1. Should fishpond keepers treat tap water?

Copyright (c) Alec Scaresbrook. Koi need purified water.

Most fishkeepers fill up (and top up) ponds with tap water, but tap water is hardly a natural habitat for fish. So should you be treating it to make it more suitable for your fish, especially Koi?


The answer is yes. In certain areas a purifier is the only way to make sure your water is toxin-free, but you'll need to advice on how to treat the water correctly.
