Koi Care: How to manage your stocks

We take care of your koi, population control is something that should be made as well. Remember that your Koi will always spawn and lay their eggs (and the other will fertilize them as well). It is in their nature, and there is only a little that you can do when it comes to it. As you check your koi's population, you should remove these unwanted offspring after they are born. 

Now you can feel or think that this is a cruel thing to do, but always remember that there are many fish in the pond will cause harm and danger to both your pond and your fish and original (especially the original parent fish). 

Why offspring are bad ... 

These children may grow up to 3 meters long. Now, if you have many children that you will keep in the pond and will grow up to this length, can you imagine how your Koi pond would look like? A pond is overcrowded and unhealthy, it is! What will happen is that the fish will not be familiar with this type of habitat that will put them in danger. 

As you create your pond, so be sure to create a filtering system for a specified quantity of fish. If you add extra fish without adding more to your system, this can cause undesirable gases and chemicals that will damage and destroy your pet. 

Getting rid of the offspring ... 

Getting rid of babies can be achieved in many ways. You can stop feeding your fish after spawning has taken place for no less than three weeks. If you think that your fish will starve, do not worry about it, they can take care of themselves if they want to focus more on natural foods, unless they are fed daily. Their diet contains their young, which they will eat them, there are still eggs and those that resemble a small insect (as harsh as it may seem, it is just a part of their nature!). 

You can also give these unwanted offspring to others who can take good care of them. You can go to local pet stores and zoos that have the same programs for this. You can also go to the local community Koi, you know. You can also choose to log on online message boards and groups, and you can send your own messages.
