Should I replace my one lost koi now, or should i wait until Spring when
things warm up.

Thanks to all

Hi carl,

I live in san diego and have purchased fish in the "off season" without
problems (man is it gorgeous today!) You will want to buy fish that have
also been kept outdoors though, so the temperature differential isn't too
great. A sudden change to a much lower temp can trigger a bought of ich.

Or even a bout of ich! sheesh.
