One of the most important things in keeping your Koi pond or fish pond, as well as your fish, healthy is understanding pathogenic bacteria. There are a wide variety of pathogenic bacteria that can infect your Koi pond or fish pond, regardless of any fish pond filter you might use.

The overall health of the Koi fish plays a huge role in how much pathogenic bacteria a fish can be exposed to and not get sick. To accomplish rising the ability of the fish to tolerate pathogenic bacteria, water quality in the fish pond must be kept as high as possible. Check ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels of the Koi pond In order to keep them within acceptable limits using pond filters.
