Group,
We have a 9 inch 3 year old Koi that started swimming with a spinning motion.
We isolated him and found a “puncture-like” wound just above the gill flap, about 1/8 inch in diameter. Also a reddish “bruise” on the top of him. This could be from a heron, or a traumatic injury from the mating […]
Hi everyone. I’m Rhein or Sonja. I’m new to Koi fish. I just recently bought my first only a few weeks ago. She’s not a special breed. Simply a common koi you buy in a pet store for around five dollars. But I am very interested in learning as much as I can about these […]
Hi All,
I’m new to the group, glad to find you all. We had a visit today from a blue heron and it left one of my fish with a long gash in his side. We did net him and put him in the QT, but with any movement, it really bleeds. I have added melafix […]

This came up when Lorraine recently […]
All,
Thought members might be interested in this photo of an osprey carrying quite a large koi (well it’s a carp but close enough). They sometimes fly low over my ponds but so far no trouble. I had wondered how large a koi they might be able to carry off. […]
I have a question. My Father has lost Over forty Koi fish over Six months to a disease that includes Ulcers, and mouth rot. We tried every medicine available and nothing seems to work. We are down to six Big Koi fish and have accepted that they may die too. I’m baffled by this disease […]
