From ancient times, we love fish as authentic food. Everywhere in world, especially in India, there are different dishes on fishes. There are different types of fishes in world and hence in India. Among them, Koi is a popular fish. In India and in other Asian countries, Koi is breed in different ponds and lakes. Those places all called Koi pond filter. In that filter, Koi fishes are cultivated in great amount. In addition, from this filters, a huge amount of Koi fish goes all around for selling. Nevertheless, saying only these things is not enough to know about them. Here is a brief discussion about Koi pond filter.

What is a Koi pond? Koi ponds are ponds, where Koi fishes are kept for breeding. There are many factors related to Koi pond that determines the health of Koi fish. The design, the size, the architecture and the condition of Koi ponds determine the overall health and potential of Koi fish. There are some parts in Koi pond, which play a crucial role in Koi culture. The parts are as follows

1.      Skimmer: the skimmer allows the pond to be flown from the surface of the Koi pond to the river. Its main function is to transfer the water safely and without any other garbage. The skimmer collects also floating debris in order to keep the environment for Koi fish healthy.

2.      Drain: the main purpose of the drain is to drain out the excess water or water full of debris. This drainage system for Koi pond is mainly situated at the lower portion of the Koi pond so that all the impurities are drained away.

3.      Filter: filter is a very important part of Koi pond. As the name suggest the main job of filter system is to trap all the impurities and hence prepare the water to be healthy and perfect for Koi culture.

What are the parts of Koi pond filter? As the name suggests, the main function of it is to filtrate away all the impurities in the water. This filtration system is done in two parts. The two-way filtration is very essential for Koi pond culture. It makes the water very healthy and debris free. The two ways are described as follows

1.      mechanically filtration: the mechanical filtration system is made up with very common things such as brush, clothes etc. the main function of the system is to filter away all the solid impurities such as, leaves, rocks etc. as this kind of filtration system is made up with very common things, these kinds of filters are often cleaned manually or else the filtrating system may get damaged.

2.      Biologically filtration: this kind of filtering system is very important to make the Koi pond healthy for fish culture. When a folk of fish are breed somewhere, they give wastage. The wastage is nitrogenous waste.  The work of biologically filtrating system is to collect the nitrogenous waste. When they apply the nitrogenous wastes to the soil of Koi pond then the nutrient value of the soil is increased. As a result, the breeding area is healthier for Koi fishes. The biological filtrating system filtrates the nitrogenous waste to enhance the nutrient value of the pond.

Parts of biologically filtration system: there are different parts of biologically filtration systems. They are as follows

• Bed filter
• Trickling filter
• Sand filter
• Cross flow

This is very important for Koi fish cultivation. It gives the Koi pond, the right nutrient, the right environment for breeding. It is completely a scientific way to preserve Koi fish.
