Default Hiding Fish and H2O is good


Hi Kris!

Usually when water problems start they actually started with overstocking.
Our rule of thumb is 20 - 40 gallons per goldfish and 1000 gallons for koi with
100 gallons for every additional koi.

It is tricky, at best, to keep water parameters going with overstocking and
once it goes out of whack, as we've recently learned, the numbers can be
adjusted but often the fish problems are only beginning.

So look at your fish numbers and see if you can do any adjusting that way.
Others will chime in.
(I have taken the coward's route. I have about 20 goldfish in 3,000.... ;-)
