Simply Koi and More Koi

Pleased to here that Geoff at least it saves you an hours work or so, I think I will leave mine until spring now as I will be covering it for the winter soon.
Nice talking to you Geoff all the best of luck hope it all clears soon.

can you imagine the food costs let alone storage for it.

hi Geoff Very nice looking pond there i have a pergola over mine with pond liner on the top unfortunately the sun still creeps in. I will have to resize some pictures so i post them to show you of the top. Not as big as your pond though now im jealous :( , i made a few mistakes like that access to c...

Hi Geoff Sorry to jump in again. PP acts as an algicide as well as clearing bacteria etc so that wouldn't be the cause of green water it can make it have a yellow tinge as it wears down having said that, Guaranteed to be an algi bloom that has started, I'm amazed you have gone so long without a uv t...

Hi Geoff Green water does not do the fish any harm in fact I have heard that they thrive in these conditions as long as long as all your nitrites etc are at the correct readings. In fact it's us that likes it as clear as Gin the fish come from muddy ponds in there natural environment and they do wel...

Hi pepsi

could be koi pox maybe it's hard to see by the picture, does it look like candle wax has been dripped on the fish. Do you have any clearer pictures unless one of the other members have any ideas.

Thanks Duncan Reading the other posts on Hikui you have responded to has certainly answered a few questions i would have had, I will give it a go fingers crossed it doesnt pop up elsewhere but i certainly will not hold my breath. How many time do you use LNS+ is it once a week until it shows signs o...

Thanks for your time Kim and Duncan scales feel smooth I will order some lock and seal from you Duncan many thanks

Hi stuW The scales are still on the fish it looks as though the colour is fading as such the bottom picture was taken around 4 months ago and I thought it may have been a pulled scale and the new one had come through however since then it appears to have got larger as shown in the other pictures aro...

Apologies for the photos guys if these are not too clear i will try and obtain some more at the weekend. I admit not one of the best fish in the pond but one of my first hence the reason why i havent got rid of her however just wondered if this is a sign of Hikui or is it just caused by the age of t...

oh ok thanks Gazza i just wondered because i have often thought about cockles but wasnt sure so freah is best by the sounds of things.

Hi Gazza

When you feed them cockles do you wash them first or is it safe to give them straight out of the jar.

I feed mine water melon when the weather is warm i found a link for the benifits to humans and the nutrition values not sure how this adds up for Koi however they must absorb some of the vitamins I also feed mine Lemons as well they seem to go mad for these. Apologies if i am not supposed to post li...

Great piece of kit worth £50 of anyones money, couple of the guys in work have them and say the same as you Duncan, they use them going through the floors in tower blocks and they do the job. cheaper than the Bosch 24 volt ive burnt two of those out so far. may ivest in one of those myself.
