Koi are beautiful, majestic creatures that can add a splash of color to any garden. Koi are also known for their hardiness, but they can get stressed, much like any other type of pet.
But what does it mean when your koi is stressed? How can you tell if it's time to take action?
Here are some signs that your koi may be stressed:
● Your koi is hiding in its pond more than usual or refuses to come out at all
● Your koi's behavior has changed—it's not eating as much, or has started eating less than normal
● Your koi has stopped growing new scales, which means its immune system isn't working properly
● Your koi have stopped spawning or is producing fewer eggs than usual
● Your koi have stopped swimming in any direction and seems to be floating at the surface of its pond
● Your koi has become lethargic or seems to be moving more slowly than normal
● Your koi is displaying red gill covers
● You koi has cloudy eyes
If you notice one or more of the above signs, it's time to take little Flipper to the vet.
