Update on the Koi

I agree, Pomtzu.

The solution seems so obvious to me. Rehome the fish. They'll be better off and you're life will be much simpler.

You are way over your head and from everything that was posted here ANYBODY can clearly see that the fish need a better environment. It is not ideal, especially in your situation where you were having a hard time keeping food in the fridge not too long ago, to break the bank to buy a larger gallon tank. Rehome them where they can live a long healthy life elsewhere, and fill your tank with fish that will thrive in the tank you already have...if you must have fish.

what about getting a kiddie pool... just a thought... it might work better than 3 tanks...

Husky mom Koi are not really tank fish, they are pond fish. A kiddie pool would be useless with all the stuff needed to keep the water clean. Those fish can poop more than you can imagine in one day. Everything you need to keep the pond clean is expensive as well. Not to mention everything else neede to keep the water at right temp and oxygen levels just so. Rehoming as everyone suggested is the best thing for the fish in the long run. And can you imagine the room you need to keep a kiddie pool indoors. And if it springs a leak what happens? Too many ifs to be safe. Why take a chance on finding the fish dead? Koi are jumpers, they can jump right out of a tank, let alone a kiddie pool.

Well everyone should be happy I was able to rehome 2 of the fish so far.

Well, that's two less fish worth on tank pollution anyway. I know they are beautiful, but they aren't for everyone!

{{{hugs}}} Nicole, it's less stress on you in the long run, especially financially. Your landlady wasn't entirely fair or honest, IMHO.

I hope your new home is still everything you wanted for rooms and all.
