Obviously, the koi that perished must be fried immediately. Hell, fry them
all now. That's my suggestion. You did ask.

Ponder since 1998 and still loving it.
The best fish I ever had in my pond was a channel catfish. He grew from a 2
inch fingerling to a 2 foot behemoth. And, no.... I didn't eat him.

Hi all - It is soooo nice to see the group back, albeit another
incarnation.

I bought 6 little domestic koi fry about 6 weeks ago. They range between
1 and 2 inches. I put them in an aquarium to grow them out a little
before put them in the pond - and as a quarantine. Unfortunately all but
2 don't seem to be fattening up, infact at least 3 of them are definitely
getting skinny and one died yesterday. The water is fine and the tank was
cycled from the start. In the absence of any other evidence I have to
guess it is my feeding. I have been feeding them goldfish and cichlid
flake. It seems all of them have been eating, but obviously something is
amiss. Any suggestions?
Thanks
