I have rebuilt my pond and added a "flower box" under the water fall. I
have tried on numerous occasions to put fish back, one or two at a

I have tested the pH, etc of the water, the paint is safe to koi, so I
suspect the plants.

Any ideas what might be the culprit, or other ideas?

First of all I would suggest Kamikaze goldfish instead of koi, til you
know the balance is right. I'm not real big on which plants will harm
fish, but there are lists out there if you google them.
If you go the the MidAtlantic Koi Club website they have some good
experts there who can help you figure out what the problem is. We were
members for many years and met some truly amazing people with years
and years of experience.
We have a leaking pond with a liner right now and are trying to find
the hole caused by a falling branch. 2 acres of land, and the damn
branch had to fall in our 10 x 17 foot pond. 20+ fish in there some
26+ inches. What to do with them if we have to replace the liner is
really a dilema.
Hope you find the answers you need. You might try Rec.ponds.moderated,
there are good people there. Where are you located?
