Just came back from our burial. I think old age and the heart must have given up from the stress of lack of oxygen. I know koi can become very old but only under ideal conditions their entire life. With my messing around I've not exactly provided such an ideal koi lifestyle. :-(

The good news is that I found no other dead fish. They all came back to life and even ate although not as aggressively as normal. I'm glad I went over to the pond this morning rather then go somewhere else and find everyone dead tonight. Tomorrow I will call an electrician to give me two lines for my two pumps. Can't take this chance again.

I actually went over to the pond to reinstall my koi cafe which had falled into the water some time ago and needed to be fixed. Yesterday I got the controller/clock back. I now drilled through the post and put big washers on so that nothing will tear that feeder into the pond again. We live and learn every day.

PS I measured Big Mama. She was only 20 inches long but very fat and heavy.
