Keeping Koi in Warm Weather!
Keeping koi healthy and comfortable during warm weather requires attentive care and water management. As temperatures rise, water holds less oxygen, so proper aeration is essential.
Run air pumps or fountains continuously to keep oxygen levels high and prevent stress.
Partial water changes every week help maintain water quality, remove excess nutrients, and reduce the risk of algae blooms that thrive in the heat.
It’s also important to provide shaded areas in the pond using plants, shade sails, or floating covers to keep the water temperature stable and protect your koi from direct sunlight.
Feeding should be adjusted as water temperatures climb.
Koi have faster metabolisms in warm weather, but overfeeding can quickly foul the water.
Offer smaller, more frequent meals and choose easily digestible summer formulas.
Always monitor your koi for signs of stress, such as gasping at the surface or sluggish behavior, as these can indicate low oxygen or poor water conditions.
By maintaining clean, well-aerated water and providing shade and balanced nutrition, your koi will stay active, colorful, and thriving throughout the warm months.
