SINKING K&H FLOATING DE-ICER
What makes you think it kill your fish?
Floating heaters often get blamed for burning koi during the winter when the truth is, the koi should not be up near the heater at all if things are working correctly, clean pond, some circulation, etc. If the koi are up around the heater it is due to lack of 02 in the pond. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website On Fri, 11 Apr 2003 17:37:40 GMT, CHUCK MITCHELL wrote: HI Did any one have this problem with this type of de-icer. this killed 34 of my koi.

Sorry to disagree , Jan - your pond fish will "hover" in the pond as close
to the heater as possible - they prefer warm water - that is why they stay at the bottom without a heat source above them Gale :~) What makes you think it kill your fish?

Jan is correct. Koi go to the bottom in winter (cold water) if there is adequate
oxygen. If they are up around the heater in winter or spring before the ice comes off the pond it is because there is a lack of oxygen.

If you have koi up by the heater you've got a problem to address. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |
