📝 CARE NOTES

Best suited for a spacious, well-filtered pond because it can still reach a substantial adult size. Provide excellent oxygenation and strong biological filtration due to heavy waste production. Feed controlled portions because short-bodied Koi may be more susceptible to obesity and digestive problems. Avoid sharp decorations that could damage its long fins.
