Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Koi Disease Control In 5 Easy Steps

What it you could keep your Koi fish from
contracting disease to start with. This has
occured to many pond owners who have tried it
with great success.

Hmm. Is this actually possible? Did they actually
stay healthy with no treatment? We've seen what
happens when they don't, and don't want that
happening in our pond. The negatives have been
covered very well, but why not consider the
positives? Before we let the negatives rule, the
positives deserve a fair hearing. Let's examine 5
positive reasons in favor of trying to keep your
Koi healthy to start with and pay attention to
which ones ring true.

First, forget Koi treatment for a moment..
Certainly sometimes treating you Koi for disease
is necessary.. Of course thats a common
objection. However you need to consider
preventive measures that will keep them healthy
to start with.. Remember, we can still use
treatments on the Koi when prevention fails.

Second, Koi that are under a lot of stress are
open to a variety of diseases. You may think
this is weird but nonertheless it is a fact...Koi
are easily stressed by many factors including
poor water conditions, poor feeding shedules and
predators just to name a few.

The main reason behind that would be that stress
slowly but surely diminishes their immunity and
of course a lower immune system will make them
vulnerable to any kind of disease.... healthy and
stress free Koi are much more resistant to
disease.

Third, Provide your Koi with high quality water.
the Koi have to breath in this water so it should
be clean and clear. And in addition good water
quality will drastically reduce the level of
stress of Your Koi.

Fourth, try not to overfeed you Koi. No more
than they can eat in about 15 minutes. This
creates a dirty pond which will affect their
health. You must do regular pond clean up and
keep the filtration system in good order. Feed
only waht the Koi can eat in about 15 minutes.

And Fifth, there are a varity of treatments
available when they do become necessary. In most
cases, full pond treatment will be recommended.
Occasianally individual hands on treatment will
be advised for the individual fish. You can
consult your local Koi supply store or pet store
for the best treatments. In case of a severe or
wide spread problem you may want to call your Vet.

Within all of the above info lies a very good
list of reasons in favor of keeping your Koi
healthy to start with. Reduce stress, keep your
pond clean. and do not overfeed. This should go
far in keeping you Koi fish happy and healthy for
a long time to come. That should go a long way in
keeping your life stress free as well.
