Goldfish Pond Management Water Quality, Nutrition, Health

The most influential organisms in a pond are aerobic, requiring a steady supply of oxygen. Besides koi, this includes plant life, and the vast majority of micro-organisms that become established in their own niche. If we supply additional aeration to a pond, besides having a direct beneficial effect on koi health, it will also boost the performance and health of the pond

Temperature swings. Koi Goldfish Feeding & water temperature

Nature dictates that if it is warm enough for fish to feed then it is also warm enough for them to utilise that food (to a lesser degree at the coolest temperatures). The poorer they do digest and assimilate food, the greater the waste that will be excreted into the pond, burdening your filter and potentially leading to a water quality problem
