Reputation Level:  |  chagoi koi not looking good
got one of these on monday and it settled in fine to start with along with another koi. Feeding great (supplier did say they aint been in very long) but for last 2 days it seems very docile and is not swimming around very much. Not fed for 2 days and when it does come to top it sticks its head out and just swims very slow, If i go near it it will swim off and looks ok but then back to as it was before.
Any ideas all other kois seem fine even the skittish one is now out and about.
Am i worrying about nothing? |

mmmm, maybe just settling in, but I would suggest speaking with the supplier.
I guess you didn't quarantine them or anything? Have you tested your water at all?
Hope it works out for you & the chagoi  |

It makes me mad that people aren't interested afterwards; if it was me, I certainly wouldn't go there again with that attitude! | |

You need to do a scrape if your water is ok then it could be parasites don't salt bath until you have done a scrape. | |

hi there
The said fish died i'm afraid. Took all water and fish to the local shop and they checked it all was fine with water but tbh they did'nt seem bothered. All other fish now fine as well so reckon it was a bad fish. Looking at upgrading pond so will be some new posts soon! | |
