[Worldwide Koi Club] Spring pond cleaning

Hi Dave, It sounds like your pond cleaning plan is a pretty decent plan. If you have eight fish of 5-8 inches, you won’t need a container as large as the kids swimming pool you were planning to buy. You can get away with a container that holds much less water than that […]

Lenny:
Thanks for your detailed response. Some answers and comments from me:

PRE-SATURDAY NIGHT QUIZ

BASIC FACTS:
A generic submersible pump. Any make or model.
Did work great. Used to do odd jobs when and where needed. Then, one day, or night, as the case may be, it started to trip the GFCIs. Everytime it was plugged into a GFCI it tripped it immediately. When plugged into […]

Koi not eating and hiding

Well had a interesting day today. Yesterday added some salt, not enough as specified but used all I had. I also put some limestone rocks in to help the PH. Today I didn’t have time to catch one of the ailing koi to inspect it, so I put my second pump on to add a […]

[Worldwide Koi Club] Koi not eating and hiding

Hi Kim,
Have you been keeping an eye on the water parameters in your pond? When the fish died, you said they looked to be in good condition. Did you look at their gills at all before disposing of them?
I think it would be wise for you to remove the koi from your pond […]
