Habitat and Care
Habitat and Care
Koi are large carp that require substantial filtration and large habitats. A minimum of a pond over 1500 gallons is recommended long term. As a beginner to intermediate level fish, koi require large ponds with ample filtration. They can be overwintered in colder climates as long as the pond has areas of over 4 feet deep. The pond should be well established and water and be regularly maintained. Although koi will eat plants, marginal species and special techniques can be used to add plants to create a water garden. Plants can also help balance the ecosystem and utilize the excess nutrients in the water.
