RECEIVING YOUR LIVE KOI SHIPMENT
1. Make sure you or someone competent to care for valuable fish is at your home or business on the day they are scheduled to arrive.
2. Your koi will arrive in a bag filled with 1/3 water and 2/3 pure oxygen. KEEP THE BAG CLOSED until time to release the fish.
3. Remove the bag of koi from the shipping box and float the sealed bag in your tank or pond for 20-30 minutes, until the temperatures can equalize.
4. You can promote rapid recovery from transport stress by adding fish-safe salt to your quarantine tank to achieve a salt concentration of 0.6% (5 lbs per hundred gallons). A soluble antibiotic may also be added to the water to promote healing of any injuries or lost scales incurred during transit.
5 Open the bag and with a soft net remove your koi to your holding tank. Do not empty the bag of water into your tank. The bag of water is full of concentrated fish waste and should be discarded.
6. Closely observe the new koi for at least 3 days prior to moving them to other tanks or ponds. Prevent ammonia or nitrite poisoning by using Ammo Lock, Amquel, or the equivalent. DO NOT FEED the koi for at least 2 days.
