| With due respect to all, if you have read my posting carefully, I am not saying that the BS/BH system causes hikkui.
Since a senior member has reported that his kois have developed hikkui and coincidentally he is using this system, it is my duty to report it to see if others are having the same problem. Like you have said, it was probably due to other factors but until such time that this has been figured out by this member, we just have to look out for it.
Breeders are unlikely to have problems with hikkui as their kois will only be in their concrete ponds for a few months while the rest of the time they will be in the mudponds.
Judging from the reports there are no doubts that BS/BH works. I am just interested in the longterm (bad) effects, if any, which only time will tell. It is not possible to do longterm experiments on hikkui for obvious reasons. The results and experience of those using this system therefore will be good indicators. Arowana will never develop hikkui.
Thanks. |
