CJ,
I very much agree with DTTK I have the same problem like yours last month, and i did a water change evry other day 10% to 15% and dechlorinate the water.
regarding the koi,watch your koi closely if they spawned in your main pond,its not good because koi milt will contaminate your pond water.look for the koi that is bloated and put her on a separate pond if you want them to spawn.to do koi spawning net the female gently put her in a big heavy duty plastic bag and transfer her in spawning pond,let her float in the pond for 15-20 minutes before releasing her.do the same thing with the male after an hour or two and put spawning material in the pond, like spawning rope or brand new mop head or any soft stringy material.the very next day you will see males chasing your female koi.(two male koi)
rgds and happy spawning

. It will serve as food for koi. Makes your pond looks natural too. If you really want to reduce it, just shade the pond. Foam on the surface of pond means too much protein and other dissolved organic compounds in water. Changing some water daily (abt 10%) and reducing feeding should clear up the water.
