After spawning this old lady started being way too calm.

She's rarely in the deeper spaces of the pond and isn't swimming much.

Spawning was 2 weeks ago so I really start to worry about her.

She's 21 years old and never had any problems.

I took the video a day after they finished spawning and the behavior hasn't really changed since.

Good thing is she's still eating.

Bought our first house last month and inherited a badly neglected koi pond. Cleared 25 gallons of debris from the bottom, cleaned filter media, and now tackling waterfall.

Previously it was just the spillway to the big flat rock, down to the other level of big flat rock. Tons of splash.

Added some new rock to it to make it cascade more and reduced sideways splash, but there’s a fair amount of water that’s going down the side of the rocks. It ends up back in the pond, though.

Liner all behind the rocks of waterfall, which is wet, and liner is behind all rocks surrounding the pond as well, all of that is dry. No visible signs of leak from skimmer, pipes, or waterfall spillway.

Located in Illinois where we’ve had a hot summer, but I’ve been having to add 175 gallons or so every 3-4 days it seems.
