When you built your pond, you probably spent a lot of time planning its design. You made sure every plumbing piece was in place. You carefully selected your filter and your pump. Everything seems perfect. While everything mechanical is in place, did you know that you need to plan your fish just as carefully as everything else?
Many experienced fish keepers will tell you that the best way to guarantee long-lived healthy fish is to buy top quality stock from local reputable breeders. This ensures you have fish that have not been overly stressed by transport, carefully bred for quality and grown on the best food.
If you aren’t lucky enough to have a local koi breeder, or you’ve already bought your koi, not all is lost! In fact, most purchased koi are from national-level breeders, have been transported and do not have confirmed breeding standards. This doesn’t mean you can’t have great fish. It just means you need to be extra careful to quarantine and feed high quality food for continued growth.
Quarantining your koi fish is absolutely necessary for koi health. Every time you obtain a new fish (regardless of source), you need to quarantine your new koi for at least 4 weeks before adding it to your existing stock. If you don’t properly quarantine, you risk introducing foreign bacteria and viruses into your stock. There are some fish illnesses, such as bacterial infections, flukes and worms that can kill your stock in one week after introduction.
Proper quarantine means no mixed water, food or contact between your existing stock and your new fish. When quarantining, you need to watch out for signs of stress in your new fish. Signs of stress and illness include a lack of appetite, discoloration on the scales/eyes, torn fins and lethargy. If you notice any such signs, there are several treatment options.
If your fish has torn fins or external lesions, you should treat with antibiotics administered with the fish food. If your fish isn’t eating after several days, you may have internal parasites. Praziquantel (a.k.a. PraziPro) or metronidazole are very effective safe treatments for internal parasites, including gill flukes and worms. We recommend NOT using Potassium Permanganate unless you have exhausted all other options. Potassium Permanganate should never be used on fish with external lesions as it will burn their internal tissues.
After you’ve quarantined your new koi, and all goes well, you can add them to your pond! Depending on your bio-load and the number of fish you add, you may need to up your water changes. Already you should be changing at least 30% of your pond water a week to keep your pH stable and nitrates low. Adding more fish adds more waste to your filter, and it may take some time for new nitrifying bacteria to build up. Water changes keeps nitrites low if you’ve recently added a lot of new fish.
On top of water changes, you should regularly add salt to your pond. This isn’t table salt or anything like that. We’re talking about salt that’s iodine-free and designed for aquarium and pond use. When you add salt to your pond, your koi will build up a thicker slime coat that supports a strong immune system. Pond salt also helps respiration in koi, and is effective in killing many common parasites. You should add 2 – 2.5 cups of pond salt per 100 gallons. You should only add more salt when you perform a water change (it does not evaporate).
For your koi, you should vary their diet instead of feeding the same pellet every day. This ensures they get enough nutrients from a variety of sources. If you have very young koi, it doesn’t hurt to feed them a hearty supply of beefheart so they grow well. Also, it’s okay and encouraged for your koi to eat some plants. This gives them plant fiber which helps prevent bloat.
Koi are beautiful hardy fish that can live for years when they’re given a stress-free environment, good <A rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.naturalenviro.com/sections.php?section=FishFood”>koi food</A> and stable water quality.

Goldfish Ponds – The Fantasy and Reality of it All
Previous homes we owned were just too small and not nearly enough space to have goldfish ponds. The fact that koi fish need between one and two gallons of water per fish in order to be healthy and happy we would only have been able to have an indoor freshwater aquarium, but we didn’t. Now, if you have ever kept goldfish successfully in an aquarium then you already have the basics for keeping your goldfish in goldfish ponds happy and most importantly healthy as well.

Puppy Housebreaking Requires a Strict Schedule
There are certain activities that will always encourage your dog to eliminate, including eating, waking up, playing, and even simply getting excited over something – such as a game or the arrival of a person. This being said, puppies also like predictability in their days. Therefore, if you create a strict schedule for your puppy – especially in terms of the activities that will encourage him or her to eliminate, then you will find that your dog will need to “go” on a strict schedule, too.

