Amount Of Fish In the Koi Pond

New Koi keeper habits place the fish in the koi pond in the number of lots.This is not a good habit, because too many fish in the pond will not grow well and can even die. The number of fish that inhabit in the pond will affect to the pond water quality. Good Pond Water quality will support koi fish grow to the optimum. Poor pond water quality make fish do not grow to the optimum condition. In addition to the number of fish,the other factors that affect to the quality of pond water are water filter, water pump and foods. In this opportunity we will study the number of fish in the pond.


To determine the amount of koi fish in the pond can be used formula as follows:

Number of fish = l x w: Fish Size: 150
l = Pond length (cm)
w = Pond Width (cm)


The size of the fish we will enter for example 10 cm
=
200 x 100: 10: 150


Number of Koi Fish = 13

Or with the table as follows:

Age of Koi(Year)	Lenght of Koi (cm)	depth of pond (cm)	Amount Of Koi/4m2(fish)
1	+- 15	20-40	40
2	+- 30	30	10
3-5	more than 40	30-45	2-5

This Terms not fixed standard,With good water filter, good pump system , and good pond design can be load in the amount more fish and stay with the optimal growth. Adding a waterfalls in the pond will improve water quality, because the waterfalls would result in more oxygen which is very useful for the koi fish.
