Koi living in mud ponds.
David Larson wrote: Hello all, I've read many threads about Koi needing to have crystal clean water in order to thrive. Then I looked at a few websites for Koi breeders in Japan, and their Koi live in mud ponds and the water is far from crystal clear. Look at these pics - http://www.tategoi.com/oomokoi/koi%20harvest.htm Now... these breeders have zillions of dollars (yen) invested in their Koi, so they need them to maintain prime health. This being the case, is it really necessary to have clear water for koi? Yes, Ph, nitrates, nitrites, and such need to be correct - but it seems the water itself does not need to be clear. What am I missing here???? - David -- the Koi dont mind the dirty water algae some bit of mud etc as long as the chemistry is OK its us that are owned by fish that like the clesr watr so we can see our prettys John Rutz Z5 New Mexico good judgement comes from bad experience, and that comes from bad judgement see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |
