Koi can also get sunburn, especially in water that clear. This is common in non metallic varieties with white in them. However sunburn tends to look...

I don't know the cause, but thought I'd respond since this question has been here a week. The white area of koi can become a little pink when they...

Maybe another Snapper or the monster Snapper found his way back. The lily pond is only 2 ft deep at the most. I will try skimming the net around...
