We are frantic with worry and thought we were making their pond home nicer...!

What is wrong with them.... and more importantly will they recover?

Help.....!
An unhealthy koi will sulk but more likely they just need a few days to get comfortable with their ´new´ home, they are feeling very looked at since you cleared out their favourite hiding places, they will get used to it though!
