I LOST ANOTHER KOI POND FISH BUT WHY...🤔😞

[@KeefesKoiHaven]

So very sorry you lost one of your long timers, Andy. We can’t help but get attached to them, they are our water pets after all. Goldy had a nice life in your pond and sometimes there’s no reason why they pass, it’s just their time to go. 😢Sending a hug from US over the pond to you.

[@51kjon]

Always so very sad to say goodbye to our wet pets when their time's up, RIP Goldie, you looked after her a long time Andy. I have 6 that are over 21 years old, they're not show winners, but mean a lot to me and of course I worry about them, especially this cold weather. Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year, 🎄⛄ 🎉 Best wishes, John

[@garymiles8095]

Sorry for the loss of Goldy. Never nice losing fish at any time. All the best Andy

[@SkyOctopus1]

Very sorry for your loss. Doesn't matter what it is, dog, cat or fish.. if you bond with them it's awful losing them.

Sorry for your loss your fish

[@PureAndShrimple]

Oh wow, that's sad. Interesting though.

[@CBersPond]

Sorry to hear about Goldie 😢 Always a shame when you lose a pet. Hope you're well. Have a good Christmas.

[@paulhigginson3876]

Hi Andy, sorry to see this news. We all try our best to take care of our fish and Goldie certainly had that care for a long time. As we all know sometimes know matter what you do you can get beaten. Regardless of that it’s still a sickener to take, especially a fish of such sentimental value. Chin up, keep smiling and Best Wishes Buddy

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Thanks for that...😉👍

[@CoopersKoi]

So sorry Andy for your loss, we love 'em so much and it is heart breaking when they pass. Chin up and hope 2024 is a better year for us all.

[@NathesKoi]

Sorry for your loss Andy, 😢

[@FARMOORKOI]

Sorry you lost Goldy Andy, very sad, as you said it is all a part of keeping Koi, when you have one a long time you become attached to it, even if it is not the best Koi in the pond, hope the rest are fit and healthy and continue to be so, very best wishes, Tony😀

[@orca2166]

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

[@edenkoipond]

Really sorry for the loss of Goldie 😢 Never nice losing a pet. Best wishes to you buddy x

[@AndysKoiPuddle]

Sorry to hear you lost Goldie Andy. Never nice to lose them, but especially after that length of time….. 😔

[@berniessparrow6728]

So so sorry about Goldie Andy its always hard when you lose one of your Koi. as you say "its part of koi keeping" but still hard.

[@LouiseBurt]

Very sad I feel ur pain liked how u tried to c if anything could b learnt from passing away keep it up will keep watching u. Every day a learning day love it

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

I appreciate that.. Thanks for watching..👍

[@johnkolstad3424]

Sorry for your loss. People that don't keep Koi, really don't understand how we feel about our fish.💕

[@homer1033]

Hi Andy, So sorry to see that Goldie has passed away, Its always hard to see one of your older original carp. Such a beautifully sized Ghost Koi to. Fingers crossed it was just a one off and nothing to serious. I hate losing Koi to anything be it age or disease. ATB Kevin.

[@bobbyknox9258]

Sorry to hear mate. 17 years is pretty good for a ghosty

[@carollycett1329]

I’m so sorry to hear about Goldie passing there part of the family Have a great Christmas and new year ❤

[@GazsKoiPond]

Had a good life and was well looked after, sorry to see you lose him

[@Andy.79]

Sorry for the loss Andy 😢

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

So sorry to see this Andy. If we found this easy then it would not be right. You gave him a good life, he couldn't of asked for anything more ❤

[@PaulF68]

Awww Andy, it's heart breaking seeing em go, I feel for ya, I recently lost a female 56cm wada kirin, lovely koi, best in the pond, just seen another one the same for sale but male advertised for 2.5k 😢😢 Put it down to a ph crash 😮

[@shaunhowarth7523]

sorry for your loss andy.

[@yorkshirekoi2246]

sorry for your loss

[@RickyHughes-wl6nl]

Hi bud Sorry to hear you lost goldie, ive watched many of your videos for tips, ive built a pond in my garden out of blocks like yours, im just wondering if you know anyone who fibreglasses them, im based in Rotherham, Many Thanks Ricky.

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

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...👍

[@shaunleonard8146]

Sorry for your loss, so sad.

[@TerryOConnell-u8j]

Feel you loosing your Goldy, never easy. Only thing I would never do is feed below 8 degrees,as if the food hasn't very low fat content it will lead to internal problems. Still doesn't make it any easier loosing a fish tho. Also,to the best of my knowledge,koi can live to around 30years give or take. The bent tail was always there,could see from early on it was present,just one of those things that makes them individuals and I'm sure you mis him all the more. Thoughts are with you and of course Goldy 😢

[@STEELMANDavid]

Sorry for your loss 😢

[@ooHASTYoo]

Gutted for you mate I lost my big asgi koi a couple of weeks ago it’s not nice

[@andrewstandley3964]

Sorry for your sad loss andy

[@supergnome5462]

sorry man to here about your loss but i have lost 7 20ins babyies in 4 days water fine no paras just gone now ready to pack in after 30years😭

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

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..

