Massive Roach found in a UK Koi pond 

Haha cool man gonna follow along so I can take better care of my koi this time round.. Only got 1 survivor from the 4 I brung in over winter.. 🙈

Red eye marks it down as a roach..plus rudd are usually a bit chunkier and have an upward pointing mouth.. It probably came in as fry 4 or 5 years ago and low disolved O² levels overnight has probably killled it.. Carp can manage with less..but youd be best advised to up your aeration and surface agitation..

There can get sun burn marks mate and it you set a shade poll / patch/ sheet /up there will follow the shade all day. 20 years I have had koi but never had time to watch them and nice rud I would say too

Looks like a golden Rudd to me having been a fisherman all my life😊

Strange one. We had a brown fish in a pond once n assume it came in as an egg from a bird at some point 👍🐟

Have you got any fry for sale mate ? Thanks in advance 👍🏼

I think people no you have a pond so they just drop out in I reckon lol
