Hi
All.
Through this winter I have spent a lot of time reading about our hobby.
I read the other day that kio breeders always breed there fish in green water and not clear the theory being that the dark green water brings out there colour.
Anyone have a theory on this?
Is it wise from summer to summer to allow the pond to go green and not turn the uv on?
Any anglers out there if there is when u pull in a fish from a lake,river,ect the colours on some r beautiful and there don’t always live in clear water?
Ok a little to think about get the grey matter working.

| Look at the mud ponds in Japan. I think the main reaon we want clear water, is for us to be able to see and enjoy the fish. Gin clear water is not necessarily the healthiest, but clear healthy water is an aid to us getting the most out of our hobby. I clay our water every week, and it's cloudy for that day, I have been told this refreshes the water and enhances the koi colouration. I also do it because I don't change the water very often, so it tops up the natural water nutrients. |

| I let my pond go green for 3-4 at the start of every season, it brings out the colours of the koi a treat, they really do shine, and the shine last for msot of the season. As for breeding, all carp prefere to breed in mirky water, ask any keen carp angler about carp spawning, they churn up the mud and make the water mirky before they begin, it get worse during the process, one reason most koi owners do not enjoy regular spawning from thier koi, the water is to clear. |
