What a joy! Today we got to feed our koi for the first time this spring. The water temperature was good and they were ready.
We were really delighted t how the baby koi scarfed the food down. They say that’s characteristic of koi babies. they want to get big, and will eat anything to get there!
they’ve been eating the algae for a while, all of the fish had. but now they’ve found the food. the adult koi, the parent koi, are still fat from last year. That is the great blessing of feeding them up to the max before winter. they stay healthy.
The three white koi that were given to rescue have not done well. I don’ think they were fed up in the fall. they are in the same place as the babies, the same water conditions, so it’s nothing like that. I just think they weren’t fat enough. and it was a shock, because they were only kept the three of them together, and now there are many babies around them.
So they’re in a salt water pool right now. Salt for the koi are like aspirin. It takes down their inflammation and makes them more comfortable. Probably helps their pain too.
Please pray for the three beauties, that they get well and can live here happy.
These babies are really hungry! We’re gonna have some fast growers here! And we have some good koi. Good mixtures, and good pure.
