Update on the Koi

[NicoleLJ]

Sorry but my friend said to be healthy a Koi needs a 1000L tank. The ponds they build are13,600 l. big so please spare me the drama of saving the poor little fishies. Yeah, videos mean a lot don't they...hope they last longer than poor Luca's videos.
And spare me the song about the landlady , John has filled me in on things.
For those poor fish I can only feel sorrow.

DOn't you dare bring Luca into this. It broke my heart when I had to find him a new home. And I have no idea who this John person is. Certainly not the lady who got Luca. SO you shut your mouth. You are not even worthy to talk about Luca. I did the best I could by him and he is now very happy. As for helping these fish if it makes me a bad person in your eyes good. I will keep helping them to the best of my ability. I have only lived here since last week. I can only do so much and I think considering all I am doing quite well.

Ive kept tankbusters, stingrays, and shovel cats. Ive also had way to many plecos in a tank for breeding.

If you have the recomended filtration for the size tanks you have, double or triple it. Ive used carbon and charcoal in the filters with good results on crowded tanks but never anythin to absorb ammonia.

Koi, goldfish, stingrays, and most catfish are all poop machines and mechanical filtration is best and alot of it.

If you not on the second floor of your building consider an indoor pond.

I can feel sorry for Luca same as I feel sorry for the Koi. He was taken out of spite and he paid the price. Again everyone gave you advice about him which you refused to follow so please spare me----go tell it to Dr. Phil....

How dare you little witch talk like that about Luca. He was not given away out of spite. You shut up about things you know nothing about. Part of my heart left when he had to leave. You have no heart at all. That is for sure. Now you drop the subject of my Luca or else I will bring up all your dirt. Like how you rejoined this list under a different name,(Mike001) or how you are a stalker, or how you can never back up anything you say. or how you are an expert on everything or knows someone that is on everything but can never prove it.

At least I can prove who I am, at least I am trying to help these fish that were given to me. At least I am trying to follow some of the advice that makes sense to me and that I can afford.

You on the otherhand have nothering to spew but insults and ugliness when it comes to anything about me and I am sick and tire of it. GO find a new victim this one just quit!

I think this thread needs to be locked. And I hope you take my advice about buying a water testing kit.

Good advice.

Hopefully you at least have the minimum size filters for those tanks.

You might be better off putting shepgirl on ignore.

I don't think it should be locked. There is good information and advice about koi, if someone should need it in the future.

I do, however, think that all posts containing personal insults and not pertaining to the topic ought to be deleted. Take it PMs, where it belongs.

I'm not saying any of it to be mean Nicole, but I would hate to see you end up paying and maybe having it cause you financial trouble in the future. A 90gallon setup is very expensive and takes a very large filter etc. Three tanks is a LOT of upkeep and not cheap. I would just keep them in the tanks you have for now, if you get a good filtration system for the larger tank, you can safely keep them in there short term, hopefully until a pond is built in the spring. Investing so much in a temporary housing for fish that weren't even yours to begin with will hurt you in the end, I truly beleive that. I don't know why the landlady went and bought MORE fish for you to have to take care of...that doesn't make a lot of sense, but if you invest in a high quality filter, like someone suggested, they will be better of for the short term while a pond is built, and it will be less expense and work for you. I know you are new to fish, I had many tanks at one point, as well as many bettas in other tanks, and it got horribly expensive to do properly, and a LOT of work. I hate to see you saddled with something that dififcult when you are just starting to get back on your feet. I say it out of concern not being mean.
