Hello everyone, I googled this question but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. My moms friend has a koi pond and had one koi that was getting to big for his pond so he asked her if we could take him in because our pond is a lot bigger. My question is about quarantining this new koi. Since this koi is 4 years old and is in great condition how long should I have to keep him in quarantine? I was thinking about a week would be more then fine since I know his pond is in great condition as well. All the answers I was finding on google were saying a month but that was mainly people getting very young fish or ordering them from breeders. I have 18 koi in my pond right now and I just don't want this guy to be a problem. He will also be the largest koi that I have once he goes in the pond but I have plenty of room for him because my pond is a bit over 7,000 gallons.
I have him in one of those large black tubs inside the house for now, he's quite a beautiful fish. I'll post a picture later when I get a chance. I wasn't prepared for this because my mom suprised me with it even though I had asked her not to get it before I saw it but I came home yesterday to the koi in the tub in the kitchen. WIth mothers day being tomorrow I can't tell her to give it back haha
