hello all,
i have 3 koi in the pond that were wintered in a 4 foot tank they were only 2-3inches when they went in, in october.

now they have been in the pond for a couple of days, as the pond temp was 12 and tank was 13 i didnt think there was much of a problem putting them in with 1degree difference

but now after a couple of days they seem to be showing there vein's all over there body and fins.

Can anyone explain why they would be doing this as water is fine as i done a test yesterday and all was well.

i dont have a scope to do a scrape yet.

im thinking that it could be stress of the move.

thanks

yeh they are eating swimming around fine, i was told that it could be a start of a bacterial problem so i was told to try medifin and see if that works.

he did say that its not wise to treat blind but he said that medifin covered everything and it was worth ago.

so i have done that and i shall see what happens

will test water again in 2 days as adviced
