 3 Of My Koi Died Today :-(
Hi
Unfortunately we lost 3 koi today, a 27" Grass Carp, 26" beautiful Sanke and a nice goldfish, i have that horrible feeling that they have died from a lack of oxygen
I observed the sanke yesterday taking big gulps at the surface and then making large bubbles and also other fish in mid water barely swimming with the gills working hard
We have only one airstone and a venturi that doesn't bubble (We have bought 2 grundfos pumps only last week to get it working again, but havent got round to fitting it) this is for a 4000 gallon pond with 20 koi and 20 goldfish
I feel really gutted that I hadn't rigged something up. I have the hose going to aerate the water now and they are swimming freely and some are gathering near the hose where the pond has a bit of air
My question was, do you think I am on the right lines with the aeration?
The koi didn't have any blemishes or wounds, when i netted them they had their mouths open and the sanke's gills were open :-(
Cheers
Jamie
