Koi and Fish Health to look for in spring

Please keep in mind that unless you have regular pond cleanouts your fish are at risk.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When your fish have been hibranating for the winter they are suseptable to protozoa when the water warms up. If your pond is new to you or you have not had it cleaned in a while you need to get the pond cleaned out completely.

After the pond starts to warm up you should be watching your fish's behavour and if you see anything odd or out of the ordanary like as follows.

#1 ( Fish Flashing ) - This starts when the water quality has been poor for a long period of time.
