Thank you, but why would I need an electrician? we have absolutley NO electrical in our pond, only electirc we have is our Artesians, Medo;s, Viper, and those are all external, We are pretty sure she suffered some kind of internal failure, such as a heart attack.

Thank you Mike, yes at was so sad to watch it on our camer's, but at least we know, that it was nothing that we did, or could have prevented.

So sorry for your loss, but it may be a solace as time goes on that you are still able to feel so deeply the loss of your fish. For someone so long in the hobby, it is nice to know that you have been able to keep your "humanity." There are a lot of people who would just say, "Oh, s**t," and move on, saying to themselves that it's "just a fish."

Terrible news Nancy and Frank Nothing you could do

[Nancy M.]

Thank you to all our koi friends, this truelly has been one of the hardest times, it is easier to deal with losing a fish, from parisites, disease.. than to loss one like this...Here is a picture of her when we were trying to revive her, to no avail. Still beautiful, even after life had left her.

It put a lump in my throat reading this. I guess we will all have to someday face losing some of our favorite girls. Life's lesson is loss, so cherish all the joy that comes your way. We're sad with you tonight.

Really sorry to hear about your loss, Nancy and Frank.

What a beautiful fish! Definitely sounds like a heart problem or a stroke--she was probably gone before she hit the wall. How terrible for you.

I am glad you got to see her win, at least once.

Nancy, you need to know that every one of us that love our fish know you feel pain. Please give yourself some time to grieve and take care of yourself. You obviously give the best of care to your kids. You just need to take solice in the fact that you give a good healthy home to these beautiful jewels. We can only do so much. My best wishes to you.
