Well that does clear several things up for us.
#1 The tests were on individual Koi rather than nested.
#2 We know the credentials of Dr. Goodwin to be about as good as they get.

What remains unclear is your personal quarantine practice, and that is essential. You should NOT take this as an accusation against you as QT protocols demand exacting isolation of all new Koi if sourcing is to be determined with certainty.

Please describe your quarantine practice step by step, proximity to your other fish, and the use of all water and fish handling equipment (nets, filters, hoses, tubs, etc...) The potential for cross-contamination must be accurately documented before naming names.

The dealers defensive attitude and explanations/excuses give little comfort to say the least.
