Default shimmys

Has any body had a koi that has had a shimmy that has gone altogether? i have a 55cm kohaku that when i got the koi had a shimmy of about 3 to 5mm in size. over the last 2 month it has been getting smaller and smaller and i really believe it will go altogether very soon which will end up making the fish great again. mark

Hiya Mark.

Is it shimmer or shimmy? I thought it was shimmy Anyway, I've never experienced this and I find it quite surprising. However, I've never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so it seems like you're getting a right result there

Cheers...Freddy.

Hi ya Gaz

Yes the same has happened to me this year also. look at the fish here. when i got the kohaku it was clean as can be but this year now has two shimmys. so where it has gone on one fish its come on another.

Also gaz would you say that the skin has improved alot on this fish in the pictures since i have had it as im running a bakki shower.
