Can I move Koi carp in winter without killing them?

koi carp
Suzie asked:


I need to move house soon and am devoted to my Koi carp in the pond (not to mention they are worth a bit!). I am aware they are hiding out at the bottom of my pond during these winter months the last thing I want to do is kill them with shock, but does anyone know any safe way to move them so I don’t have to lose them? I have a new home for them (until I can get organised in the spring/summer) and the temporary host would transport them for me, but I don’t want to kill them with shock as they are my babies! Can anyone advise me?

  • Id get a large plastic container and fill with water from the pond and a plant or two that you have in there. They should be ok just make sure the pond you are transferring them too is the same degrees.

    Good luck.
