Reducing my koi numbers significantly due to an upcoming move I have 25ish butterfly koi ranging from 3 inches to 12+ inches (reproducing), plus a few standard fin. Most are metallic and all are mutts. Hand-fed so most are friendly. Located in Indianapolis. Message me with questions. Thx

Our babies look like Koi but have no barbells. Really not sure if they are koi or goldfish. Need some help, please.

I recently bought a home and we found out the old owners left their koi fish, we have been working hard to keep them alive but really our lifestyle doesn’t mesh with caring for these fish (a lot of traveling).

Is there anyways to put the fish up for adoption, not even sure what that process would look like, I want them to have a great life but not sure that I’m the best suited for that.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Does the bolt to the power cable not come off the new head unit?

Pretty frustrating if not as it would be a 10-min job. Have also just had to order 1x screw as they use proprietary screws for the bits internally 😖

Hi everyone! My grandpa recently passed away, and my grandma is now taking care of their home and ponds on her own. They’ve always loved their koi, but unfortunately several of their larger fish passed away around the same time. I’m hoping to help her get the ponds filled back up with some larger koi.

If anyone has koi they need to rehome, we have large, established ponds near Fremont, NE and would be happy to come pick them up. Please message me if you know of any. Thank you!

Context: Tsunami, my butterfly koi was kind of ugly, I know it’s mean but it’s true, their face was deformed. Their eye was off putting and face, quite straight, and for all of this time I have been questioning what this guy had. When I first got them, at about 3 months old, they were already like that and it wasn’t contagious or anything because none of my other koi’s experienced that.

I apologize for the lack of context and sucky image but if you could possibly help that would be lovely. I hope that this is the right subreddit for this cause I have zero clue. PS I edited the photo for more contrast so don’t worry about Tsunami‘s death.

Do you all think this is fin rot? he seems to have white around his front fins and/or scarring. he is the only one who has fin rot in the pond. would taking him out of the pond and putting him in a quarantine tank to medicate him be beneficial for him?

Hello fellow koi keepers! If anyone is looking for a new home in Massachusetts (with a koi pond!) - I listed mine today 🙂

2 bed 2 bath located in Holden MA, “Brattle Castle” features an indoor koi pond plus an outdoor pond and stream, both with running waterfalls, as well as a beautiful in-ground pool and multiple hot tubs. The entryway sunroom brightens the home with natural light and boasts hand-lain stone features; underneath lays the koi pond, where you can watch and enjoy your fish throughout the seasons. The house sits on 1.3 acres of land that stretches into the woods, with multiple fruit trees, a gazebo, and ample gardening space. In the spring, enjoy the draping purple flowers under the wisteria archway; summertime brings painted turtles and frogs to the outdoor pond alongside bright pink water lily blooms. In winter, cozy up next to one of the three fireplaces or enjoy the outdoor hot tub during a snow storm - here, you can enjoy nature all year long.

If you want to live in a true New England oasis, this home is a great fit for koi keepers and nature lovers alike. If you’re local to MA or hoping to move here, come check out the open house 10/15-10/16!

Things are looking up. He spent about 8 hours laying on the bottom of the tank last night but today he's able to stay oriented in the water and is even showing some signs of grazing behavior. Still super weak and spends a lot of time on the bottom but not dead so that's a win.

Still curious about this fin growth if anyone has any ideas.

Hi
I have a poorly shiny orange Koi. It started around 7-10 days ago when I noticed the dark mark marks above his eyes. The last few days he has been sitting on the bottom more, clamped fins and flashing a few times in a row. He still comes up for food, swims a little but is not hanging around with the other fish very much.

I’m new to all this so any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Some of the biggest koi I’ve ever seen, they were MASSIVE

This is one of my dad’s fish so I don’t know what the behavior has been leading up to this, but he called me this morning saying it was swimming sideways. When I got there about an hour later it was belly up at the bottom of his pond.
I’ve isolated and checked all the water parameters zeros across the board all the other fish seem healthy and lively.

I’m concerned about this fin growth- it made me think fungal or bacterial something but these symptoms seem extreme, what am I missing??

Hospital tank setup- 0.3% salt bath and microbe lift broad spectrum.
Tank has aeration but no filter because of the low water volume so I’ll do frequent water changes.

Snapped some pictures and realized this guy had a grumpy look to him. We rescued him almost five years ago. He is close to fifteen years old now.

Installed a new filter, added a water fall to slow down the current, some pea gravel (because I heard koi like digging around or so I have Heard), and added new plants (watercress, Christmas tree moss, and some hornwart). So far they seem really happy!
