it sounds like they got a rare form of bubbllelitis, try to slow down the bubbles and see if you can get them back under control.

I was wondering if Koi would like to play. I thought about getting some of those tubes like gerbils use only bigger but transparent and maybe set up an obstacle course. They look so bored during the day sometimes. I even thought of maybe golf ball size floating balls for them to push around. Is that crazy? I might need to try the bubbles, sounds like they like it.

:grumble: Mine to were just hangin out not to active most times. Thought that I need more air on hot summer days so we added the air pump.:claphands:They all started to swim more and play in the bubbles. They eat better and are active much more. Playing and splashing around. Very cool.:FIREdevil::profile:

:banana:UP DATE: The new air pump has arrived. Dh has built it a shelter to keep of the rain and sun. Very nice job to I might add. Cant believe the difference in the two pumps. The look exactly alike, but that is it. The new one is much quieter and never shuts off. HURA. Koi love it as well they still love there bubbles. Thanks Amazon.com for working with reliable companies. Problem fixed at last.:eek:
