Koi Fish – Your Outdoor Koi Pond


Koi Fish - Your Outdoor Koi PondWelcome to the wonderful world of raising Koi fish in your outdoor Koi pond. While this is a “hobby” that takes time,effort, and patience, more and more people are finding Koi ponds to be a great investment not only because of their enthusiasm for the fish, but for the pond itself – the sense of escape, of peace, of harmony that a good Koi pond can bring a person.

Of course you want to have the perfect koi fish pond so you need to be informed of what is really necessary to achieve it. The following posts will inform you exactly how to build and keep the koi pond sparkling.

To link a pump to your filtration system there are a few things you have to keep in mind:

  • The pump and the filter must be compatible
  • The volume of water determines the capacity of the pump
  • The type of pump depends on the use you are going to give it: permanently working or not. If you are using a biological filter than you should get a non-stop pump

Here are some examples of koi pond pumps you can buy:

We are already in Spring and some you might be thinking what will I need to do to clean up my koi fish pond from the mess Winter did?

During Winter all the pond life was in a stand-by phase so when the weathers becomes warmer the pond becomes alive again. The right time to begin your pond maintenance is just before the warm weather comes.

  • The initial Spring maintenance should include:
  • Turn off the power
  • Open the pump and clean it very very well
  • Clean the Filters
  • Remove the leaves your koi pond might have
  • Remove all the dirt using the net
  • With a high pressure water hose clean all the dirt installed on the rocks (if you have), on the waterfall or fountain
  • Remove all the leaves around the pond so that they don’t end up inside the pond
  • Turn on the power and

Enjoy your cleaned koi fish pond.

The next step is to mixed a some water pond with the bag water for around 10 minutes so that the Koi can get used to the ph of the water.

After this done you can safely put your Koi in the pond and enjoy the view.

Make sure you have all the supplies needed (bags, rubber bands, net and bucket) at home to remove and transport the Koi to another location.
