Re: Worrysome lesion on koi

Hi guys,

My Neighbour with this fish has looked over the sugested reading. Going to take a watching brief. If gets any worse then will try some of the options sugested. Not keen on the 'Final' solution at this stage.

Thanks again from both of us

Re: Food and amounts

Timely topic, I feed 3 times a day in main season, mix’s of growth, health and beauty. Fish seem happy but I was considering an auto-feeder, as I suspect I’m overfeeding a bit and not consistent with amounts feed. A local supplier was most insistent that I should feed once a day only so it did not m...
