How To Buy The Right Japanese Koi Fish

When choosing the right Japanese Koi fish, there are many factors to consider. But “the right” fish means different things to different people. A Koi fish that is absolutely perfect for you might not be a good match for your friend. And never, ever decide on a fish by a photo alone. Be sure to meet your new little friend in person. That’s the only sure way to make sure that you end up with “the right” fish.

In order to land the Koi fish pet of your dreams, here are some guidelines and tips that you should know before stocking that Koi pond.

Koi Fish Food

How To Choose Koi Fish Food

It’s one of the best parts about keeping a Koi pond in your yard or (if you’re lucky enough) your indoor, walk-in terrarium. Feeding the fish! But what kind of Koi fish food should you feed your little friends? How does one pick the right kind of nourishment?

Feeding Time!

If you are a Koi fish in someone’s decorative pond, few things give you more joy than feeding time. Which is okay because it’s fun for the person feeding the fish as well. Fish figure out pretty quickly that, when they see you approaching the side of the pond, it’s time to chow down! They’re happy. They’re excited. And you will take great enjoyment in their frenzy.

Pond Skimmer

Should You Get A Pond Skimmer?

You’d really like to have a Koi pond, but you’re wondering how to keep an outdoor pond clean. Koi pond owners go with a pond skimmer with which to help assure the cleanliness of their pond. But, as with most things, there are different grades (or qualities) of pond skimmers. At Everything Koi, we feature PondBuilder and Atlantic skimmers.

In fact, one landscaper that featured the building of Koi ponds for their clientele, when installing a large pond with two waterfalls, actually included two skimmers for optimum cleanliness!
