Hai Readers, did you know that…
Koi can survive for close to two weeks without eating anything.
Know that if your pump ever breaks, you should hold off feeding your koi, since they use more oxygen up after eating.
Avoid sudden changes in pond temperature and other severe conditions;
the koi may not survive the resulting stress.

Severe environmental stressors are the most frequent causes of sudden fish death in garden ponds or other fish habitats, and the lack of oxygen in the water is the number 1 stressor of all.
Two major factors contributing to fish-pond oxygen loss concern blooming algae.
During daylight hours, algae make oxygen; during the night, however, the plants take oxygen.
If algae are profusely blooming, the plants deplete all the pond's oxygen during the night, which in turn, causes fish inhabiting the pond t o die.
