How many koi you want to buy depends on the size of the fish tank and the koi. Koi is a large fish with a body length of 1-1.5 meters when it grows up. If the fish tank is too small, it will lead to high feeding density and prone to hypoxia. Generally speaking, a fish tank of 80 centimeters long can raise about 6-10 koi of 10 centimeters, or 20 koi of about 5 centimeters. If it is a fish pond, one square meter can raise about three 40 cm koi.

The koi basically adapt to the water temperature in the fish tank after passing through the water. At this time, it is necessary to disinfect the koi. They can be soaked in 20 ppm potassium permanganate solution for 2-5 minutes. After

soaking and disinfection, the koi can be put into the fish tank, but after putting into the fish tank, it is better to observe them for another half hour to confirm that they are not frightened or uncomfortable, and that they can swim smoothly in the water.
