How to know the koi health, be4 it dead
|
Can't Post

Hi there, I'm new here and this is my 1st post, as I'm quite worry my kois... as It happened that all my koi dead within 1 wk to my pond.   But, I havent give-up n add new 9 kois (japan 1, abt below 30cm) to my pond now... n they r seem to ok... Recently (19/3/07), I added new kois (malaysia koi) to my pond as my sister said they dont wana them n my dad insist to put them to the pond... even I have try my best to say no to him (as he still my dad)... so Wat I do is to QT them for nearly 3wks n add S1 for 3 days... be4 I put them to my pond, I still try to 'check' the koi, as I still notice some of them have red spots... so I only add the 1 seem ok for me (abt 9 kois).... Last 2 days, I noticed I missed my Utsuri (japan) n the others kois like to hide when I try to close to them. But they still can eat n swim like normal... just like to hiden when some 1 close to them.... even me... I suspect that the water level was too high last few days n the missed koi was cach by neighbor cat (now I hate cat n try to hav a clever dog)... Now, My concern are: 1. How to improve my reading skill to 'check' the koi health... n treatment to the koi, be4 it come worse... I jst dont wana to see my kois dead and then learn from the mistake.... although I know normally experience are from mistake we done... 2. Any 1 here have good reference koi book, n can share wth me... or anything abt to improve my skill. I stay at North KL. Thanks. Rio. P/S my pond have 2 separate pond, but water is 'link'. I put all my 8 jap carps at deep 1 n 9 malaysia carps with 21 gold fishs at smaller 1.
