Danik Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know if there is a KOI fish forum like this one here in Portland/Vancouver area? I have a neighbor that wants to reduce his stock and there are some expansive fish in the pond so I am just trying to help him. thanks Edited February 2, 2021 by Danik .

Trigg Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If he can wait until spring I can find someone. Best not to move koi when the water temp is below 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gil&Fin Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Robyn and Chris, who both used to be active members here, have a pond building business (Poseidon's Aquatic Design), so they may able to help out. They are good peeps. I'll tag Robyn and see if I can get her to chime in. @Robyna_baby 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigg Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Transferring in the cold messes up their hibernation. I had to transfer my koi in the middle of winter after an idiot drove through my house, unfortunately 1/2 didn’t make it. I ended up building a new pond that’s around 11,000 gallons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
