koi care involves being
able to respond promptly to health problems or accidents. This
includes administering the right medication
to a sick koi or even applying first aid to one.
