So back in July I bought this nice looking Ochiba. He swam normal. Looked normal. Then he disappeared deep into the pond and didn't see him for weeks. I thought he was gone. Just like the sock you loose in the dryer. Suddenly I started to see him. Just for a second and then he was gone.
A few more weeks passed and I didn't not see him. Never came up for food. Never ever socialized.
Finally got to see him again but I knew something wasn't right this time.
I could tell he was swimming but not using his tail for any momentum. I caught him two days ago and has a severe angle to his back. Not quite the letter "Z" but that's the shape he is heading. Seems to be eating and "swimming" the best he can. SO from what I read there isn't much I can do?
No other koi have this issue. I have felt around what pumps are in the water so I am not thinking any electrical issues.
Let him go back in the pond and let him live happily ever after?
Thanks for any insight