[@Franklykoi]

Great shame RIP Goldie

[@asterixborden-koi6881]

Oh dear sorry for your loss mate but I’ve also just lost 2 Koi had them for 20 years couldn’t find anything wrong with them water test showed all ok got them about 3/4” long and were both 24” and 25”

[@LouDavey]

Sorry for your loss, for some they are just fish, but for many they are our friends usually with there own unique characters and for those of us who care, will miss them. I have lost some lovely friends and generally blame myself, its natural, because we want the best we can do for them. Just as humans cannot save all humans from illness, Koi keepers cannot save all Koi, we just do our best with the knowledge we have. Try not to feel blame as Goldie did well for so long and is at rest from whatever made him unwell. Have a great Christmas and keep up the great vids into 2024 so we can selfishly continue to enjoy watching Goldies pond mates and world of koi Pond Lifestyle.🙂🐟🌲🍻

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Nice one, Thanks for that..😉👍

[@andyskoipond]

Always a sad day when you lose one really good age you obviously looked after him well 👊👍

[@stevealexander6928]

Sorry to see this Andy, unfortunately as you know , it happens. Most of my fish are about 14 years old, think ive some bad times a head myself.

[@scottmo31]

Stay strong mate it’s tough I know but when I lost a fish I would always get another one same colour to remember him by stupid I know but it worked for me. 👍

[@hertskoi]

gutted for ya fella never nice to loose any koi not matter the length of time but the longer we have them the more it hurts

[@dtkoinew]

Goldy has had a good life, andy you've got to at the positives

[@orca2166]

Great age for Goldie, you gave him the best life 🐳 Feel for you always a sad day when we lose them 🐳

[@craigsb709]

Not particularly an old age at all.

[@StokeKoiAdventures]

So sorry for your loss Andy. Never nice. Feeling your pain mate. 😩🙏

[@flecky74]

Sad news. Part of the hobby as you say, but doesn't make it any easier. Losing a fish is never nice but you just have to enjoy them whilst they are here.

[@grahamhulson6611]

SORRY about that Andy, we have all been there.

[@THAT-KOI-GUY]

Sorry to see this Andy , the hard part of the hobby

[@firstname6727]

So sorry. Cried xxxx😢❤

[@sunilgharu4014]

Not sure what causes the bent spine in Koi. Could be from an injury. This lead organ failure.

[@LeTwistedOne]

Absolutely fecking gutted for you Andy bruva it's never easy losing a big Koi 💯🧁👍👍👍

[@terencegander8342]

Sorry for your lost if you can wait till spring time I have to many fish find some thing to replace him

[@koiandpredatorsuk]

Sorry for your lost mate. I know how you feel.

[@lawrencemcnally3164]

Sorry Andy ,not nice to see but unfortunately that's life ,all the best ,along as the rest are OK

[@Manchesterkoi]

Its sad when you lose any but when it's long timers or faves or ones with great personality it kills ya , i lost a ten year old very rare black spot tancho from a spawn on utsuri X with a kohaku had him from fry and was offered crazy money over the years then came home from work to him floating on surface it destroyed me

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

I feel your pain...

[@Del0909]

Andy gutted for you it's heartbreaking when you see one of your fish like that it's like losing a close friend 😢😢😢😢

[@johnnyfied1]

Sorry to hear about Goldie mate. Chin up pal

[@pommieforever]

sorry for your loss, im watching my skinny Ghost going downhill, i think every winter will be its last, but iv had him now 31 years and he is stubourn

[@Sharpeyskoi]

ah mate gutted for you. my ghostie is nearly 20 yer old

[@Chequr_Prostate]

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Koi, it’s a choker for sure. In my Koi book it’s says that spinal curvature can be caused by TB the koi has had for a number of years. In mature koi causes can be over medication, use of a particular medication, electric shock “pump in water?” , lightning, malnutrition.

[@VoodooKOIuk]

Sorry you lost another, it’s rubbish isn’t it. Let’s hope next year is much better.

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

🤞🤞

[@MultiGraeme]

Sad news

[@ces69]

Have you treated with a course of Virkon yet? Told you to several months ago after your previous problems but you never commented in any way that you had! At higher doses,(4-5 times recommended dose) can help get bacterial infections under control!

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

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..👍

[@ces69]

@@KoiPondLifestyleFrom what I’ve read it is still effective even at low temperatures and from what other KZbinrs 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!

[@darrengosling3477]

Sorry for your loss mate its never easy we can become attached to them

[@daveshone9916]

Sorry for your loss. It's never nice losing an animal in any hobby, especially when you have had them for years. I have kept aquarium fish and insects (seperately, obviously) for years now and it still doesn't get easier when they pass. Especially when it is one of your favourites. It's good to see that you try and learn what happened to them though!

What a shame. Sorry to hear this bit of news.😪

[@CescaTheDarkHorse]

Sorry to hear this sad news Andy 😢

[@LikeItOrLumpIt2107]

I've lost 4 in total this year. A combination of old age, 1 HirasawaAka Matsuba was about 20 years old and worth a good price. And I've had a few fancy goldfish where their swim bladders have failed too. It is sad to lose fish, but I'd rather they pass away in my pond than be predated. Chin up buddy 😢

Sorry to here your sad news Andy

[@thekoichannel264]

Stop feeding them Andy, they can’t process it properly below 12c

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

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

[@GwenGamble-u9v]

I'm still going through all your videos and watch poor Goldie so sad when they go, in another that i watched earlier this week you were at that time having concerns and i commented that i had also had this with a fish of a similar age a couple of year's ago, so sorry Andy!! 😢. 🧓 Gwen

[@markjones8599]

Sorry to hear. Looks egg bound.

[@carlbiggin3552]

Mate!!!!!!!!! Cannot like/thumbs up this for obvious reasons. Gutted for you. I know why it had water on board and why it had scoliosis and why it slowed down at this temp when still feeding and why it could happen to some others over the summer and into winter this year and why it also had sepsis and why there was a lot of innocent mistakes made. Next time you bump into me at Steve's do be sure to grab my number and we'll go from there....if you want of course. My best, Carl

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

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

[@carlbiggin3552]

@@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 KZbin) 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

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

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