Haha cool man gonna follow along so I can take better care of my koi this time round.. Only got 1 survivor from the 4 I brung in over winter.. 🙈

Red eye marks it down as a roach..plus rudd are usually a bit chunkier and have an upward pointing mouth.. It probably came in as fry 4 or 5 years ago and low disolved O² levels overnight has probably killled it.. Carp can manage with less..but youd be best advised to up your aeration and surface agitation..

Yh that was what I thought it was around 37 degrees at the time so would make sense

There can get sun burn marks mate and it you set a shade poll / patch/ sheet /up there will follow the shade all day. 20 years I have had koi but never had time to watch them and nice rud I would say too

Looks like a golden Rudd to me having been a fisherman all my life😊

Thank you

[@richd-koi]

Strange one. We had a brown fish in a pond once n assume it came in as an egg from a bird at some point 👍🐟

[@ebikehacker]

I only keep koi but a comet got in some how

[@richd-koi]

@@ebikehacker someone probs sneaked in n put it in from a bowl pond or even a herons mouth

[@hazeelec8690]

Have you got any fry for sale mate ? Thanks in advance 👍🏼

[@UkKoiFish]

Hi not at the moment as the fry are still only 1 week old I should have a few for sale in a month or so. I’ll let you know straight away when I do

[@ebikehacker]

I think people no you have a pond so they just drop out in I reckon lol
