After long time ago, since all my koi fish died, in this moment I bought some koi fish. Why all my kois died? My kois died during my vacation for several weeks, the problem is water pump for the koi pond. The pump is not working, because there are some waste make the pump not working. So the water circulator not work.
After I go home, all my kois were died. Today I bought some koi fish, and I hope my kois can growth and have a nice color.
The water quality is very important for the Koi fish. It's important to know how to create and maintain the best water quality. If the water quality is good enough, so the koi fish will health and growing rapidly. Off course we can get the bright or sparkling koi's color.
Beside the pond water quality, we also need to know the filtration systems work. Koi pond filtration system is very important too. With the good koi filtration system, the water circulation and filtration will good work, and the water quality is guarded.
To know how to create and maintain the best water quality, how different filtration systems work, the biology of koi and how to keep them in good health, and detailed information on feeding, buying, and showing. It's available a book with title "The Essential Book of Koi: A Complete Guide to Keeping and Care". It's very interesting book regarding with a complete guide to keeping and care of koi fish.

To consider Koi Fish quality, a great number that must be considered. Moreover, considered Koi Fish also was seen by his need, his intention for the contest or to be maintained personally in the house. The assessment criterion for the contest, more complicated and details, whereas for the pond personally that was important we liked to see him.
Need time and the experience that were enough to consider Koi Fish in accordance with the standard of the true assessment. Matters that must be considered in chose Koi Fish in part body, pattern and his colour.
But how considered body, pattern and the colour, also had the foundations of his assessment. If being untangled one by one will be very wide, possibly precisely will be increasingly confused.
That are a large number of Koi Fish, please was looked for by you in this blog archive . The kinds in part:
Kohaku, Taisho Sanshoku, Showa Sanshoku, Utsuri Mono, Bekko, Asagi, Shusui, Koromo, Goshiki, Hikari Muji, Hikari Moyo, Hikari Utsuri, Tancho, Kin Ginrin, Doitsu and Kawari Mono.
The criteria in choosing good Kohaku :
good Kohaku was kohaku had the white colour was as white as snow. The better Red sign was what was dark but clear. The good red sign was what was spread all over the body. The red sign that was big better than that was small.
Kohaku that was not met/was affected by the red Sign in the head (bald head/the bald head) more invaluable. The red sign in the head must possibly did not exceed the eyes, the jaw and the cheek but might reach the nose or the eyes (the origin did not exceed).
Kohaku that had the red Sign that reached the mouth was acknowledged as "Hanatsuki".
Kohaku that had the spread red Sign/filled the head/the face was acknowledged as "Menkaburi".
Kohaku that had the red Sign that was gotten on the lip/the mouth was acknowledged as "Kuchibeni".
In the case where the form of the red Sign in the head was not good but also exceeded the eyes, the "Kuchibeni" sign was needed.
The red sign was needed was near the tail starting point, and was acknowledged as "Ojime".
Ojime most not be at a distance 1-2 cm from the tail starting point.
The rear feature, close to the tail, if could easy looking (don't be too big).
Had Kiwa that was firm and clear, not blur or had gradations.
(Kiwa was the meeting between 2 colours that were different)
The composition between the red and white colour 70: 30
Kohaku that for the contest, don't have the red sign on his cheek.
Colour of the Koi fish-pond, Most used the black or dark green colour. But had also the koi fish-pond that used the colour apart from black or dark green. Depended the owner of the koi fish-pond .
There are those that grey, there were those who are blue etc. The colour of the koi fish-pond , had several aims. Koi Fish Pond often was chosen black or dark green. His intention in part when growing moss to the wall of the pond then was not seen very spotty that disrupted the view of the eyes, because growth moss was not equitable.
The other aim was so that the colour of the fish koi could become the contrast. Moreover if the koi fish available only to be enjoyed personally, then with the unclear colour, the quality of the colour of the fish koi that was not better will look better if compared with used the clear colour. There were also those who used the clear colour that is blue young or even white. This one usually for the need of the koi fish contest , that is to test the quality of the colour koi especially the black colour. When the fish koi had kulitas good, then the colour of the koi fish will not fade, the alias will stay thick. When the quality was not better then the colour of the koi fish became faded or even was completely lost.
