Fresh water fish hardly takes water into its body in concious manner.
But, water gets into its body through mucosa such as gills so it is excreted as urine.
Surpisingly, amount of those is 350 ml per 1 Kg at the ratio of fish weight.
Primal components of fish urine is ammonia which is exceptionally water soluble.
Therefore, ammonia of hazardous and of highly toxic is dissolved into the pond water.
We strongly recommend to use best suited filtering materials together with quality baceria.
The reason why we begin with this line when we talk about [Mineral plus] is that we want to emphasize the importance of water condition.
It makes no sence if water condition which is the basic medium for supplying minerals is not good enough.
Please focus on the water condition all the time.
We have received a lot of inquiry in responding to our previous blog in which we are talking about Hiroshima oyster.
Thus, we would like to make supplementary statement here.
Fish and shellfish are in need of zooplankton and phytoplankton for its own nurture, likewise, iron is imperable
nutritive substance.
Iron fulvate which is derived from decomposed fallen leaves is absorbed into rain water or ground water
and it runs into the sea via river.
Especially the hardwood forest is very important for sea in terms of aforementioned process because huge amount of leaves are fallen from hardwood tree which results in forming mulch layer relatively in a short period of time.
The organic acid is derived from mulch during the process of being decomosed by bacteria and then, the organic acid decomposes minerals so that variety of minerals such as iron finally run into the sea via river.
Excuse me in straying from main subject, but, I personally enjoy going to hot springs.
Hot springs are allegedly to heal wounds, diseases. I think that this has a lot to do with the minerals.
Deeper insights into this subject would be beneficial for keeping koi and for its well-being.
