You can't directly add tap water to change water for koi. Because tap water contains a lot of chlorine, direct replacement of them may lead to poisoning and death. In addition, the water temperature of the new tap water can not reach the level of room temperature, while Koi has a higher requirement for water temperature, which should be controlled at about 25 degrees. Therefore, the new tap water must be dried to reach the room temperature level before it can be used by Koi. In addition, drying water can also volatilize harmful substances in it, so that it will not cause harm to them.
for the koi? When changing the water for the koi, the breeder should strictly follow the following steps: First, pump out the old water with a needle or spoon, and then pour the new water slightly along the wall of the tank. Be careful not to impact their bodies during this period, otherwise they may have stress reactions. Additional, when changing water, breeders should also pay attention to the following points:
1. Pay attention to water quality: They like neutral and alkaline water quality, so breeders must pay special attention.
2. Pay attention to the water temperature: For them, the most suitable water temperature is about 25 degrees to 28 degrees, so the breeder must handle the water temperature well in advance, and then replace them when they reach the suitable temperature. In addition, when replacing, we must pay attention to the temperature difference between the water temperature in the fish tank, which should be controlled between one and two degrees, not too large.
