what old man I never mentioned an old man and I never said anything to him, and he looked like he had money he was warring jewelery on his hands. before you respond read the posting a few times so you can understand it, so you don't have to make up your own scenarios of what took place.

The man that you saw on the bench, with a loaf of bread, feeding the Koi. Maybe he wasn't old, but you did mention a man, all blinged out. Which was then assuming he had money. :nono:

Unsure if they are effected by copper treatments....
Salt is always a safer treatment with good husbandry being the best preventative medicine.

I love that idea from the Botanical Gardens. Wonder if I could get a couple of those dispensers for my yard. Ever since my wife started takin' the neighborhood kids on tours of our gardens and ponds they all seem to think that we are the local game preserve. Crayfish, salamanders, bull frogs, tree frogs, mud puppies minnows and the occasional box turtle have all been deposited by budding naturalists at various times.
I actually ran into one neighbor as he was walking up a hill on the back of our property carrying a box with something in it. I hardly knew the fellow except to nod when driving by but he said that one of his kids came over all of the time to feed the fish. (They all get a kick out of the koi eating out of their hands). Wonderful says I, so what's in the box?
"Oh, I found this when I was moving some landscaping rocks around and thought that he might be happier over here in your garden."
Now normally I don't mind the smaller mole and insect eaters so's I take a gander in the box. Well wouldn't cha know...knucklehead had a full growed copper head, who was shedding and in not particularly good humor. Thought he was gonna die (said like Rossane Rosanna Danna).
Moral of the story: No good deed goes unpunished.
Now I wonder just what else my blissfully ignorant neighbors have been contributing to our yard? Might explain some of the missing koi.
