Scaredy Kois Can't Post

Hi Koi gurus

I am a newbie to this hobby, started in early dec 2001. Got a question here, hope all of u can enlighten me Smile
All my kois are quite timid. They would swim normally in the tank but when i approach the tank (6x3x2 feet)they would dash and hide into a corner (under the water outlet from the filter box). They would only come out during feeding time after much coaxing, 2 of them do eat from my hand though but they would follow the rest and dashed in after eating. Very frustrating that i can only admire their grace from a distance....
I was thinking of adding a chagoi to tame the rest but would like to know the effectiveness of this method. Hope anyone out there with similar experiences can drop me a few lines here. Thanks!!!

Distance admirer...

SmileHi Liew,I picked up this hobby about 8 months.With Khoo help,managed to have my koi posted.Don't know the types, need help from "gurus".This is how I tamed my kois. let them hungry for few days and creat water turbulent at the water surface.This is to distort the reflecting images as we approach the tank.At night,try not to cast shadow onto the water surface,it will frightened them.I used a table lamb to light up when night fall.Stationed at one corner,creat a knocking sound to attract them and throw food pallets to draw them near to the corner.Surprisingly,it took within a week to calm them. Now,whenever I sit near the tank,they will rush toward and wait for food.I will fiddle them with my hand before feeding them.Try it.My FB tank size is 4ft x 4ft x 1 ft deep.Filter is a 10 gallons plastic drum.

Coolcheers!!!!

Hi Kenny,

While typing, there is no need to hit return to go to the next line and the editor will be able to wrap it automatically just like any word processing software. Hit return only if you wish to start a new paragraph.

Cheers

Hi Kenny,
I like the way you describe your experience. Like Rambo planning his mission!!
Mine was almost the same too until I introduce a Chagoi to the pack.
Regards,Cool
