Does koi like still water or flowing water? Is there any requirement for water quality?

Koi like flowing water, but too much water is not what they like, slow flow is enough. In fact, in different growth periods, they like different water. If they happen to be in the breeding season, it is better to provide them with a still water environment, which is also good for them to hatch fish eggs. If they are in the growth stage, it is better to provide them with flowing water, but be careful not to flow too much, which will promote their growth and development.

1. Do koi like still water or flowing water

? In different growth periods, koi like different water environments:

1. Breeding period: Koi like still water in the breeding period, because still water can give them a relatively safe environment. And it allows them to hatch their eggs better and faster. However, it should be noted that when they are growing up, they must not be provided with such an environment, which will make their bodies bloated, slow development, and reduce their resistance over time, thus increasing their risk of disease.

2. Growth period: When they are in normal growth period, flowing water can increase their activity, make their bodies swim for a long time, promote their growth and development, and make them grow faster. But the breeder should be careful to control the water flow. The current must not be too fast and too big, otherwise it will cause harm to them, and the big current is not what they like.

Through comparative observation, Koi still prefer flowing water, but pay attention to the water flow is not too big, too much is not enough, appropriate.

2. Does Koi have requirements

for water quality? Koi has requirements for water quality, but the requirements are not high. It can survive in hard or soft water. However, when breeding, it is recommended that breeders provide them with a weak alkaline water environment and control the pH value of the water between 7.3 and 7.5, which is more conducive to their growth. There should be enough dissolved oxygen in the water to meet their survival needs.
