How to choose a fish tank to raise Koi fish

First, the safety of the fish tank

When choosing a koi fish tank, first of all, safety issues should be taken into consideration. One is the bearing capacity and compressive resistance of the fish tank, and the other is the depth of the fish tank to ensure that koi will not jump out of the tank.

Bearing RESPECT, WANT TO COMBINE OUR OWN ACTUAL LIVING ENVIRONMENT CONSIDERATION, NOW MANY FISH FRIENDS LIVE IN THE HIGH-RISE, THE bearing capacity OF THE floor is very limited.

In terms of pressure resistance, it refers to the water pressure in the koi fish tank. The water pressure is much larger than we imagine, so when choosing the koi fish tank, the tank must be sticky, no gaps can appear, the thickness of the glass should also be thick enough, if it is a larger fish tank, the pressure should be paid more attention to.

In order to prevent koi from jumping into the tank, a top cover should be added above the koi tank to avoid accidents.

Two, the size of the fish tank

Koi are lively and active, so the daily oxygen consumption is very high, so it is necessary to choose a relatively large aquarium. If the koi is dense and the tank is small, then it is necessary to prepare oxygenation equipment in the tank.

In addition, koi are large ornamental fish, so when choosing a koi tank, we should take into account future growth changes of koi and leave room for koi.

The performance of the aquarium is mainly for the water quality, that is, the filtration system. Whether to choose the upper filter, side filter or bottom filter, also refer to the fish tank itself to design.

Four, other aspects

We raise koi at home mainly for viewing, therefore, the fish tank also needs to be beautiful, there are many fish tank styles on the market now, we can choose according to their own preferences after considering the above points.
