Sad day Andy, Goldy was a real character. You gave him the best life 🐳

Thanks for that...😉👍

I appreciate that.. Thanks for watching..👍

Nice one, Thanks for that..😉👍

Not particularly an old age at all.

Hiya, thanks for that. Glad your enjoying the videos. I'm not aware of anyone to recommend for fibreglass near Rotherham🤔. My fibreglasser came from Market Drayton...👍

I feel your pain...

Thanks for that. Really sorry to hear about your losses as well. 1 is had enough never mind 7.. ☹ I've been watching my PH changing as the rains around here change the PH slightly. Others have said there rain water PH has massive differences with their ponds as they live near industries... Hang in there buddy, I feel your pain..

🤞🤞

Hiya, I did discuss that with my supplier but we decided that after the showa died back a few months ago the others were looking good so didn't do it. I might just dose the pond as a precaution but can I dose at 6 degrees? 🤔 I have to look it up..👍

@@KoiPondLifestyleFrom what I’ve read it is still effective even at low temperatures and from what other KZfaqrs say, at much higher doses than what’s recommended! I’ve used it at 5X the recommended dosage with no adverse effects to fish or filtration, in fact the Koi appeared enlivened with an increased appetite! I had a Koi with damage from Costia that just wouldn’t heal fully, was suggested that it could be down to a secondary bacterial infection and that Virkon might help, a few weekly doses later it had healed up nicely and all the other Koi appeared significantly happier too! It was apparently created for the commercial fish farms that have very high stocking levels and suffer from the associated problems that high stocking brings, intended for regular usage at high levels! I remember watching a video posted by Koi Wholesale saying the recommended dosage for most treatments was way too low but required for legal reasons and that he regularly doses at much higher levels! Obviously you need to do what you feel comfortable with, but I ramped up my weekly dosage till I was at 5X and found it to be most effective at that level. It may be that in some cases a higher dose may be required but I got the results I needed at that level without ANY adverse effects! Good luck!

Thanks for that. Interesting topic that. Some say not below 10, below 8 now you've commented 12. Also believe the fish doctor (can't remember her name) commented that you could leave that decision with the fish if they are looking for it as long as its a wheat germ designed for low temps.. Thoughts....🤔🤔 Thanks for watching

Hiya, you remember us talking about this at Steve's and concluded it was just old age??

@@KoiPondLifestyle Hi Andy the red underneath was sepsis, the bent spine was the form of scoliosis, the huge water onboard was due to kidney infection or at worst kidney failure. If infection only, the dropsy could of possibly been cured along with the sepsis by using a hospital tank, and salt, to a salinity of 0.9%. I would really recommend not to have the skypond as I would suspect both the Showa you lost earlier this year and this, may of been triggered by not being able to get back out without catching itself. Could be wrong, but just seems a bit of a pattern occuring...I am also Carl's Koi Care (on KZfaq) so I will do a video on the various stuff above and vital equipment needed plus treatment methods, once it's a bit warmer... thanks mate

Hi Carl, yes please do a video and mention this case so people can relate to the results 😊

Hiya, if its still moving it's gills, I wouldn't touch it. It could be due to the cold water. I've had them in the past look motionless then recover as the water warmed up.
