Before today the house I live in now with my family had a koi pond with three medium sized koi I lovingly named Sans, Undyne and Papyrus, along with two gold fish and close to two dozen baby koi. The house was rented to us for two ½ years until the owner plans on moving in during retirement. Tonight around 8pm or so my dad decided to add a little bit of fresh water to the pond since it was running a little low due to the recent heat, but forgot that the hose was on for over 6 hours. Small amounts of chlorinated water wont hurt koi, but too much of it can drastically change the waters PH level, sending the fishes body’s into shock, which is what happened tonight. By the time he finally remembered, the pond was overflowing and all three of the koi I had grown to love so much were floating at the surface dead, along with several of the babies. The two gold fish seem to be alive, but don’t look good. Since they are technically not our fish, we have to replace them. In all it will cost around $600. (Koi are really expensive fish)
I know I shouldn’t be so broken up about this, they are just fish. But I really came to love each one very much and if this indecent didn’t happen, they could have lived to well over 100 years old.
..I don’t blame my father, hes already pretty broken up about it and is beating himself up about it as it is. ….I just wish I had known sooner….. bless their sweet little hearts, they didn’t deserve this….
I hate to ask anything of you guys, but if anyone is willing, any support would help. I have a Ko-Fi account, the link is in @undertale4everyone. I’m also up for doing small sketch commissions $10 each like first one above , $7 without color. Message me in my inbox if your interested.
Sorry for the long post…..
