Give your koi a good home
A koi’s beauty is easiest to enjoy when the pond supports its long-term health. Before choosing a fish, think about the space it will have as an adult and how you will maintain stable, well-oxygenated water.
Before you buy
Tell us your pond’s dimensions, filtration, current fish, and water test results. We can help you decide which fish may be appropriate for your setup. A new pond should be prepared and tested before koi are added.
Everyday care
Maintain filtration and aeration, test water regularly, watch how the fish swim and feed, and avoid sudden changes to the pond. Feed according to water temperature and the needs of the fish rather than a fixed year-round routine.
Introducing a koi
Plan the arrival and acclimation before pickup or shipping. Ask us for instructions specific to the fish, season, and your pond. Discuss a separate observation or quarantine setup for new arrivals when appropriate.
Seasonal care
Pond conditions change with the weather. Prepare filtration and feeding routines for warm and cold periods, and check equipment before severe conditions arrive.
Ask before you add a fish
Every pond is different. Contact us before pickup or shipping if you would like help thinking through pond capacity, water quality, arrival, or acclimation.
