There are several reasons why koi jump out of the water. One of the most common is parasites. The parasites cause itching and pain. The fish will leap out of the water and also rub on things in the pond in an attempt to escape the itching. If your koi have parasites, you can treat with a medication called praziquantel. It is sold on pet stores and pond supply stores. Koi also will do a lot of leaping out of the water when they are spawning. Lot of chasing goes on. The females may get tired of it and leap out. Males trying to win the females may also jump. Finally, they may jump out because they are scared.
Koi fish are interesting creatures to say the least. For anyone whoâs had fish, any fish really, for any length of time, you kind of get in tune with their habits and personalities, and yes, they do differ from fish to fish. And one trait that some of them may have is that they like to jump. Now before you âjumpâ to any conclusions, you can rest assured that sometimes Koi just jump for the fun of it. Makes sense if you think about it. From Koi to carp to whales and dolphins flying freely, tell me you donât think it would be fun to go airborne if your world was mostly made of water. Some individual Koi really like to leap, and thatâs fine as long as theyâre safe. The real problem with jumping Koi, isnât so much that thereâs anything wrong in the pond, but if they donât happen to land back in the water, youâve got a problem. It might end up being their last care-free act.
