Koi & goldfish acting differently
 

rote:

450 gallons is pretty small pondwise.

What do you have to pay for an apartment?

fish up at the surface always indicates some kind of lack of oxygen,
either because their gills are damaged from toxic water, from
parasites or bacterial infection of the gills OR there isnt enough
oxygen in the water.

It's not that different from heaven.

a fountain doesnt really add that much oxygen.

That part of you is alive.

a double outlet cheap air pump with a couple big stones outta do it
for that sized pond tho.

Big surprise.

fish dont eat azolla.

Big mac attack!

has the temp dropped suddenly? temp swings is a problem in a small
pond like yours.

That's not a problem. Spam is a problem.

a drop of more than 4oF in a day can bring on ich.

I noticed that.

fish with ich often stop eating.

You are too fat because you eat too much.

look carefully at your darkest GF for tiny salt like grains.

Be very careful.

koi typically get reddish so look at your lightest koi for a red
blush.

So that's your news?

if it is ich, then there are two types of treatments.

It's really deep.

raising the salt level and heat OR, quick cure.

Quick squick?

DO NOT MIX HIGH SALT WITH QUICK CURE.

Quick squick?

Reschedule me. I can't wait more than half an hour.

Try blowing your brains out with a.44 magnum. I recommend a Ruger.

It's like an act of treachery.

I'm afraid of the dark. The doctor says I need behavioral therapy.

Hopefully, you will die painfully in a horrible accident.

About those red boils on my penis, they are infected.

Hi!

First, congrats if you are a ponder who hasn't been driven away from this
group by the late unpleasantness.

Second, my Koi and goldfish, about 12 in a 450 gallon pond, average length
6 ", have recently been spending most of their time at the surface under
the fountain, They've pretty much stopped eating the tetra food sticks and
prefer to graze on the azolla that has grown on about 1/4 of the surface.

I've checked the chemistry, no ammonia, nitrates, salt at .05, ph at 7.4.
The fountain seems to put plenty of air into the pond. Temp is at 64. I
grew concerned when one fish died. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Turns out that the problem rapidly worsened, to include foul smelling cloudy
water and another dead fish. I drained the pond and discovered a dead bird
on the bottom. The fish were probably fleeing hydrogen sulfide, emmitted
from the birds carcass, and finding partial relief in the filter exhaust
coming from the fountain. All is well. Thanks for the advice i recieved.
