The same behavior may be noticed for a while after you must dip net a
fish out if they are not used to the net. I gave away some mid-sized
goldfish in the spring and didn't see my koi for a day or two afterward.


I have a pond leaf net that I use when I'm cleaning the water surface, the fish
are so used to seeing it that they swim in while I'm cleaning, so I use that
same net to catch them when needed (which thank goodness isn't very often) but
then again, they swim into my hands too.
