Adequate oxygen is to the health and survival of your Koi Pond fish and other animals essential. As Pond Life uses the oxygen of the water, it must be replaced. Oxygen in the water, where these two contact each other – especially in the Koi pond surface. That is why a waterfall is such an important addition to your water feature.
As the water passes over and splashing against the rocks, it picks up large quantities of oxygen, aeration of the water. Ventilation can also be achieved with a well or water pump. These methods increase the area of water coming into contact with the air, also prevents the resulting stagnation of circulation koi pond.
Some symptoms of oxygen deficiency:
 • koi fish gasping at the surface for long time.
 • Bed death of fish, especially the larger, more sensitive.
 • Water that appears cloudy black and gives an unpleasant odor.
 • koi fish are trying to or not directly from the koi pond.
REASONS
 • Oxygen is consumed by large amounts of debris decomposing End of the koi pond.
 • Excessive amounts of algae are the Oxygen over with lily pads.
SOLUTIONS

PLANTS
Is oxygen produced under water "with oxygen" aquatic plants and algae. Plants not only to regulate the oxygen levels of your koi pond, they also cool the surrounding area. Plants that normally would not survive to thrive in direct sunlight or desert climate in the immediate vicinity of a waterfall because of the high evaporation rate. The water spurts and thins out as it rolls over rocks, increasing the surface exposure. The resulting evaporation of water to a heat exchanger, cooling the surrounding air by up to 15 to 20 degrees. The evaporation of water increases the humidity protection of plants from the harsh rays of the sun.
When adding Equipment to a waterfall, there are many places that can help the plants, such as baby tears, and various types of moss. Places that were not conducive to effective Aquatic plants could get flat or rocky areas, the syringes, the necessary moisture for the moss, baby tears (Soleirolia soleirolii) or Isotoma fluviatilis. Other plants, the water does not require a specific root-base can put almost anywhere in a waterfall as water pea, parrot feathers, and watercress.
An attribute of moss or baby's tears, that it is not necessary in a large amount initially to look great. If it receives the right amount of moisture, will grow rapidly, climbing on rocks and in other areas of the koi pond.
It is important to prevent plant the right kind of vegetation, overcrowding, when they mature. A good example is two common Pond Plants, papyrus and Horse Tail (Equisetum fluviatale). Both plants must be contained either in a planter or a separate compartment built right into the koi pond or waterfall.
Create a marsh pond or marsh planters on the extent of your Koi pond. A pond mud is an increased, deep filled shallow (6 to 8 inches) with marsh plants pond. Here is one of the best lists I've found to date with more information about this topic: (rel = "nofollow" href = "http://www.plantideas.com/bog/index.html"> http://www.plantideas.com/bog/index.html) Flood this area with a Part of the unfiltered water waterfall back and let him back way into the koi pond. You now have a very effective natural biological filter. The fish waste, such as it is absorbed by the marsh soil is, in ammonia, broken) by aerobic bacteria (with oxygen. These aerobic bacteria grow at higher rates than those of economic Nitrosomonas bacteria, which actually break the ammonia. Thus, aerobic bacteria compete for oxygen with the Nitrosomonas and use so much of that area that they inhabit is anaerobic, or oxygen deficiency.
The ammonia by-product of fish waste is broken down by aerobic bacteria is now "under attack" by Nitrosomonas. This is due to continue it into toxic nitrite. Then, the reduced nitrite by other aerobic bacteria called Nitrobacter, which convert nitrite into nitrate in the economic Form of food for the plants.
Smaller growers can create marsh on the edge of the koi pond will be in the same manner as the larger marsh pond was. As the water passes through this swamp planters and goes through the process of being cleaned, it picks up oxygen before returning to the pond.
