Yes sissy I saw that and am staying away from that one! I finally ended up putting the ones I got out in the garden on land by the pond.

Haven't been around my grandma passed away on the 14th so I havent done anything with the pond but today I picked up three 5" koi fish and now I don't know what to do with them? Do I leave them in the bag and set them in the pond? Or what? I need some help ASAP.

sorry to hear about your grandma and was wondering where you were .Float the bag in the pond until they are the same temp .I usually keep fish seperate for a week or two .But after about 15 minutes or so release them slowly The water in the bag and the pond should be the same temps .

They should be fine but very shy at first .You may not see them for a day or two .They can be lured out with food sometimes

So I don't have any other fish except these new koi so I should be fine with floating the bag in the water for 15 minutes?

yep they should be fine open bag so they can get air and slowly let some pond water in the bag after 15 minutes .You are supposed to wait longer but I'm sure it is hot there also

I know your water is all ready to go and they will probably take off as soon as you let them out .
