Out of 9 I moved, only 1 remains. My father in law has an incredible problem with any koi under 30cm being eaten I assume. I am not sure by what bird though. I don't have any pictures. But I will take some tonight. It is basically 4X5 and about 1-1.5m deep. It is in front of the house and there is a roofcoverying most of it, it is about 2 stories above the pond though.

We found him when we went to feed this morning. Fortunately he was still alive. In the process of trying to catch him his tale was damaged. 1) Do they grow back? 2) Does he need treatment? 3) Is Euthanasia required?

They are part of the culture, much like dogs and cats are here in America. One big difference, however, is that most of these wet pets outlive their owners. In fact, fish are often passed down from generation to generation, as the valuable heirlooms they are. In one village, the fish in a family's pond had been passed down through so many generations , that the original ancestors who'd kept these prized fish could not even be recalled.

Fish seems unable to stay upright keeps swimming on its side and not really eating. I have put it in a separate container in the pond and are trying to hand feed but not really taking much in.

Our pool is a rim flow pool and is fibre glassed black. The conversion was done by Gavin from Koi Garden. The length of the pool is a glass wall hence all guests who dine in our restaurant look straigth into our pond. 1) I would like to add a pump that blows bubbles from the ground up... is this a good or bad idea? do you know anyone ...

- filters are off
- water was staning while it was being fixed for about 10 days
- hardly any water circulation no UV light

Pond is green, visibility about 40cm, 25 little koi that are in now very happy.

Since Sunday morning, filter working 100%, UV light on and happy.

How long should I wait to see if it clears before taking other measures?]]> Algae / Green water / Blanket weed Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:56:24 GMT http://koionline.forumotion.com/algae-green-water-blanket-weed-f47/green-water-challenge-t1075.htm#6421 http://koionline.forumotion.com/algae-green-water-blanket-weed-f47/green-water-challenge-t1075.htm http://koionline.forumotion.com/chat-koi-related-f33/shade-for-pond-t1085.htm *ahmed*
