Does anyone have any reason to think my koi might be better off with toys
or
something to do? maybe a big frozen block of ice with a bit of krill i

pong balls on the top? I wont do the upside down glass container anymo

Mine are certainly curious with new things in the pond. I can't tell
whether it enjoyment as such but they certainly have an interest in
anything new.

Some of them particularly like playing in a current. They'll swim to
the head of whatever I've got set up, then stop swimming and be washed
back down again. Their friends then have a go.
