It is a normal physiological state for koi to lie prone in winter. When the water temperature is lower than 10 degrees, koi is not very active. At this time, koi is not very lively, and the phenomenon of lying prone often occurs. The purpose of accumulating energy can also be achieved by lying on the tank.
2. What are the reasons for koi to lie prone to the jarIt is a normal physiological state in winter, which generally does not need to be treated. Besides physiological reasons, there are other reasons that will lead to koi to lie prone to the jar:
1. Poor water quality causes it to lie prone to the jar: Many novices change water too fast and change cleaning filter materials in large quantities, which makes koi unable to quickly adapt to the new water quality and lie prone to the jar. This can also be said to be caused by stress reaction. In this case, filtration and sterilization can be carried out, the filter can be fully opened, and nitrifying bacteria can be cultured well. In this way, the water quality will become clear and koi fish will become active.
2. The introduction of new environment leads to lying in the tank: The newly entered koi fish does not fully adapt to the new water quality, and will have the phenomenon of lying in the tank and be lazy all day long. This situation will disappear naturally after they adapt to the new environment.
3. Bacterial infection causes lying in jar: New koi carp is not disinfected, which may lead to cross infection after entering jar. In this case, it is necessary to disinfect the fish tank, cultivate nitrifying bacteria and explode oxygen to improve the water quality and keep the suitable water temperature. In this way, the phenomenon of koi carp lying on the cylinder will disappear.
