A couple days ago I received two new Koi from Hawaii. The seller recommended to guarantine the fish from 14 - 21 days and treat them for potential diseases. Is this realistic or are they just covering their potential liability exposure?
I don't have room for a second holding pond. I put them in the bathtub with a portable filter and aerator. There is not enough water in the pond to keep it clean very long even with the filter so what potential is there if I release the Koi to the pond sooner? The Koi are doing fine and they look good.
Previously new Koi have not been guarantined with no side effects when introduced to the pond.
Thanks,
Bruce
