Acclimation Instructions
The procedure to acclimate fish after shipping is very different from the procedure after you bring home fish from a retail store.
DO NOT float the bag in the pond for an extended period of time(over 10 mins.)
DO NOT leave the fish in the bag water after opening the bag
-
Koi consumes oxygen in the bag and adds carbon dioxide to the bag-------> pH of bag water lowers because of the CO2 ------> the lower pH makes the ammonia in the bag essentially non-toxic to the fish. As soon as the bag is opened and the bag water interacts with the outside air some oxygen enters the water and some CO2 leaves the water, this raises the pH and makes the ammonia in the bag water now toxic to the fish.
The best way to acclimate the fish is to float the bag for 5mins and then open the bag and introduce the koi directly into the pond.
DO NOT add the bag water to the pond, as it contains elevated levels of ammonia.
DOA Policy
If DOA(Dead on Arrival): a photo must be taken of the fish still inside the bag and contact our customer service department must be made within 12 hours of receiving the shipment. Store credit will be given for the value of the lost fish.
As we cannot guarantee the quality of the water among other factors in a customer's pond, the customer becomes responsible for the fish after they receive a shipment of it.
Improper acclimation can cause undue stress on the fish. which can lead to disease, please read our guide on how to acclimate your new fish.
Under no circumstances can a fish be shipped back to us. This is to ensure bio-security at our facility.
