KoiQuanta Features Overview: Tools Built for Professional Koi Operations

By KoiQuanta Editorial Team|Updated Mar 2026

Most koi apps were built for hobbyists who want to log water parameters and track which fish are in which pond. KoiQuanta was built for something different: the operational reality of running a professional koi quarantine system, managing disease treatments across multiple tanks, and producing documentation that buyers and regulators will actually respect.

Here's what the platform does.

TL;DR

Zero mortality 14 days, eating normally, no clinical signs, water parameters stable, treatment courses complete.
Ammonia at 0.1 ppm for two consecutive days triggers a warning - before it reaches dangerous levels.
pH trending down over 3 days prompts a buffering check.
For dealers running 4-6 quarantine tanks simultaneously, this independence is critical for traceability.
Seasonal changes require adjusted monitoring schedules; automated reminders help maintain consistency.

Quarantine Protocol Management

This is the core capability that separates KoiQuanta from every other koi app.

When you set up a new quarantine batch - entering fish count, source, arrival date, and tank assignment - KoiQuanta generates a day-by-day protocol. The protocol includes:

When to add salt and at what concentration
When to administer the first praziquantel dose
When to administer the second dose (timed correctly for Dactylogyrus egg hatching)
When to expect specific disease risks based on source type (import, show, domestic)
When discharge criteria should be assessed
When the protocol ends

You're not constructing this from scratch each time. You're executing a protocol that's been built from professional dealer standards.

Observation prompts: Scheduled alerts prompt you to record observations at the right intervals. Morning and evening during active quarantine. Daily in the clearance phase. You don't miss a window because you forgot.

Discharge criteria tracking: A live checklist tracks each discharge criterion against your logged data. Zero mortality 14 days, eating normally, no clinical signs, water parameters stable, treatment courses complete. KoiQuanta tells you where you stand against each criterion - not just how many days have passed.

Treatment Dose Calculator

Dosing errors are one of the most common causes of treatment failure in koi. Underdose and the parasites survive. Overdose and you stress fish that are already compromised.

KoiQuanta calculates treatment doses based on:

Tank volume (you enter the actual volume)
Fish biomass (for antibiotic and other weight-adjusted treatments)
Target concentration for each treatment

Supported treatments include:

Salt (builds schedule for gradual concentration increase)
Praziquantel (bath and food doses)
Potassium permanganate (with organic load adjustment guidance)
Formalin
Malachite green
Antibiotics (oxytetracycline, enrofloxacin, kanamycin)
Methylene blue
Copper treatments

The calculator also flags dose conflicts - combinations of treatments that interact negatively - so you don't accidentally combine formalin and potassium permanganate.

Treatment Tracking and Logging

Every treatment in KoiQuanta is logged with:

Date and time
Product name and active ingredient
Dose amount added
Tank volume at time of treatment
Reason for treatment
Outcome observations (at 30 min, 2 hours, 24 hours post-treatment)

Antibiotic course tracking: For bacterial infection management, KoiQuanta tracks each antibiotic course from first dose to last. It reminds you when doses are due, flags if a course is stopping early, and records the completion confirmation. Incomplete antibiotic courses are one of the leading causes of treatment failure - this feature exists specifically to prevent that.

Resistance flags: When the same antibiotic class has been used multiple times for the same fish, KoiQuanta flags it and prompts consideration of culture and sensitivity testing before re-treating.

Water Parameter Logging

Daily water parameter logging with trend visualization. Supported parameters:

Temperature
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
pH
KH (carbonate hardness)
GH (general hardness)
Dissolved oxygen
Salinity

Trend alerts: KoiQuanta identifies trends before they become emergencies. Ammonia at 0.1 ppm for two consecutive days triggers a warning - before it reaches dangerous levels. pH trending down over 3 days prompts a buffering check.

Multiple tank profiles: Each quarantine tank and display pond is a separate profile with independent parameter history, treatment logs, and fish inventory. Profiles don't cross-contaminate. Parameters for Tank A and Tank B stay separate even when you're managing them simultaneously.

Fish Inventory and Photo Documentation

Each fish has a profile with:

Variety and size information
Acquisition date and source
Photo history (dated, showing pattern development)
Health history (linked to quarantine records and treatment logs)
Quarantine record links
Sale record (if applicable)

Tategoi tracking: For fish being grown on for quality evaluation, sequential photo documentation with dated records allows pattern development monitoring over seasons.

Batch tracking: Fish are associated with acquisition batches. If a problem appears in a batch post-sale, you know exactly which other fish came from the same source event and when.

Buyer Documentation

When quarantine ends and fish are sold, KoiQuanta generates buyer documentation from your quarantine records. The buyer pack includes:

Quarantine period (start and end dates)
Water parameter summary during quarantine
Treatments administered (with dates)
Health events and outcomes
Discharge criteria confirmation
Fish description and photos

This documentation:

Builds buyer confidence with verifiable records
Limits your liability if disease appears post-sale
Differentiates your operation from less professional competitors
Takes zero additional admin time - it's generated from what you logged during quarantine

Import Compliance Reporting

For koi importers, KoiQuanta supports:

USDA APHIS documentation organization
Import batch records
Domestic quarantine compliance documentation
Summary reports for regulatory inspection

Import records are linked to the domestic quarantine records, creating a complete chain of custody from Japanese breeder to US buyer.

Disease Identification

KoiQuanta's disease identification module walks you through a structured symptom checklist and returns likely diagnoses with treatment pathways. It's designed for the most common quarantine-phase disease presentations - not a replacement for veterinary diagnosis in serious cases, but useful for making initial treatment decisions efficiently.

Multiple User Access

For dealer operations with staff, KoiQuanta supports multiple user accounts with role-based access. Staff can log observations and water changes; managers have full access to records, reports, and settings. Every entry is attributed to the user who made it.

FAQ

What does KoiQuanta do that spreadsheets can't?

Spreadsheets track data. KoiQuanta manages protocols. The difference: KoiQuanta prompts you to observe on schedule, calculates your treatment doses, tells you when discharge criteria are met (or not), and generates buyer documentation from your records. A spreadsheet requires you to build all of these workflows yourself and hope you remember to follow them. For dealers managing multiple quarantine batches simultaneously, the operational difference is significant.

Is KoiQuanta only for dealers or does it work for serious hobbyists?

KoiQuanta works for any keeper who quarantines fish seriously - particularly those importing Japanese koi, those who've experienced disease introductions, or those with high-value collections. The protocol management and buyer documentation features are most relevant to dealers and importers. Water parameter logging, disease identification, and fish history tracking are valuable for serious hobbyists.

How does KoiQuanta handle multiple tanks?

Each tank is set up as an independent profile with its own parameter log, treatment history, fish inventory, and quarantine status. You manage all tanks from a single dashboard, with each tank's data kept completely separate. If Tank A has a disease event, it doesn't affect Tank B's records. For dealers running 4-6 quarantine tanks simultaneously, this independence is critical for traceability.
