| I have 12 shubunkins and 5 goldfish in my pond. I just introduced 2 koi. I have noticed that the fish are ganging up on the koi all over the pond. Is this normal at first? Any ideas? Thanks. |

| I wouldnt worry in a year the koi will outsize the goldfish and shubunkins.. just make sure the koi are getting fed, you may have to hand feed if they will do it.. |

| Fish are very curious and usually friendly creatures. There is a hyarchy among them also, I have noticed. There can be bullies that prevent smaller fish from eating, so you may have to watch for that, if introducing smaller fish. They'll soon grow and adjust. I wouldn't worry about it, as long as the other fish are not physical (pushing them or crowding against the walls of the pond - other than spawning). |
