Pernahkan anda melihat secara tiba-tiba ikan koi kesayangan anda tidak lagi lincah (cuek) dan enggan mendekati ketika anda memberi pakan? Atau ikan anda terlihat gelisah/ berusaha melompat dari kolam? Itu artinya kondisi ikan koi anda mungkin saja sedang sakit.


Tanda fisik ikan koi yang sedang sakit, secara umum adalah :

  • Menyendiri dari kelompok ikan-ikan koi lainnya.
  • Berdiam diri didasar kolam dengan sirip yang terbuka.
  • Sirip samping dan sirip atas robek/luka
  • Gelisah
  • Sisik dan kulit memutih seperti bintik-bintik atau berselaput
  • Mata memutih berselaputMulut memegap dengan irama yang tidak beraturan (seperti terengah-engah kekurangan oksigen).

Penyakit pada ikan koi dapat disebabkan oleh :

  • Kutu air, mudah terihat oleh mata. Kutu air berbentuk seperti mata kail/ jangkar yang kecil dan melekat pada badan ikan koi.
  • Virus, yang termasuk susah untuk dideteksi namun sering menyerang ikan koi.
  • Jamur, karena merupakan materi yang sangat kecil sehingga tidak mudah terlihat secara kasat mata. Menyerang pada seluruh permukaan kulit ikan dan sangat terlihat jelas bila telah menyerang bagian mata ikan koi berselaput putih.
  • Bakteri. Sama halnya dengan penyakit jamur, bakteri yang mengganggu ikan koi tidak terlihat oleh mata. Tanda-tanda setelah terserang penyakit ini biasanya ikan koi menjadi gelisah.
  • Air kolam atau akuarium yang tidak bersih, sehingga parasit dan penyakit diatas berkembang dan menyerang koi kesayangan anda.

Cara mengatasi koi yang sakit ( Pertolongan Pertama Pada Koi – P3K)
Langkah pertama yang harus segera dilakukan, setelah anda melihat tanda-tanda ikan koi yang sedang sakit, lakukan tindakan-tindakan sebagai berikut :

  • Segera pindahkan (isolasi) ikan koi yang sakit pada kolam/aquarium lain agar tidak menularkan penyakitnya kepada ikan koi yang sehat.
  • Jaga temperature air pada akuarium isolasi.
  • Berikan aerasi/ oksigen yang cukup dengan menggunakan pompa udara (Air Pump)
  • Hindari memberi makan pada koi yang sakit secara berlebihan. Sebagaimana halnya manusia, ikan koi yang sakit tidak memiliki nafsu makan yang baik sehingga bila anda memberi pakan yang banyak justru akan mengotori akuarium/ kolam isolasi.
  • Berikan pengobatan secara cepat dan tepat ( obat dan bahan yang sesuai dengan penyebabnya ).

Simple Tips : Koi Digestive system

Sponsored Links

What will be happened if your attractives Koi fish instantly did not want to feed meals in colder season? Don't wondering if you're in this situation.
I discovered that's been a lifesaver for me and many others.
Here's a simple tip :

Because the Koi's digestive system virtually comes to a stop during the colder seasons of the year, it is generally recommended that feeding should be tapered off during the fall, with a complete halt to feeding when the water drops CONSISTANTLY below 55 F.

Feeding can then slowly be resumed in the spring, when the water is CONSISTANTLY above 55 F.

61 degrees + - Twice daily or more

56 - 60 degrees - Once a day

51-56 degrees - Two to 3 times a week

46-50 degrees - Once a week - Do not feed again until spring when water temperature reaches 46 degrees...

46 degrees - Do not feed

Get a good quality thermometer from your local Koi Dealer.
