Lets Talk Koi 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 breif as possible. Here are 7 great reasons:

1. The koi you have now are more than likely healthy.
2. If you plan to purchase more koi you put the koi that are healthy at risk.
3. Birds, Frogs, Racoons 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 a medicine cabinet for your koi as you do yourself?

There are many more reasons. Your koi are valuable to you. Beleive me, you do not want to need a system and then not have one. In comparison to your current pond stock of koi, a quarantine system is a few dollars. Depending on how big of a system you need, a small pond can get away with spending around $100.00.
