After they had been gone for several days, we got a call from the neighbor in a panic because the koi in the indoor pond were looking sick. We went out there to see what could be done, and by the time we arrived all the fish were belly-up. The problem seemed to be that the expensive filter system had failed, and I couldn't see any way to fix it. The only thing we could figure to do was move the nearly dead fish to the horses' stock tank. As soon as we put them in the tank, a couple of the fish revived, but one seemed to be beyond rescue. However, we left it there, and hoped the horses wouldn't think is was a toy. When we went out the next day, we found ALL the fish swimming happily in the tank. When they returned from vacation, the owners chose to leave the fish in the stock tank, and they seemed to thrive. -- Steve McIlree - Pferd, Skipper & Clust - Omaha, NE/Las Cruces, NM, USA Who would give up liberty to gain security deserves neither liberty nor security. -- Benjamin Franklin The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
