Carpe koi can also reach one meter in length. For their well-being, they should live in large ponds with a good change of water, providing about 900 Lts of water for each adult fish.
To create it you will need a waterproof sheet, a filter able to manage the pond volume and a pump or waterfall, which oxygenates water.
The choice of number and type of fish is linked to the dimensions and total volume of pond, to the depuration-filtration and water replacement system, to the esthetical preferences and to the available budget.
They range from cheap goldfish (Carassius auratus) to the most demanding carpe koi that starts from a few hundred euros up to several thousand per specimen.
Depending on whether you have a pond with koi or goldfish and koi you have to know the right diet for your fishes, because each species has its nutritional needs.
The care of your pond provides for periodic checks of water conditions, the use of products for the correction of incorrect parameters, for the removal of any algae and the replacement of used materials.
