Koi Care
Water Quality, Water Chemistry and Breeding Koi

Koi, being essentially carp with fancy colors, are a generally a hardy lot. However, the environment that we put them in is rarely close to nature since our ponds are man made, have a far larger population relative to water volume compared to natural settings and we provide them with unnatural foods. Therefore, we have included below some issues with Koi care that every owner should be aware of.
