DIY Koi Pond Update 2024 - Sad Day For My Koi Pond. 😩

[@Reedslife]

Sorry this happened. I lost one of my fish yesterday too. I think it was swim bladder issue but happened so fast.

[@PTranProductions]

Wow! Now that you mentioned ‘swim bladder’. One of my koi has been swimming on its side for a while now. This koi may have swim bladder issue too. 🤞👍

How’s it doing now? I haven’t lost any more so far. Knock on wood it was isolated.

[@PTranProductions]

It’s still swimming sideways but still very active. I haven’t been able to catch it to isolate from other fish. I just added some pond salt in the pond a few days ago. Hopefully that will help it and not spreading the sickness to other fish. 🤞

Sorry to hear about your lost. That's an unfortunate accident. Why wasn't the mesh grill there in the first place? Anytime there is a place for a fish to explore, they will go there regardless if there is danger or not. They don't know danger until it is too late. Make sure that the grill opening isn't big enough for any other fish to fit through.

Yes, I had the screen before but it caught too much string algae and debris so quickly at the entrance. So I want to try w/out the screen and let the leaf basket do all the work. Yes, screen opening is fairly small to stop small and that size of fish going in the skimmer box. Thank you!
