Koi can survive for as long as two weeks in pond without food.
The optimum time is upto six months. Post that, upto next six months the food start deteriorating the nutrients and food quality.
Yes. Once a day is what you should feed Koi.

Water quality is the most important aspect to a pond. A pond that is well-designed will be a goodone. You need to consider the shape, depth, and filtration of your pond when designing it. Because you may encounter different types of algae, such as string algae, it is important to plan your pond algae control procedures.
Kois require a lot of space as they are messy and large. A 250-gallon pond should be at least 3ft deep to allow for 2 koi fish.
A 750-gallon pond is ideal for keeping between 3 and 5 koi fish. This will allow you to have lots of fun with your fish friends.
Koi ponds do better in a shaded area than in full sun. Full sun will work, but a shaded area will generally slow the algae growth down and will prevent the water from possibly getting too hot during the summer months.
A good koi pool is easy to maintain but the koi pools need regular basic maintenance.
A good koi Pond needs Air Pumps to maintain the Koi Pond. A pond air pump can be used in the winter season.
The best way to keep the lake water from getting overcast is to remove the excess waste and keep a regular maintenance routine.
The fish come to the surface to breathe in absence of adequate oxygen.
Few days to few weeks can be consumed to clear a pond with the UV filter.
Koi are social animals that have many personalities. However, they are charming and non-
aggressive. They are compatible with many pond mates, from fish to snails.
Our top recommendations include:
● Hi-Banded Chinese Shark,
● Apple Snail
● Golden Tench
● Trapdoor Snails
● Common Goldfish
These pond mates were chosen because they can thrive in the same water conditions as koi
fish and have similar non-aggressive personalities. Many of them can also be bottom feeders
and algae eaters, which will
keep your pond clean.

UV lights can kill the algae cells exactly the way it kills other microbes.
You must never look directly at a
UV light tube, it will hurt your eyes. The tube glows blue so if it’s working you will see a blue light behind the viewing window.
The lifespan of ultraviolet pond lights is approximately one year to one year and a half. Most pond owners will replace their bulb every year. This is usually when the water temperature rises enough to allow for thorough cleaning.
Generally, the better, and most common, placement is right after the filter. In fact, a lot of the biological filters (that have a uv light built in) place this uv light after the filter itself. There are a couple of good reasons for this: The uv light works more efficiently when the water flowing along it is clearer.
No. it is not
advised to have too much UV in a pond. The UV device only affects the algae cells.
Yes. The UV clears the koi pond completely. UV provides clear water.
UV offers effective way to purify the water. The Ultraviolet (UV) rays can penetrate the microbes in water as well as kills the fatal pathogens.
No. in the initial days, the fish get issues. The fish can survive with the UV light.
Yes. Keep it on.
