The winter in the north is very cold, so it is better to move the koi in the tank indoors for the winter. If you want to raise it outdoors, you should do a good job of windproof and heat preservation measures for the fish tank. The heating rod can be installed in the cylinder, and some windproof measures can be taken outside the cylinder. The circulation and filtration system is preferably always open. If the fish pond is used to raise koi, it is recommended to install an oxygen pump in the pond to prevent hypoxia.
