Have the koi you rehomed from me survived? I realize the answer to this may be sad news, but I do hope they have pulled through. You are a good pond caretaker.
Unfortunately none of the koi survived in any ones ponds. The salinity went from what was typically 7/1000 to almost open ocean salinity which is usually 35/1000. It happened so quickly that no ones koi survived. This was the one thing we did not think to plan for. If we had, we could have relocated them to our lot we live on, and put them in a tank for the duration. But the typically king tides havent affected them usually so we did not think.... I am so sad to
say.
But on the other hand, most of the talapia survived.
