Water quality is one of the most important factor affecting fish health in koi ponds and tanks. Harmful ammonia and nitrite, and low pH from acidic fish waste is very stressful to koi and other fishes. Hence, to raise happy and healthy kois, ensuring good water quality is vital. Below are some products we use in our farm that we highly recommend to all koi hobbyists that want to achieve optimal water quality for their beloved kois.
