Thanks Dave, very kind of you. Heading over to KWB later today 👍🏻

[@westbromkoi]

Sorry you've lost one mate, unfortunately the crap part of the hobby losing fish

[@chazkoi]

Yep, not nice at all! Hopefully I’ve fixed the issue now though 👍🏻

[@LeTwistedOne]

Gutted for you buddy 🧁👍👍👍

[@chazkoi]

Thanks matey 🙏

[@rouseco.2304]

Gutted for ya mate, i loss my Karashigoi to a heron, again a learning curve as I thought they couldn’t get into my pond and I watched the video and it was in in two seconds

[@chazkoi]

That’s heartbreaking mate.. I’m by the coast so I’ve also got seagulls to be wary of, as well as my cats! I’m double netted at the moment!

[@koidream54]

sorry to hear this mate

[@chazkoi]

Thanks, was a real shame to loose him

[@CBersPond]

Sorry to hear about your loss Chaz 😢
I put expanding foam around the top of my IBC. It gets in all of the cracks and spaces.
Hope you're well.
Are you going to the BKKS or any other shows this year?

[@chazkoi]

Expanding foam is a great shout actually! The BKKS is a bit far from me, but I’m hoping to make it to the All England Koi Show at Detling in September.. what about you mate ??

[@CBersPond]

@@chazkoi You in Kent? I'm in Maidstone. I'll be going to the BKKS both days, staying over on the Saturday. Will be at the All England Koi Show as well.

[@koikarma5363]

Gutted Chaz 👍👍🚀🚀

[@chazkoi]

On wards and upwards mate x

[@johnditton3527]

As you say, simple things. But it’s virtually impossible to cover all eventualities without having some incidents along the way.

[@chazkoi]

Thanks John, it’s certainly all a learning experience to me at the moment! Thanks again for all your support and guidance mate x