Top Techniques For Making Yourself More Physically Fit and Healthy
Dec 16th
You’ve heard all of the basics: to be healthy and fit you need to eat nutritious meals, not snack and work out regularly. You have heard these things so often that you’re tired of hearing about them. You are likely even eating like a horse and not working out like you should be because you are in a spiteful mood.
The fact is that your mood will improve and less will get on your nerves if you actually adopt healthier habits into your lifestyle. If you don’t know how you should proceed, heed the following tips. In this article we’ll teach you some tricks to make your lifestyle healthier.
There was a point in time when bathing was considered something that wasn’t good for you. Perfumes were invented for the most part to cover up the smell of unbathed bodies. Of course we found out later that bathing is in fact a healthy activity. Obviously if you bathe too often you risk stripping your skin of essential oils and cells. Once a day is sufficient to keep your body healthy. The soap you’re using should be a premium soap and you can choose to bathe in a variety of ways. Showers use more water than baths, but really-it’s up to you which method of bathing you choose. Just choose one you like and do it as often as possible. Putting to use wise Search Engine Ranking tactics enables one to effectively rank for all sorts of things, generic keywords like computer bags or more specific items like fishing carts. How many times have you been told to get more exercise. This often gets repeated because it is true. Regular exercise on a consistent basis is important. You must move regularly. Build up your energy levels by moving regularly. Your muscles require movement to keep healthy and keep you able to do the things you need. Keeping your organs functioning and blood vessels open is what happens when you exercise. You don’t exercise because you want to be ripped (though some do). It’s important to exercise for your health.
You should refrain from drinking too much. Many claim a glass of red wine at dinner can actually make you healthier. This is because of the very healthy tannins that exist in red wine. Your alcohol intake needs to be kept low. A little wine can be helpful. Lots of wine isn’t so great for you. Your drinking not only affects your liver, but it wreaks havoc on lots of other parts of your body, too. Consuming too much alcohol will negatively affect your health in several ways. So don’t drink too much so you can stay as healthy as possible. Sophisticated Search Engine Ranking methods, utilised intelligently have the ability to cause desirable serps for almost any theme varying from iphone covers to different typses of fishing carts.
There are many things you can do to stay fit and healthy. It is a little more involved than eating a few health foods and running every once in a while. There is more involved than just being physically fit and having a good diet. The good news is that, once you get into the habit of making good decisions, staying healthy is pretty easy to do!

Taking Care Of Aquarium Fish – 6 Valuable Tips For Healthy Fish
Sep 14th
Taking Care Of Aquarium Fish – 6 Valuable Tips For Healthy Fish
1. Do some research on fish and aquarium care
Learning how to take care of your fish tank and the fish that are in it is quite simple. You could read books on aquarium care, or go to the internet or ask your pet shop about how to go about this. You just must learn the proper way to manage this other wise you will be wasting a lot of money and effort and of course your fish.
Never put fish that do not have compatible living conditions in together, for they will not last and if they are temperamentally not compatible too, will kill one another. So you will have to do a lot of planning and ask for advice before putting different species of marine and non marine fish together in the same aquarium. If you are putting similar fish in the tank then make sure that you put only two of a kind.
2. Testing kits and other paraphernalia
Along with the aquarium and the fish you will have to think of getting some other equipment and accessories like floss, gravel, filters, buffers, testing kits, lights, heaters and plants. If you have salt water fish then you will have to add salt to the water every fortnight. If the water where you live is salt water it is better that you get fish that are salt water fish only. This way you will not have to do a complete treatment for the water but can maintain salt water fish without any problem.
3. Maintaining freshwater fish
Freshwater fish easily adapt to any kind of tank, where as salt water fish find it easier to survive in reef tanks. As freshwater fish adapt easier to any sort of tank it is better to start with these tanks in the beginning until you get the hang of taking care of fish and fish tanks.
4. Think of the location of your aquarium
Even before you get your aquarium you have to think of where you will be placing it. While considering the size of the tank that you want to buy you will have to decide on where you will place it and if you have sufficient place in your home for a tank of this size. It is better no to keep the tank near windows and door ways, or near heaters. The sunlight will make algae grow faster if there is direct sunlight. The room temperature should be maintained at the correct temperature also.
5. Accessories for the aquarium
You will need humidifiers and dehumidifiers to maintain the room temperature along with fish food, medicines, gravel, floss and filters. You would also require lights and heaters for your aquarium.
6. How to select the right filters?
Filters are available as internal or external filters or even under the gravel ones which are good support for your fish tank. You should see what suits your tank best and could get advice on this from the same pet shop where you bought your fish tank.

