Default Skinny Koi revisited

That certainly could be the case. The biggest one and the smallest
one seem to be doing fine, especially the 'big' one, but the two in
the middle have what I would call concave stomach areas. I know they
are eating at least some and currently they seem an energetic as the
others. I realized after my post that I am less concerned about this
being a 'disease' since they have been in a 20 g tank for 3 months or
so and it doesn't seem to affect two of them. Still I am not
certain. If no one sez to the contrary by Sat. I think I will just
walk on the wild side and relocate them.
Thanks for the response.
