? Koi is a freshwater fish, but in the process of breeding, people will add a proper amount of salt to the water in which he lives. The reason is to disinfect the water, inhibit the growth of bacteria, and reduce the osmotic pressure. Sick Koi can absorb drugs. It is worth noting that koi is a freshwater fish after all, and the amount of salt sprinkled in the water must be well controlled. If the salt content is too high, the koi will dehydrate and die. In addition, long-term growth in the water with high salt content will also have a great impact on the body organs of the fish, and the body color will also deteriorate.
should we pay attention to when feeding koi? 1. New fish into the tank: Don't put koi in the tank too quickly. Even if the tank is treated with the best nitrifying bacteria, the tank can't put koi until the third day. It's dangerous to put koi too early.
2. Feeding: The right amount of food should be fed. Usually, it is only fed once a day. Do not put in too much food for fear that the koi will not be full. After all, the probability of koi starving to death is too low. Excessive feeding of koi will increase the burden on the digestive system of koi.
3. Filtration: To keep the filtration in good condition, clean the filter frequently. The continuous operation of the filter is very important for the koi. The nitrifying bacteria population on the filter material is the biggest guarantee for the health of the koi.
