Take a water sample to a fish shop and get an ammonia and nitrite test.
both should be 0ppm
I'd would pull fish outta new pond until ya can be sure the waters ok

Of course I did.
they were in a bag floating on the water for about 3 hours before we
released them.

I bought some new fish on the internet and released them into my empty
pond yesterday. I have two 16" koi in the main pond, so I put the 9
new ones in a different pond till they get bigger. They are pretty
much staying on the bottom and I have not seen them move much. I fed
them this morning and none came to the surface.

I hope you acclimated them to the new water slowly and didn't just dump
them
out into your pond?!?!?!?! If there was a large difference in the temp
and/or PH of the water it may take them awhile to recover.



Wondering if others have had this experience and if it's hopefully
fine?
