For many, having a Koi pond is like having a wilderness temple all to themselves. That escape from stress and the rigors of an increasingly busy and stressful society can be one of the many major benefits of an outdoor Koi pond.

Koi pond cleaning is number one priority. Keeping the Koi fish pond clean is the line between happy and healthy Koi fish and sick and dying Koi fish. You must remember that Koi fish pond water is where Koi fish eat and sleep but also a place they use as a bathroom, therefore Koi pond cleaning is a top priority.

If you don’t see the bottom of your Koi fish pond than the pond need to be cleaned. The water of a clean Koi pond must be completely clear without any floating dirt therefore it must be skimmed  as much as possible.

Koi fish eat a lot of food and they also produce a large amount of waste not only from the digestion but also from the uneaten food that goes to the bottom of the Koi pond. It is important that you make sure that the filtration system is working properly, the water must be kept moving with a pump system and the floor should be vacuumed as much as possible.

Having an outdoor pond is very different from an indoor one. The outdoor Koi fish pond needs extra care because it’s easy for debris to get into the pond. The health of your Koi fish depends on the Koi pond cleaning so the Koi fish depend on you. Keep your Koi fish happy and healthy by keeping the Koi pond clean.

When you intend to buy Koi you have to think about building a Koi pond. You should look for ideas and information from pond builders but you might also be interested in getting information on your own on the internet, magazines and even friends or neighbors that also have a Koi pond.

The bigger the Koi fish pond is the better. Koi grow very fast and depending on the number of Japanese Koi fish you want you should consider the koi pond size you will need for a good habitat.

One very important thing is the filtration system that should be chosen according to the size of the Koi pond as well as the amount and size of the Koi you will have. You can choose from mechanical or biological filtration.

• Mechanical Filtration: Relieves the Koi pond of solids like insects, Koi wastes and dead algae.
• Biological filtration: The nitrogen filtration cycle caused by this type of filtration removes dissolved wastes from the Koi pond.

Although it has no direct effect in the technical aspects of the Koi Pond, the visual surrounding area is also important.  There are plants and flowers that can be used in the Koi pond as well as visual and sound effects like fountains and waterfalls.
