Koi Health and Koi Care

Lets Talk Koi Care, Health and Quarantine

I have seen many people needing quarantine systems for their koi. Here are some of the basics and I will try to make this as brief as possible. Here are 7 great reasons to have great koi care:
  1. The koi you have now are more than likely healthy.
  2. If you plan to purchase more Japanese koi, you put the koi that are healthy at risk.
  3. Birds, Frogs, Raccoons and anything else that can get to your water have the ability to bring in unwanted parasites and/or bacteria.
  4. Your koi are no doubt valuable to you, probably even your most loved pet.
  5. Your koi may be large and worth more to you than a simple quarantine set up.
  6. If your already healthy koi do get sick, then where would you put them?
  7. Do you also have koi medications and a medicine cabinet for your koi as you do yourself?
There are many more reasons. Your koi are valuable to you. Believe me, you do not want to be pu in the position where you need a system and then not have one. In comparison to your current pond stock of koi, a quarantine system is pennies on the dollar. Depending on how big of a system you need, a small pond can get away with spending around $100.00. Large koi and ponds can run up to $1500.00 and up.


We are seeing a major need for this so we are providing Taylor made quarantine systems to our customers. Price would be depending on how big your need is and what you would like to add to the system. We will do everything we can to get you into a quarantine system as cost effective a possible.

Try and always quarantine your new koi for at least 21 days before entering them into your current stock of koi.

For more information please see the other blogs on this site.

  3. Good blog. I try and advise our customers to use like a Koi flexi bowl then add sick fish with lots of air and treat them away from the main pond, saves money and the medication has a stronger affect on the Koi as its more isolated.

    Always keep checking your Koi through all the season !
