| Thanks for that link Bern. The article is very informative. It covers a lot of the procedures I wanted to bring out next. The link in the article to Koi Cymru is also good. Is the article available for reprinting in newsletters? With proper credit of course.
I added a viewing bowl/tub to the list after reading the BKKS article. A cooler was mentioned instead of cardboard boxes. How do others feel about this idea? Sounds okay to me for the appropriate size koi. Thoughts anyone?
I am also not a fan of transport tanks. Not opposed to them, just not a fan. Remember that water weights 8.33 lbs per gallon. So a 150 gallon transport tank will weight approximately 1250 lbs plus the weight of the tank. That means at least a 3/4 ton rated pickup for safety. The water the air pump becomes essential for this and a person would need a spare (to my way of thinking). Just not a fan.
So what else do we need to do to prepare our fish for the show. The actual transport to the show, not our koi keeping skills?
