When raising fish, many breeders will put salt in the water. In fact, this is also the case when raising koi. Although Koi is a freshwater fish, it does not like too much salt, but put some salt in the fish tank, can play a variety of roles. The most important role of course is the role of sterilization and disinfection, most of the farmers put salt in the water is the main value of this role. In addition, when Koi is sick, salt will also be used to disinfect in order to achieve the role of sterilization and adjuvant treatment; Other functions, such as balancing osmotic pressure, purifying water quality, and improving the activity of Koi, etc., are very many.
However, it should be noted that the salt placed should not be refined salt, but coarse salt. Moreover, the amount of salt also needs special attention, can not put too much, otherwise koi this freshwater fish can not adapt, specifically, the concentration of 1/1000 to 3/1000 is the most appropriate.
When breeding koi, many breeders will consider laying a layer of bottom sand on the bottom of the fish tank to improve the ornamental value. Paving a layer of bottom sand is indeed more beautiful and ornamental, but the disadvantage is that they are more likely to cause water pollution. If so, in order to ensure water quality, try not to use bottom sand, you can change to not easy to pollute the rain flower stone and other substances, ornamental role is also good.
