New Koi Owner Needs Some Help
|
Can't Post
|
|
I have two large concrete fish ponds. They are around 8x8 @ 4-4 1/2 feet deep. I purchased 12 butterfly koi. I put six in each pond. One pond the fish are great; eating, swimming around acting fine. The second pond I put the other six butterfly koi in. I ordered them seperately( six each order). I also made sure the six i received were the six i put into the ponds. I didn't mix and match. Well anyway the koi in the second pond were great as well for the first 3-4 days. swimming, and eating fine. Now all six fish in my second pond don't move. they sit on the bottom of the pond not eating and not moving. they swim away rapidly when they see me come up to the pond, but find a place in the corner and just lay there. Everything is fine in both ponds. Tested them, They both have the same exact pump and filter, and before i put the koi into the ponds the ponds were running for almost a month. I have no idea what has happened. Could it be the water temp.(56 degrees today) They have been acting like this for about a week. Im a little worried.
