Koi fish how to keep water, whether it is koi fish or other ornamental fish, want to keep them well the most important thing is to keep the water well, only to ensure the water quality of koi fish is possible to grow healthily, water quality is not good is easy to cause koi fish sick, that koi fish how to keep water? Let's take a look at it.

One, why to raise water

Generally speaking, the water used for raising koi carp can be divided into several types: groundwater, river water, artificial disinfection water, lake water. Among them, most of the water is artificially sterilized, and some chemicals are left in the water after artificial disinfection. Chlorine is typically a residue left in the water after water treatment. And chlorine is toxic, with a large number of chlorine tap water directly breeding koi, serious people will cause koi chlorine poisoning, leading to death.

Secondly, the water body without water nourishment does not have a complete nitrification system, and many harmful toxins to koi cannot be transformed. The more they accumulate, the slightly weaker koi will appear poisoning symptoms and finally die.

So, "fish first raise water" raising water is a successful start of the first step.

Two, how to raise water

How to raise water? In fact, it is very simple, the steps are not very tedious, is to see if you can do it well, have patience, water is an urgent work. If you hold the mentality of muddling along, it is difficult to raise good water. Water raising can be divided into the following steps:

1. Disinfection of fish tank and fish tank: Do a good job of disinfection to ensure that the fish tank itself is free of toxic and harmful substances.

2. Injection of oxygen: many fish friends used to breed koi water are directly using tap water, said above, tap water more or less will have excess chlorine, and these chlorine in the condition of oxygen will reflect, from the water out. This is a quick and effective way to eliminate residual chlorine.

3. Turn on the water circulation: discharge the filter material well, turn on the pump, let the water circulate, pour in nitrifying bacteria, and keep the water supplied with oxygen.

4. Add small fish: at the beginning, you can put small fish, the number can be mastered about 2-3, it is best to eat can pull type of fish. And observe the changes in water quality and the state of the fish breaking out of the tank. If the state of the fish breaking out of the tank is not very good, you can fish out one and add nitrifying bacteria. After a few days, if the state of the breaking fish is good, you can moderately increase the number of breaking fish, so as to reciprocate, for about half a month.

Step 5 Prepare the fish: Raising water after half a month or so, you can start preparing in the fish, but you need to note that because cross cylinder number and size of the fish, after all, and the main fish is different, it is easy to cause nitrification system temporarily unbalanced small fluctuations, this time the main fish entering the cylinder need to pay special attention to the change of water quality and the main status of fish, can also be a small amount of adding nitrifying bacteria every day, Accelerate the multiplication of nitrifying bacteria.

Three, water matters needing attention

1. The water should be aerated or trapped in the sun, and the residual chlorine should be removed.

2. The amount of filter material should be reasonable to ensure the oxygen supply of koi fish tank.

3. Ensure a stable amount of organic matter to promote the establishment and balance of nitrification system.

4. On the premise of ensuring balance, gradually increase the amount of organic matter.

What is "organic matter"?

Organic matter in water refers to feed residue, fish feces and other substances. It can be said that organic matter is the origin of nitrification system, sufficient and moderate organic matter will be helpful to the establishment and improvement of nitrification system. If the organic matter is too much, it will cause the water to explode and become foggy. If the water is found to be foggy, it means the nitrification system has broken down or is not established, and the water needs to be replenished and the nitrifying bacteria added.
