    Koi not eating, lethargic and dying

    I bought 6 new koi about 3 inches long at the start of April to join my other 12 year old koi (6), carp and goldfish. After about 2 weeks my original koi stopped feeding and became lethargic and shy and have been like that ever since. The new koi, carp and goldfish are fine and feeding and growing. It's just my original koi that have stopped feeding etc.
    About 2 weeks ago one of them started turning on its side and died this week.
    It may be a coincidence that it started when I got the new koi but I'm not sure.
    The water quality is good (nh3 0.02mgl, NO2 0.04mgl, NO3 16mgl) and I have had no problems with the koi health before this.
    They look OK but are not feeding etc. I cannot see any obvious parasites or anything like that.
    Does anyone have any advice please as I'm not sure what to do and want them to get better.

    depending on where you are in Norfolk there are a few koi dealers in the general area who may be able to help. You have Selective koi sales in Norwich and I think coastal koi are in kings Lynn (might be wrong) but also there is keepers koi in Framlingham in Suffolk so again depending where you are someone may be local to help
