Preparing Your Pond for Summer: New Japanese Koi, Water Quality & This Saturday's Live Auction

As summer settles in, our ponds become more active and our koi begin feeding more confidently. It's an exciting time of year, especially with new Japanese koi arriving and our weekly Saturday Live Auction continuing to grow.

With warmer weather comes greater responsibility for maintaining excellent water quality. Healthy koi thrive in stable conditions, so now is a great time to check your filtration, ensure good oxygen levels and monitor your water parameters.

Keep Feeding Sensibly

As temperatures rise, your koi's appetite naturally increases. Feed little and often, only providing what they can comfortably consume within a few minutes. Overfeeding can quickly affect water quality.

Maintain Crystal Clear Water

Good filtration remains the heart of every healthy pond. Regular maintenance, cleaning filter media correctly and monitoring water quality all help create the stable environment your koi deserve.

Welcome New Koi Carefully

If you're introducing new Japanese koi this summer, take your time acclimating them. Allow temperatures to equalise and monitor your pond carefully during the first few days.
