Last week, my koi slowly became sick for reasons I still can't find. It was absolutely horrible and the only real chance they got was when we put them into quarantine tanks with non-iodized salt treatments. Unfortunately, two of my fish were smaller and were showing signs of illness before our biggest one did; so the salt treatments couldn't help them at the stage they were at and passed.
I spent a full day emptying the fish tank, then cleaning it thoroughly. I've had the 100 gallon tank fall onto my toes and onto my fingers when placing it back on its stand. But it's well worth it to know that my koi is now okay and frolicking back in his home.
So yeah, out of 3, only 1 survived... and this one is such a trooper. He's outlived all the other koi we have had and I think it's because he's such a big, hearty one. We've had him for many years now and I'm sad that our other koi couldn't survive.
I also saved a dog.
He was running around the neighbourhood with no owner, so I took him back to my house and waited for the owners after calling them. The poor thing was thirsty and shaking but extremely friendly. He reminded me of a miniature version of my German Shepherd.
