does water aeration play important role on koi fish growth?
does water aeration play important role on koi fish growth? i have some koi in my pond. but no aeration system. one of my fren told me if make put water aeration system in my pond then my koi will grow very fast. How truth is this? does it really play important role?
Staff answers:
- Aeration
- Space
- Diet
are factors that affect fish growth. That doesn’t mean you need an aerator. If the water surface is agitated enough, by something like a waterfall, it will be properly aerated, provided your tank/pond isn’t overstocked.
Oxygen enters the water when the surface is agitated. If your filters can accomplish this, and your koi don’t gasp for air at the surface, then your water is properly aerated.
