Poisson Poison?

Not long ago i witnessed the pond downstairs of my condo having its water changed. its water was all dirty and full of fish shit and greenish, so i thought its just a maintenance stunt. of course all of the koi fish in it had to be taken out. the pond was drained, filled with new clear water, and had a few baby fish in it.

but this went on for a few weeks, having just those few baby fish in it.

why is it taking so long for them to bring back those big koi fish?

a few days ago there appeared some new medium sized fish, but that was nothing compared to the usual amount and sizes of the fish.

then the truth was revealed unto me today, after the estate AGM.

All the hundred over koi fishes DIED!!

A shocking discovery i never knew. and i am really grieved at the massive loss of those fish.

i really liked them alot. they were like my pets to me. but unlike usual pet fish, they are not boring creatures that do not respond except to swim away when you go near. these large koi fish would even eat bread out of my hand, and i dont need to fear them biting me cause they have no teeth. they just suck at the food, and its quite ticklish.

they were also fun to play with. especially when hungry, they would swarm towards me, opening their mouths so beg for food. and when a piece of bread was thrown in the middle of the crowd of fish, a frenzy occurs as they all rush to get the morsel. continuously throw pieces into the same area and youll see all the fish saturated in one area, splashing around and jumping on top of each other. what a sight. the most fun part though, is putting pieces of food on the shallow rock, and watch the greedy kois climb onto the rock, even out of water, to attempt at getting the food.

The cause for the fishs' deaths have not been determined. it is noted that a new batch of fish were added into the pond with all the koi fish. shortly after, all the fish, old and new, died.

what could have been so serious that it causes all the fish to suddenly die? the most plausible theory is a potent disease carried by the new fish. but even so, why didnt those fish die before getting into the pond then, and why all at the same time?

anyways, i think it was kinda stupid to put those new fish in. the pond is already so crowded and had more than enough fish. put more for what. now see what happens, all gone.

hopefully the new young kois would grow up well and multiply and populate the pond once again. until then, i'll miss all my beloved koi fish.
