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. A Koi pond is a small, enclosed pond that is dependent on recirculating fresh water to keep Koi healthy.

The Koi is a fish that originated in Japan, and is named Nishikigoi by the Japanese. The Nishikigoi or Koi, were developed in Japanover two hundred years ago and are not big gold fish, despite their beautiful appearance, but are actually related to thecommon carp.

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.

Autumn is here and the weather is already changing. Big and small storm is something that will start happening no matter we like them or not.

How can we prepare the Koi fish pond for small storms?

1. Being outdoor, the Koi pond is vulnerable to all the stuff that can be blown away by the wind. If you have garden furniture or other garden items that can fall into the pond put them indoors or in a place where they are protected from the wind.
2. Most people think that Koi will starve if we don’t feed them for a few weeks or even days. Well, a Koi pond has a lot of natural food sources and Koi will have a lot to eat for a long time. Also, not feeding the Koi makes the water less dirty and therefore even if the filtration systems gets damaged due to the storm, there won’t be extra dirt on the water as well as ammonia problems.
3. During a storm you have little time and opportunity to take care of the Koi fond, therefore, before a storm, make sure the pond water is clean and if you can renew most of the water. This measure will allow your Koi to have good water conditions throughout the storm. For ground level ponds, protecting the Koi pond with sand bags is a wise choice to prevent overflow of the pond water.
4. If you can, protect the Koi pond with a net to prevent leaves and flying debris to fall inside. Make sure the net is secure.

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.

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.