Was Difficult to Treat the KOI FISH ? - Koi Carp Collection
The maintenance KOI FISH was not difficult. Firstly, we must choose KOI FISH, from the form of his body, the quality, to his colour feature.

KOI SAKAI – Koi Carp Collection
Believe it or not.
Masao Kato, a Japanese businessman who was crazy about the fish koi, was willing to lend money at interest 2 billion "only" to buy a koi fish. For Japanese, koi fish not only the hobby, but has become a work of art. Moreover, he thought has been regarded matched the work of art depicted. The hobbyists want to very much had the freshwater fish that was talked about had an unique body like the wrestler sumo Japan or rikishi. From the centre of the cultivation koi fish had a quality in Sakai, Hiroshima, Japan.
The Sakai koi fish quite unique.
The measurement of his body from 15 centimetre to around 80 centimetre, in fact that could be longer than that continued to become the target. Moreover if the form of his body was proportional between long and fat, resembled the bolster in our house. The uniqueness was also shown with the colour feature in his back part. Beauty of the colour of the fish was quite delicious it was considered the eyes, especially from the upper or great view view. Not surprised if this fish was more appropriate was maintained in the pond, not the aquarium.
Because, when the fish swam there come here, fish colours so that could give the freshness of our eyes.
Historically, this fish recorded the record of the age 226 years. There were several versions of his origin. Firstly, came from the Koi book the Takeo Kuroki work that mentioned that the pretty fish these colours in fact came from Persia. Afterwards was brought to Japan by China people through the China mainland and Korea. In the Land of the Rising Sun koi fish developing fast since the last 160 years.
The second version mentioned, people China that the first time cultivated the carp fish as the young coconut would koi fish. However, after arriving at Japan, the fish breeders in Ojiya mountains, Niigata, began to try cultivated koi fish. Evidently was successful. In Japan the fish was acknowledged as Nishikogoi. Nishi meant the colours fish and Goi meant the carp fish. Because of his beauty, emerged the nickname koi the flower and the imaginary fish, now the Koi name personally in fact came from the China letter. Since 2.500 last years, to be precise to the government of King Shoko in Japan, the term koi has been known.
The koi fish has become the big industry in Japan. For Japanese, every day was time to study. From breeding so currently we know various kinds koi fish, like kohaku, taisho sanshoku, showa sanshoku, utsurimono or bekko, hikarimoyomono or hikariutsurimono, hikarimujimono, koromo or ghosiki, tancho, kinginrin, sushui or asagi, and kawarimono.
The koi fish could become the loyal friend in the house. The fish koi that could know the owner who always loved him. The fish decorated Japan this, indeed could reduce the level of stress, gave peace, as well as cultivated discipline was arranged. The owner would Koi more liked to remain silent in the house, maintained at the same time giving food. When giving food, so during the interaction between humankind and his fish. Koi that was healthy and good must know his breeder well so as happy wipe off-wipe off the head and his body.
Often happened in pond hobbyist (the beginner), koi fish that just entered in the pond, died in several days.
Moreover that was sadder was other koi fish was sick and finally died all.
Why and how the solutions?
1. Koi stress in the pocket
Koi that just was bought usually was carried by being put in the pocket of oxygenated plastic. In the condition like that could be ascertained that koi fish in the situation stress.
How not, with space that was very crowded in the pocket, koi almost could not move.
The normal matter happened when koi fish it was moving that the movement, and the normal matter also it’s method was used to move koi fish.
2. Koi Stress was susceptible to the illness.
As humankind, koi fish also had body endurance. When koi fish in the healthy situation (fit), then the illness was not easy attacked. But when koi stress, then will reduce his body resistance and really was easy to be affected by the infection. Because of that that must be striven for was guarded so that koi not stress, or minimal with conditioned so that koi fish immediately aside from stress.
3. Shortened transport time koi.
Considering koi fish in the oxygenated pocket in the condition stress, then possibly, should not be too long allowed koi fish in the pocket. Like that until, immediately carried out the action to release koi fish.
