Any fish that live in outdoor ponds are vulnerable to attack from would-be predators and the Koi Carp are, unfortunately, no exception. To Koi enthusiasts, these fish are adored as beautiful living jewels but to feathered or furry admirers, they are FOOD.

Now we all know that Koi are a truly beautiful fish but did you know they have personalities too? If you were to ask many Koi owners out there they will tell you that it is possible to train Koi to actually eat the food right out of your hand! You can run tests, have several people plus the owner around the pond and the Koi will gather right next to the owner who normally feeds them, no 30 sec goldfish memory here!

It can be a daunting experience as you walk into the door of the pet shop to select fish for the first time! So many types to choose from! Be warned though, there are some that can’t go together and some that are down right sick. Discover how to select the right fish today!

Before picking out koi for your pond, you need to consider where they came from. Just like the “puppy mill” problem that occurs in the pet dog market, there are national breeders and pet stores that pretty much exploit fish to make a quick buck. Fish from such dealers are stressed by hundreds or thousands of miles of shipment, are usually underfed, and are exposed to many bacteria and diseases that attack their immune systems (which have been weakened by their shipment and the resulting stress).

Yes, it’s true: despite being fish, koi need oxygen. Most people don’t realize just how important sufficient oxygen is in your pond water until it is too late. Death due to low oxygen levels is one of the most common ways many pond owners lose their fish.
