Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi Gazza Great post and ood reminder of things we need to do. At the moment I have a temparary set up and the pump is out side sitting on the floor what would you suggest would be good to cover it without causing problems? and what do you mean "soon" be getting cold. its already freezing!!...

Thank you everone for your kindness I knew if anyone would understand the people on here would. A no-body decided it would be fun to pour weed killer into m friends pond (long story) and out of the 26 Koi that went up I onl brought home 7, it has been a heartbreaking time, m friend has lost loads as...

Hi All Just a quick update, I ended up going up to Lancashire on Saturday to see what I could do to help and I ended up bringing all the Koi back with me. 5 were in a dreadful state extremley pink/red and all of them were ling on the bottom of the pond not moving clamped fin's the lot. 1 I knew woul...

Hi Stu

She has done a trickle in and out and where would she get the carbon from

Thanks Stu

Hi All I appologise in advance for such a long post but I have tried to put in as much information as I can My friend has a 10ft round pond and she went out about 6 weeks ago to find 5 dead Koi, I got her to test the water and the Ammonia was off scale, she only has a colour chart to go by and she s...

Today I got a phone call from the friend who is caring for my Koi while my house move happened and the new pond was set up. She has had most of my Koi for a while now and this Thursday I was due to go and get them and bring them home. This morning I get a phone call to tell me my Yamabuki Ogon is de...

Hi Mankey The PH up there is very very low her's is 6.5 done on a digital meter and that is stable as she checks it everyday, no scrape done but the Koi are showing no signs of flicking flashing clamped fins distress not holding themselves head up tail down or vise versa not sitting by returns. The ...

Hi Mankey Sanke If there is someone who could help her it would be brilliant but I fear the worst to be honest. Her water readings are doing really well she has Ammonia down to 0.1 and Nitrite is between 0.2 and 0.3 so she has done really well but it just is not making sense why what looks like perf...

Hi All Is there anyone who lives near Leigh in Lancashire who could possible help my friend. A few weeks ago she had a massive increase of ammonia which she sorted with lots of water changes. We do not know how this happened but since then the Koi keep dying, ontop of the water problem she has had a...

You just never know where one will turn up

Hi Dave Well it's all sounding possitive :D I think when we had problems it appears that another sittuation is rearing its ugly head we ask ourselve's what now, but to be honest we forget our Koi have been through an ordeal, so this in turn raises their stress levels. I think when a pond has had tre...

Hi Duncan Yet again another thing learned, when I first started in this koi hobby of ours, and didnt have a clue about anything the so called fish doctor we employed told me never to use formalin only malachite as malachite was all I needed to kill anything in the pond. Which is where I believed thi...

Hi Dave Here is a link for Telmin http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=where+can+I+buy++Telmin&oq=where+can+I+buy++Telmin&gs_l=serp.12...3850.8403.0.10655.15.15.0.0.0.4.1096.5520.0j4j2j2j2j0j1j2.13.0...0.0.9BJPSSiV1Uo&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp...

Hi Dave Not forgetting Duncan & Gazza for all the help and support.[/quote] Not a truer word hs been spoken. We would all be worst off without having Gazza and Duncan there, but they can give as much help and advice as we ask for but some people ask but never act on the advice given. I dont thin...

Hi Duncan Thank you for the reply, I remember a few years ago you had said that the sale by dates put on medications were not right and that as long as they were stored correctly they would be fine and still some. I have a fair few topical treatements and just wondered how long they were actually ok...