4. Released koi fish from inside the pocket.
As being known by us both from oral advice and information was written other, released koi fish from the necessary pocket of several steps in part, placed koi fish still in the association of the pocket on pond water and left him alone several times (approximately 15-30 minutes). His intention to compare the temperature of water in the pocket with in the pond. After that opened the pocket, and felt the temperature of water in the pocket with the hands, has relative was the same as the temperature of water in the pond.
When being felt by his temperature same then added pond water in the pocket until being full and let koi fish went out automatically.
This method is normally carried out to avoid the change in the condition for sudden water. But his question was whether with these steps has been enough to guarantee comfort for koi fish that just entered the pond? His answer NO.
5. Each koi fish pond had the quality of water that was different.
Not there is any the pond koi fish that was precisely the same the quality of his water with the other pond let alone being different the location/the place. The quality of pond water in the location dealer, certainly be different to in your pond. When his difference was enough significant, definitely koi fish just would increasingly improved stress.
Was not possible you did test water in the pond dealer every time you will buy koi fish.
Moreover when your pond was not supplemented with the adequate filter system.
Then whether with the existence of the difference of the quality of this water, we will not buy koi fish forever? His answer of course NO. That was certain, you must understand this.
6. Koi fish just needed the process of quarantine.
There is none that could guarantee koi fish that just was bought by you, will continue to live in your pond. But had steps that could be carried out to press the death koi fish just, that is with through the process of quarantine. They can said that koi fish that just was bought by him just very healthy, without must quarantine. For me that was the case that by chance then. Meaning that not every time hobbyist could carry him out.
Possibly because of being experienced, or the condition for his pond was equipped with system the good filter, or indeed koi fish him was really healthy that came from the pond dealer that was good also. But I was convinced when being not careful in treating him, koi fish just could cause the problem.
People say, gazed at lower fish went home in the pond was the potent method of eliminating stress.
Pretty him the colour of the koi fish decorated, was increased by the voice sound of pond water, could eliminate the fatigue after all day long worked.
Determine the Pond Function
Like the other house part, the fish-pond also needed the good maintenance.
So, when making the pond pay first attention to his function for what.
Will be filled up by the fish decorated or not.
If being filled up by the fish, the fish kind must be matched with the pond that was made.
Especially for the koi fish the depth of the minimal pond 1 meter, in order to get the koi fish quality that was good.
Moreover the growth koi fish was considered to be fast.
If only half meter, only could be filled up small koi.
That did not lose important was to maintain the supply of water.
If not the koi fish, more will keep with dirty water.
Now the koi fish absolute his filter must be clean.
Even so with the disposal of his waste.
The system of the water filter to very important to guard water stayed clean.
Don't forget every week the pond must be cleansed of moss, and a month was very much drained his water.
Indeed will be better with well water, the burden of his filter decreased.
Be careful with the river water because of many wastes.
Don't too much often drained the pond, because of the koi Fish could stress.
Koi
the KOI FISH indeed very beautiful. His colour feature that had various colours and his movement that were elegant, made the KOI FISH often was liked by the person. Previously the KOI FISH was the fish kept of the kings in China. Because of the colour feature of the KOI FISH that was beautiful, the KOI FISH was believed in could eliminate stress. Moreover also was believed caused luck for the person who maintained him. Therefore, not surprised although his price was expensive, the KOI FISH often was looked for by the person.
Currently the KOI FISH the best quality was more often developed in Japan. Therefore, several famous koi fish kinds, his name reeked of Japan, like the Kohaku, Taaisho sanhoku, Showa sanshoku, Bekko, Utsirimono, Kumonryu, Asagi, Cagoi, Ochiba etc..
The KOI FISH indeed had the expensive price. To maintain needed quite a bit of fees. Because of that not surprised when the KOI FISH more often was collected by the middle circle above. According to his history, the KOI FISH indeed not the normal fish, but the fish kept of the kings.
The KOI FISH usually was maintained in the pond, not in aquarium. Because of the KOI FISH appearance was more beautiful when was seen from above. To maintain the KOI FISH, apart from quality food, that must be paid attention to was pond water to maintain the KOI FISH. The KOI FISH only could live well in the pond that his water was clear and often contained oxygen.