The Redox Potential in Aquariums and How it Promotes a Healthy Aquarium Environment
Sep 7th
The Redox Potential in Aquariums and How it Promotes a Healthy Aquarium Environment
This article is based on a study about the Redox Potential as it corresponds to humans and all fish and animals. I have found from practical experience and research, that a lot more can be learned from medical studies than from the anecdotal writing of many aquarists. I have found this with medication recommendations too, as many times gram positive medications such as penicillin are recommended with no chance of curing their sick fish. Back to UV Sterilization; UV Sterilization is often trashed by un-informed aquarists who do not really know what UVs can and cannot do, and also the quality and proper installation of the unit also plays a roll in the UV Sterilizers effectiveness.
This pertains to the Redox potential of -300-350 mV that can aided by a properly installed UV Sterilizer along with the correct balance of electrolytes (which can in part be measured by GH). Often aquarium information is inaccurate or anecdotal as to the importance of trace elements/electrolytes in an aquarium or pond. This misinformation also spreads to UV Sterilizers and the lack of understanding of the Redox potential (even if this is not a parameter that needs regular testing, it is still essential.
Over geologic time abiogenic (not biological in origin), biogenic (produced by living organisms) and anthropogenic (processes are those that are derived from human activities, as opposed to effects or processes that occur in the natural environment without human influences) deposits were accumulated in rivers, lakes and seas. Simultaneously there proceeded the self-purification of natural water based on the chemical reactions of oxidation and reduction. Living organisms such as fish are adapted not to “perfectly clean water”, such as distillated water, but to ecologically clean water with definite content of organic and inorganic compounds, micro-admixtures, ions and even bacteria or even fungi. The range of mentioned components of ecologically clean water is the integral result of oxidation and reduction self-purification of water.
At the initial stages of this cycle toxic hydrophobic organic compounds (molecules that are repelled from a mass of water) are oxidized to the hydrophilic forms (a molecule or portion of a molecule is one that is typically charge-polarized and capable of hydrogen bonding, enabling it to dissolve more readily in water than in oil or other hydrophobic solvents), which are characterized by the better biological compatibility. Energy of oxidation of degrading organic compounds is absorbed during reduction chemical transformations. Excess of ions of the heavy elements transforms into insoluble, inert, nontoxic forms. Concentration of ions of light elements is stabilized. Just in such water live the water organisms, and land animals drink such water.
Spring waters, which are considered to be the most clean according to the ecological criteria, are filtered through the rocks and subjected to the oxidation and reduction, sorption and catalytic influence. As rule, they are mineralized and include non-volatile organic substances, which are detected by the permanganate oxidability (expressed by oxidability by potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate).
After electrochemical purification water keeps its initial neutral values of pH, but ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) of water shifts toward the negative (electrode or reduction) values. The resulting purified water obtains the antioxidant properties with characteristics of pharmacological activity close to the properties of the antioxidant preparations (a -tocopherol, b -carotene, vitamin C etc.). In case of dilution of polyvitamin preparations in electrochemically purified water ORP of mixtures is decreased approximately by 200 400 mV in relation to the control solutions with non-treated drinking water. This partially explains how a proper Redox Potential improves the health of the fish or other aquatic organisms as I have observed. Bringing this back to my observations of goldfish aquariums; All aquariums with the same filtration (canister filter with sponge filter), the same feeding schedule and food, even the same basic goldfish (a mix of ryukins and orandas); The aquariums with the quality, properly installed UV Sterilizers not only had less incidence of disease, but general health, appetite, vigor, growth, and water clarity were all improved.
One final note about the Redox Potential; Before it seems that you must rush out and buy a UV Sterilizer to maintain your Redox Potential, you can maintain your aquarium’s Redox Potential through proper water changes with ion balanced clean water, ozone generators, even tubes in the water column with water flowing against a column of air. I have just found that a UV Sterilizer is the simplest and most predictable way to do so.

Aquarium Filters Maintain Healthy Fish And Plants
Have you ever sat and watched fish swimming gently in the crystal clear water of an aquarium. The entire atmosphere of an office or home can change as it adds a calming soothing ambiance to the environment. The gently trickling sound of an aquarium filter adds to this peaceful surrounding. The use of a good filter can make all the difference in an aquarium both in its appearance as well as for the fish that live there.
Maintenance is a person’s primary concern when wanting to have an aquarium in their home or office; they think that caring for the fish and plant will be too difficult. With the proper aquarium filter fitted in your aquarium it can save you lots of time and energy. The filter does all the hard work for you ensuring your tank is always beautiful and clean. If a person does not have a filter the process can become messy and time consuming as the job becomes more laborious. A person would have to change the water by hand every couple of days. This means they would have to remover the fish to a safe place until the cleaning job was done.
Aquarium Filters Save Time And Energy
A good quality filter can provide the perfect environment for maintaining the life of all your fish and plants. Remember a person can spend a large amount of money on the setup of the tank with beautiful fish, plants and accessories only to have them die very quickly because the quality of the water and air in the tank goes bad. The use of a good aquarium filter can provide the perfect conditions to sustain your fish, plants and their environment
A good aquarium filter will maintain an aquarium in a variety of ways.
- A quality filter works to eliminate the waste from the inside of the aquarium.
- It removes different types of debris from the tank as well. Different filters use some kind of screen or sponge to achieve this task.
- A good filter also removes any kind of chemical build up that might be in the tank.
- A high-quality filter removes or treats any unwanted biological material that is in the tank.
There are different types of materials used in an aquarium filter, and all of these can be most useful for an owner devoted to the care of their beautiful fish.
