Do you happen to recall the water temperature when you shot the video. These guys looked hungry, healthy and begging.

 

[koiguy1969]

early to mid july,i think when i took the video, temp i dont know, but not overly warm.
but yes they were and still are happy and healthy.

 

[DrDave]

Oh, I thought these were shot this winter in your basement. The warmer (July) water explains it.

 

[koiguy1969]

oh yeah, some were, but there is a video i shot yesterday,in the basement pond ,the basement is 70* the water is 65* no insulation under liner, but the temp is consistant 2 months later.

 

[koiguy1969]

haha...keep digging...no... i realy liked it..do you have something on top of your basementpond..so that the fish dont jump over ...i lost a big one many years ago.. so after that i have a net over the basementpond..mvh/Björn

 

[koiguy1969]

funny you should ask,no not funny just coincidental, just had one on the floor of the basement thursday. it was barely alive,one of my platinums. i nursed it and god saw fit to give him a full recovery. hes alive and active, but has a little floor grit, that worked its way under some scales he has a small semicircular line of raised scales,but its getting smaller as the debris are dislodged. anyway it was my fault, i did a partial water change and forgot about the water running,and came close to overflowing,thought i would leave it for a few days....you know the rest.

 

[koiguy1969]

i see you already saw the "HOPE FOR THE BEST" thread.

 

[avance]

Of course... that was your fish that take the jump..I allready read that on the koi talk side. So are you gonna put a net over it ? My koi can jump very high...anyway..glad that your fish is feeling better../Björn

 

[koiguy1969]

yes i think that would be wise.....consider it done!!!!!!!!!!
