Koi pond owners always aim for a perfect pond, and in order to achieve a perfect one,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, it should start with the pond itself. The pond should be made in a way that not only would it be pleasing to the eye, but it should also sustain your fish quite well. Here are the 5 steps you need to take in order to have a perfect pond.
1st Step: Set Up The Perfect Environment For Your Pond
The proper size, placement, and type of the pond is very important in the construction of your pond. When we talk about the size, remember this: the bigger, the better. The fish grows quite long in a fast rate, so the factors that you need to keep in mind are the pond size and also the number of fish that you're going to put into your pond.
It's a great idea to hire a professional to build your pond (unless of course if you are knowledgeable enough in fish keeping,You are not allowed to view links.

You see, if you haven't built your pond properly the from the start, chances are you'll end up spending quite a lot of money on giving remedies to problems that might come up in the future. Also, you might not be able to ensure the survival of your fish with an improper pond setup.
Keep in mind that professionals will always give what you want. They might give their own input in decision-making, but in the end, your decision will be the one that they're going to follow. So, you can't put a blame on them if your pond will fail in terms of size, location, and others. But just be on guard with those very cheap quotes, because they may cut corners that could cause potential problems in a later period. Although there are differences in quotes, there's really no significant variations between them.
2nd Step: Learn About Keeping The Fish
When it comes to the topic of keeping the fish, it's truly an advantage for you if you have a lot of knowledge regarding the matter. Learn as much as you can about this kind of hobby before you get on with it. It's quite important to learn the necessary info yourself instead of getting inputs from other sources, such as your pond builder and product dealer (who have limited knowledge, and could be bias as they are selling their products too!). Also, these people won't be available to help you when you're going to experience some problems with your fish at home.
3rd Step: Purchase Your Pets
So now you have created your pond and the perfect environment for your fish. What you're going to do next is to buy your pets. Never purchase too much of them as they will grow great in length (about 2 to 3 feet long), and the they also breed almost on a yearly basis. Overpopulation will cause serious problems later for your pond and fish.
4th Step: Prevent Common Problems For Your Pond
To prevent pond problems, always make it a point that you put your new fish in quarantine before you put them into your current population. Watch out for illnesses such as KHV,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, as they show little or no symptoms at all.
Quarantining the new ones will help in reducing the risk and possibility of exposing your current population to harmful situations. Perform a weekly water testing, and this will help you to observe the differences in the test results before your pond will show symptoms of stress (which can save both your fish and your pond).
5th Step: Feed Your Pets
The feeding of your pets is considered to be one of the pleasing things as you have a perfect pond. Consult your dealer or local pet store about the amount of food that you should feed your pet. The feeding patterns will change with respect to temperature and season.
Treats such as veggies,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, fruit, bread, and others that you can buy from the store are good for them. The good thing about Koi is that it can be trained to feed from their owner's hand (this, however, might take a certain amount of time and patience). This, coupled with a good and beautiful construction of your pond, is sure to provide quite an entertainment for both you and your visitors.
