FAQs
Can I leave my fish in the bowl overnight?
It is not recommended. The bowl lacks filtration and aeration systems, so fish should only be kept in it for a few hours.
Is the material safe for fish?
Yes, the bowl is constructed from non-toxic, aquatic-safe materials designed specifically for fish handling.
How much water does the 80cm bowl hold?
While the exact volume depends on the depth, it is designed to hold sufficient water for safe transport and examination of large koi.
Can I use this for other fish besides Koi?
Yes, it is suitable for any pond fish that requires temporary holding for health checks or transport.
Should I cover the bowl when the fish is inside?
Yes, if you are stepping away, it is wise to place a soft net or cover over the top to prevent the fish from jumping out.
Troubleshooting
Bowl feels unstable on the ground
Ensure the surface is completely flat and level; use a piece of pond underlayment or a soft mat beneath the bowl for extra stability.
Surface stains appearing after treatment
Rinse immediately after using medication and scrub lightly with a soft cloth to prevent permanent pigment absorption from concentrated chemicals.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Spacious 80cm size accommodates large koi comfortably
- Lightweight and portable for convenient transport

Cons
- Suitable for temporary use only; not a permanent home for fish

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the bowl for use, place it on a flat, stable surface near your pond to avoid long distances when moving fish. Ensure the surface is free of sharp objects that could puncture the bottom. When filling, use water sourced directly from the pond to prevent shock caused by temperature fluctuations or chlorine found in tap water.
Care Instructions
- After each use, rinse the interior thoroughly with pond water to remove any residue.
- Use a soft sponge and mild, fish-safe detergent if deep cleaning is required, then rinse until no suds remain.
- Always air-dry the bowl completely before storing it in a cool, shaded area to prevent material degradation from UV exposure.
- Inspect the basin for cracks or structural weaknesses before each use, especially if it has been stored for an extended period.
