damn it, after 4 months the last two kois from my first batch is about to die. what's wrong with them? the gold fishes are all ok, and the water is fine (ph/ammonia), temperature is ok, WTH is wrong?

 

mingster-

If you have Chinese Algie Eaters, they may be chewing on the sides of the Koi. It happened to me once. If not, take a dead fish back to the pet store where it came from and say "WTF, I want a new one and why is this happening?"

 

Have you done a water test lately??

I wish I could afford Koi. Of course i wish I could afford a house with a pond to put Koi in. Koi are cool. I'm jealous

 

i have little baby Kois, they were $1.99 each, and i have them in a 20 gallon tank.

 

[QUOTE]i have an algie eater but i i don't know if it's Chinese...

 

thanks...I feel better now. Between this and that disscusion on watches I saw yesterday I was feeling pretty poor

 

i believe i'm the poorest of all the members here

 

JAGlady has had Koi for four years. When she bought them they were about two inches long. Now they're 16 inches long! The Koi pond is beside the back entry of the house and, though small, is a great feature.

She has trained the fish to "beg" for food! They come up to the surface and open their mouths wide like little birds. They will actually eat out of her hand!

We had three to begin with. One night they were visited by a racoon. Now we only have two.

One day I had the bright idea to practice my fly casting in the Koi pond. I thought JAGlady was going to feed my two inch parts to the recoon!
