    @ …
    @armyfreak12345543211 Actually koi need up to .04% of salt in their water. I know that is a miniscule ammount, but the salt is needed to prevent health issues such as dropsy. Trace ammounts of salt are found in almost any natural fresh water like rivers, lakes, and streams. However in a captive invoronment like a koi pond, or aquarium there is no salt unless added.
