Sick Koi
Hi, Koi Problems
Two of our Koi are tipping forward and can not seem to get their balance, they
are both slightly bloated, one seems to go on its side also, we have a
450g pond 2 UVs and very clear water, the ph is fine and so is the oxygen
level,
<What are these actual measures?>
the only thing we have recently changed is we introduced 4 small Japanese Koi
about 3/4 inches, there are currently 4 10/12inch Koi, 2 6/8inch and the 4 new
Jap ones, please help.
Many thanks
<Mmm, may very likely be "something" from your new Koi. Did you quarantine these
new fish? Have you contacted the folks you bought them from? Whatever the root,
principal cause, I would at the very least execute an appreciable size (25% or
so) water change, or better, move the fishes (all of them) to another holding
system (like a kiddie wading pool, covered, aerated) as the cause may be some
source of acute poisoning (like an errant "bug" spray). BTW, the term "Jap" is
derogatory... Bob Fenner>
