Big storms can bring serious trouble to the Koi pond and therefore to the Koi fish. There are no useful prevention measures so the best solution is to remove the Koi from the pond before the storm.
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.

There are plants that can also be used in the Koi fish pond but they will not be visible to us.
Water Crowfoot is one of the underwater plants, it lives under the water line and can be bought in a local pet shop.
Underwater plants have useful functions like feeding your Koi fish, fight algae or supply oxygen to the water. They are low maintenance, survive throughout Winter and the pond can benefit a lot from them.

Here are a few more supplies that you should have at home for your Koi fish pond:
Net – A net will be needed to remove your Koi from the water. It might be necessary when preparing for a big storm or just to clean up your pond.
Paint Bucket – Paint buckets are an alternative way (than the net) to remove Koi from the water. Keep in mind the size of the Koi when choosing the bucket.
Rubber Bands – These are used to close the bags with your Koi when you are transporting them.

A Koi fish pond gives us a relaxing, calm and colorful environment that we should take advantage of. In case you don’t have a Koi pond, take a look at this video and relax with the Koi fish.
We all know how difficult it is to find time to do our daily chores not to mention taking care of the garden.
Having a Koi fish pond in our garden is a colorful and wonderful thing but it requires some dedication and therefore time to take care of it.
One thing you can add to your Koi pond is Water Hyacinths. These plants don’t need too much attention, in fact they are very simple and very easy to take care of. They help to maintain the pond free of algae and blanker weeds.
However, Water Hyacinths grow very fast and they tend to expand to other areas than the pond. So, if you intend to put this type of Koi pond Plants in your pond, keep an eye on them and don’t let them take over the pond and surrounding areas.

As you already know the number of Koi fish should be adjusted to the Koi fish pond size. But sooner or later your Koi will spawn and new Koi will be born, nature does it naturally and there is nothing we can do to prevent Koi new babies.
The solution will be doing a population control that means remove the baby Koi. Ask around your neighbors or friends if they are interested in adopting some of your baby Koi or talk to your pet store expert and see if they accept unwanted Koi fish or if they know an association where you can put your extra Koi babies.
If you aren’t able to give your Koi away, there is a method you can use. Stop feeding your Koi for at leas three weeks as soon as you realize your Koi are spawning. They will not starve because they will start eating natural food including the your Koi. This may sound cruel but it is nature having its natural course.
If you don’t eliminate the young Koi your pond will become overpopulation, your Koi will be uncomfortable and the water can get harmful
levels of gases and chemicals.
