are other koi dying., than the one you bought?

where did you buy the koi from? did you quarantine it for any length of
time?

last year I had a disaster, from NOT quarantining my newly purchased koi.
the seller got a 'bad' batch of koi in, (it wiped out most of his stock
also). the 'new' koi started dying after 1 week, then the rest of my koi
died, I only had about $60. worth of koi in the pond previous, so it wasn't
a HUGE loss, & the seller did replace the koi he sent to me. (not one
goldfish was affected)

the koi I received probably had KHV(?) I think it takes about 2 weeks for
incubation. & this is still a major problem in koi shipments.

now, since I have bigger koi & it would be a bigger disaster, I would now
quarantine anything.

We've had koi for about 8 years, and they're suddenly dieing. We
pumped out the pond, and put in fresh water. After waiting about a
week, we put in a new koi. It's been about 3 weeks. He appeared to be
fine, but we just found him dead. We made a mortar repair on the
waterfall in the spring, but we've done that before and never had any
problem. Also, we've done a complete water change since then. Any
ideas? We're puzzled and could use your help.
