between hard water and soft water. If you want to know what kind of water they like to live in, you must first understand the difference between soft and hard water.
1. Soft water: tap water for drinking at ordinary times belongs to the category of soft water. The content of calcium and magnesium in soft water is also relatively low, which is more suitable for the survival of Koi.
2, hard water: Like the usual river water and well water belong to the category of hard water, in which the content of calcium and magnesium is higher. Although hard water will not cause too much damage to Koi, it will cause rough body of Koi over time, and also damage the mucous membrane on the surface of the skin.
water? After understanding the water quality, we can observe the situation of Koi. Koi is not particularly demanding on water quality, it can survive in both soft and hard water, but pay attention not to change the water quality too much when changing water, otherwise it will cause harm to them. Because soft water is better for the skin of Koi and does not damage the mucous membrane on their body surface, they prefer soft water with lower hardness.
water? Koi prefer old water, because old water is rich in algae, which can provide them with vitamins and proteins, thus promoting their growth and development.
