    Something eating my Koi- ideas

    Herons swallow the fish whole or toss them aside. I’d go with a mink. If so you’re in trouble they are tough to get rid of. I had a friend who had great luck with bobcat pea he bought on the...

    Swollen Koi

    Help, Favourite Koi in Dire Need !!

    Way to small of a living space and sorry to say, it may be just the dirty glass but the water quality looks poor. Koi don’t belong in a tank. Stick to goldfish.
