Default My koi have become coy (have water)



I was out-of-town for a few days and returned on Sunday. Normally, I have
somebody feed my koi when I'm gone for more than a day or two, but decided
they'd be fine without any feedings. Upon returning home I gave them their
usual food and they didn't eat it. I've tried feeding them several more
times and they're just not interested. Not only that, they are also
keeping well below the surface all day long. I tested the water and all
relevant chemical levels are fine. Any ideas? Thanx!

Default My koi have become coy (have feather pond)



They may have been visited by a heron or
kingfisher while you were gone. A raccoon
usually does a good job trashing the pond but
herons and kingfishers may only leave a feather
behind. Even if they didn't catch anything the
fish will be spooked for awhile.

A video camera will work wonders while on vacation.
A automatic water heron will help.

Visit by big blue bird. Heron. They are probably just jittery.

The same behavior may be noticed for a while after you must dip net a
fish out if they are not used to the net. I gave away some mid-sized
goldfish in the spring and didn't see my koi for a day or two afterward.

I have a pond leaf net that I use when I'm cleaning the water surface, the fish
are so used to seeing it that they swim in while I'm cleaning, so I use that
same net to catch them when needed (which thank goodness isn't very often) but
then again, they swim into my hands too.

Thanx for the responses!

The kids still aren't surfacing, but I'll be patient for a couple more days
and then I'll start to panic all over again.
