HOW TO FEED KOI PROPERLY TO PREVENT THEY GET SICK AND DIE | FOR BEGINNERS Hello friends and koi lovers throughout Indonesia, welcome back. This time, we'll discuss how to properly feed our koi. This is to ensure our koi don't get sick easily and stay healthy. 1. Feed at specific times 2. Prioritize quality over quantity The most important thing when feeding koi is to avoid overfeeding. It takes a maximum of 5 minutes for koi to consume all the food they're given. Therefore, feed them little by little and evenly. This means that all koi receive an appropriate amount of food for their body weight. Often, keepers who want their koi to grow quickly give them excessive amounts of food at one time. This is the wrong approach. Accelerating koi growth isn't about increasing the amount of food, but rather by providing quality food containing the right protein for growth. It's important to note that koi don't have a stomach for digestion. Therefore, if koi eat excessive amounts at one time, the food will be wasted as waste, and the excess ammonia will actually degrade the quality of the pond water. Worse, it can actually make your koi susceptible to illness. Therefore, feed your koi only in small amounts and in moderation. 3. Koi require only 2% of their body weight in food per day. Koi are known for their voracious appetites. They will devour any amount of food they are given. However, they won't fully absorb it if they overfeed them without careful attention. For example, feed your koi only for 5 minutes. If you haven't finished feeding your koi within 5 minutes, it means you've overfed them. Immediately remove any remaining food and discard it. Another example is if you're feeding your koi and they've already defecated, it's likely they've overeaten. It's best to stop feeding them. Feeding them after defecating won't properly absorb the food. Instead, it will create excess waste, contaminating the pond's quality. So, excess food will be wasted. Instead of promoting healthy growth, your koi will become more susceptible to illness. 4. How often should you feed your koi? This is a frequently asked question by koi enthusiasts. Every package of fish food you buy will provide instructions on how often you should feed your koi per day. The most common indication is 2 or 3 times a day. This is sufficient to meet your koi's protein needs. This method has certainly been researched and proven by professional breeders. Therefore, it can certainly promote the growth of our koi and maintain the quality of our pond water, preventing cloudiness and high ammonia levels. Besides feeding, the most important factor is maintaining good water quality. Water quality is what will maximize the growth of our koi. However, many people feed their koi more than five or even ten times per day. Yes, that's possible, because they are professionals in managing their koi ponds, accustomed to maintaining and maintaining water quality, have excellent pond filtration, and are able to maintain other conditions for maintaining their fish and pond professionally. Over time, we will understand this. 5. The Ideal Time to Feed Koi The ideal time to feed koi is three times a day: morning, noon, and evening. Ideally, at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and finally at 4 p.m., or allow a 3-hour feeding interval after the first feeding. After 3 hours, the koi's food is usually well-absorbed. Also, avoid feeding your koi at night, or after 6 p.m., as their metabolism slows down at night, which is detrimental to their digestion. And... the next tip is in the video, guys.
