    @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.

    In the winter when the temp drops below 50 and you bring them inside do you stop feeding them.

  8. TigerAlbino1800 says:

    u stop feedin them, but if the pond is 4ft under or more the koi just hibernate there

  9. 04261995 says:

    so basically no matter what in the winter inside or outside you stop feeding them

  10. TigerAlbino1800 says:

    u stop feedin them cuz the food can rot inside the fish. if u have a 4ft deep pond leave the fish outside. if u dont put it in a indoor tank
