Norm, I'm not sure where you sent the message about the "no standing" but no, there are no dues to post on the forum. You can send me a private...

Birds are part of the life cycle of a few parasites that infect Koi

Maybe, place the QT on a sheet of polystyrene to slow the heat exchange temperature difference during the night if they vary that much? :shrug:

Thanks Both spots are swollen and looks like fine hairs . I sent a message asking about the no standing on my page what does this mean. Am I ok to...

Alright, so about a month ago I took my car to get it detailed. And it was a new company so I thought they must be good. I was totally wrong... 2...

Thanks Rick, I don't understand how these things work, but in the past I had heard if you water contain other stuffs, TDS is a total of everything,...

They all like to hide behind the same tight couple of rocks at the back of the pond. I think we'll move those seeing as the koi have been growing...

Thanks Steve. I am sure you are correct that controlling the temp is more important than hours of sunlight. I am excited about getting new Koi after...

Do you have a larger container? 75 gallons is very small for koi, as we generally recommend 250 gallons per fish. Your pH would indicate to me...

One thing with the water quality numbers that I would like to see improved would be the alkalinity. I like to see it over 100, though 80 is about as...

I don't see anything that would indicate an infection. I would move the fish back to a pond as 5 gallons is just too little water to be able to...

This is one that many have used,...

Yeah, Dr Jena is the one came out today. She said the trip took 30min (but it showed 1h on google map). Anyway, just think I update here to see if...

Found this water moccasin (cottonmouth) in the garden today. :eek1: It was big and fat! (kind of like me lol)

Is there a "fishy" smell? Spawns usually come with a pretty noticeable smell. I often times get an increase in foam in the spring and early...

No, I think you'll be fine. 300 gallons in full sun can heat up very fast so with your air temps forcasted to get up over 80* soon I think the ...

Well it's one of those days that I said it's time to thin the herd. The kohaku didn't yield to many results and that was the deciding factor to...

Paul, Very nice. And it looks an awful lot like physostegia virginiana. Perhaps they're relatives? Best, Bill

Is this what happens, can this be checked somehow? Actually this has happened previously but only when I used a ‘foam fountain head’

Here you go Matt, it's about 20" long and at its widest approximately 8" wide I bait it with fish food in a small pouch with some weight so it sits...

Nice "minnows" Orlando! At your convenience, please post a photo of your minnow trap. I might find one useful at some point. Thanks.

If there is no outbreak I wouldn't worry. There's always parasites waiting on the sidelines. Unstressed healthy koi are fighting off parasites all...
