Found my 17 inch black koi dead this morning.
That sucks, i have had him for about 4 or 5 years.
He was eating fine last night and there are no signs of anything wrong with him.

Ouch...that stinks....by chance, did he snack on anything else that might have settled in there...??

Not sure jon. I keep the pond pretty clean, but it is outdoors so hard telling

Wow, that is a real bummer. Hopefully you can find out what happened. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear this, I have a koi pond too. Sometimes a bird of prey like the herons we have here, can spear a fish to take it away, then it falls or swims off before the bird can snatch it. See if your fish has a beak spear hole in it? It would have most likely been a fatal spear. Sorry,
Barb
