The surviving koi from wal-mart is progressing. It's activity level has risen considerabley, and it's started chasing the sinking food pellets that I feed it three-four times daily. It's beginning to respond to me, where before it had no intrest in me, food, or swimming, I know that I'm feeding it a lot. However, the fish is skinny and "malnourished," and the food I'm feeding it boosts the immune system and helps it fight off disease.. which it clearly has in the form of clamped fins.
I put my father's decor back in the guppy tank. They seem much happier now. I've also started feeding the fry 2-3 times a day (They're growing so fast!) with tropical fish flakes, crushed, and 1-2 pellets of that immune system booster I was telling you guys about earlier.
Kiminchi, the butterfly koi, seemed very upset to me. The fish kept staring across the room at the other aquarium with all of the goldfish.. I took her "playmate," Ooki (the biggest goldfish in the tank.. 8") and put him with her... She instantly cheered up and is now swimming around happily with her little friend..
