Omg Chris, I’m so very sorry you lost your beloved Ki Utsuri 😢😭❤️ Hoping all the other fish can survive all that neighboring farms’ chemicals coming into your pond. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great update, Chris ! Sorry about your Ki Utsuri. I know your problem with the wind. Western Australia is a windy place as well and our last place was windy almost every day. Now it is much better cause we sit in a valley surrounded by trees. 👍😎

I'm so sorry about your Ki Utsuri. Losing a fish is such a bad feeling. I too have an algae problem and can't see the fish until they come up. 20+ years keeping koi and never had algae this bad for this long. I discovered the pump was shutting off periodically and draining dirty water from the filters back into the pond! We moved last year so this is a new pond with temporary everything so no check valve. I replaced the pump and installed the check valve and have been doing big water changes, using bacteria and barley extract, backwashing filters every day, put up a reflective tarp over the entire pond and still algae. Today I put some clay in there hoping that will let the filters catch the algae. I have algaecide as a last resort. I don't want to hook up the uv until the algae clears up some to let me know things are getting back to balance. I hope your pond gets back to normal sooner rather than later and your fishies all come out just fine.

Thank you for the kind words. I sure hope your pond finally clears up. I don't know what it is about this year, but I found out that even my old pond, which I sold with my house, has algae really bad. That pond never has an algae issue once it matured, so something is going on this year for sure.

@@sweetkoiyo Yes, this year is bad. If you follow Colleen Penny from Canada, she's been battling algae too way up there.

If you focus on enhancing the movement, swimming and ultimately feeding behavior of KOI as we do, as a top priority, you will improve the circulation environment of the entire pond!

Oh so sorry to hear of your beautiful fish. It's been a bad year with that horrible storms and dust and crap off farmers field. Maybe make a big fence or use some bales of hay to block wind

Yeah, we're going to get covers for next spring. It's only a problem in the spring. Thank you for your kind words Colleen ❤️

I didn't realize you lost her. I can't say anything much. I can say that I ask us to bless the water. 🙏

Sorry about the Ki Utsuri, I understand the problems you face dealing with wind in a such an open area.

Yes, I see the fish better now so it looks to be working but I'm 😢sad she didn't make it 😢 😔 I hope this keeps all the others good and healthy. I hope you figure out a solution; that's what I was thinking, something that could cover up the pond when there's bad weather like that 😢 Big Hugs 🫂 🤗 Stay sweet ❤
