This is a sample pond. Nothing here is saved.
Loading your ponds and koi.
Add Pond Notes to your phone's home screen. It opens like an app, and you sign in on it the same way.
You can add koi and tracking details afterward. You only need a pond name to get started.
Keep your pond and koi records together in one place, from water tests and feeding to photos and care notes. Start with the basics and add more whenever you're ready.
Start by adding your pond. You can add your koi and other details whenever you're ready.
You don't need to learn everything today. Start with your pond, and use the other tools whenever you need them.
Think of Pond Notes as a place to record what happens in your pond. You can start with just a pond name and add more as you go.
That's enough to get started. You don't have to fill out every section.
Azukari is when a koi you own stays with a breeder or dealer. They care for it while it continues to grow and develop.
How do I add an Azukari koi?
When you're on the Home page, select Add pond (or Create a pond if it's your first one). Under Pond type, choose Azukari.
You can then add your koi and keep track of its growth, photos, health information, and other details while it's being cared for by the breeder or dealer.
Absolutely! Pond Notes is designed to work for everyone, whether you're just getting started or have been keeping koi for years.
You can choose what information you want to see and track.
Customize Home
When you're on the Home page, select Customize Home to choose which sections and summaries appear. You can keep things simple or display more information.
Pond settings
Open a pond and select Pond settings to customize how you track feeding and which water test results appear first. Each pond can have its own settings.
Edit pond
Need to update your pond's name, size, or other details? Open the pond and select More > Edit pond.
Equipment
Want to add or update your pond equipment? Open your pond and go to About this pond > Equipment. You can add equipment, edit existing items, and keep everything organized in one place.
Other preferences
Open Settings to change things like light or dark mode, measurement units, and how much detail you see in your koi profiles.
You can change these preferences anytime. Hiding a section or changing how information is displayed won't delete your saved records.
Simple by default. Personalized by choice.
You don't have to set up feeding when you first add your pond. You can choose how you'd like to track it whenever you're ready.
Open your pond and select Pond settings > Manage feeding. You'll have three options:
You can change your feeding method anytime without losing your previous records.
Want to see what you were feeding six months ago?
If you've previously saved and changed a feeding plan, open Manage feeding > Past feeding plans to look back at the foods and amounts you were using.
Feeding reminders are separate from recording feedings. A reminder simply tells you it's time to feed your koi. You don't have to record anything. Feeding times are set for your account, not separately for each pond.
Just tested your water? Open your pond, choose Water quality, then select Log water test. Enter the numbers from your test kit and save.
Every test you save becomes part of your pond's history, so you can see how the water changes over time.
Only test pH, ammonia, and nitrite? That's fine. Go to Pond settings > Water testing preferences to put the readings you use most at the top. The other fields will still be there if you need them.
If a reading seems unusual, double-check your test and look at what's been happening in your pond. A saved reading doesn't tell you the cause on its own.
Here's an easy way to decide:
Several fish seem off? Open your pond's Pond health section. For example, you might write down that several koi were flashing or acting unusually.
Just one koi has a problem? Open that koi's profile and select Record health. That way, the note stays with that fish.
You can come back later to see when you first noticed the issue and what changed.
Pond Notes keeps your records organized, but it can't diagnose an illness. For serious symptoms, seek advice from a qualified fish-health professional.
If you're treating your pond, you probably don't want to rely on memory for dates. Open the pond's Treatments tab and select Add treatment.
You can keep several doses of the same treatment together. Mark the ones you've already given and add the dates of any doses still coming up.
You can also set a follow-up, for example a date to check whether the fish are doing better. That's different from a date when you give another dose.
Always follow the product's directions or your fish-health professional's advice for the treatment itself.
Yes! Open your pond, select Maintenance, then Log maintenance. You can record things like a water change, a filter cleaning, or work on a pump.
Know you'll need to do it again? Add the next due date and Pond Notes can help remind you.
Think of it this way: the saved maintenance note tells you what you did. The reminder tells you what you still need to do.
Growth & Photos: Want to see how your koi has changed? Open its profile and select Log measurement to add a measurement and a photo. Over time, you'll build a record you can look back on in Growth.
You can also add photos to health records, and choose your favorite picture as the koi's profile photo in Photos.
Awards & trophies: Has your koi won an award at a koi show? Keep track of its achievements here! Open the Awards tab and add the award name, show, and date.
Notes: Want to remember something about your koi? Open Notes to jot it down, like a change in behavior, color, or something you noticed.
Yes. Maybe you want to test the water on Saturday, clean your filter next week, or check on a koi after treatment. Those are all good reasons to add a reminder.
You can add one from your pond's Due here card or open Scheduled care. Jobs due today or already overdue also appear in Needs attention on the Home page.
Finished a task? Select Complete. Pond Notes saves the original due date and the date you completed it. Made a mistake? Select Undo right away.
Need more time? Select Reschedule to choose a new due date. Your reminder stays active until you complete it.
Looking for a completed reminder? Pond reminders are saved in that pond's Timeline. Koi reminders can be found on the koi's page under Notes. You can also find completed koi and general reminders under Completed in Scheduled care.
In the phone app, Settings > Phone notifications can also send you a notification on days when something is due.
Want to see fewer upcoming tasks on the Home page? Select Customize reminders. That changes the preview, not the reminders you've saved.
Select Settings to choose things like light or dark mode and whether lengths appear in inches or centimeters.
When you're signed in, your pond and koi records are saved to your Play It Koi account. You can open them from another device by signing into that same account.
You're looking at a sample tracker. Nothing you do here is saved, and settings and backups need an account. Sign in to start your own pond history.
Want an extra copy? Export backup downloads one. Please be careful with Restore backup: it replaces the records in your account with the contents of the backup you choose.
Want someone to show you around? Take a short tour of the real tracker. It won't change or save any records.
Still figuring things out? That's okay. You can open Help whenever you need it.
Want to share feedback or report a problem? Use the Feedback button at the bottom left. It's also in Settings > Feedback.
