why does my koi fish hide?
littlemiss_daisyrock asked:
I have a variety of koi in my pond, plus sturgeons,rudds, grass carp and orfes. One of my small koi (3inch) keeps hiding behind the plant. The first time i saw it I thought it had got trapped so i went in with the net to rescue it. The fish swam back to the rest and i thought nothing of it. But for a good few months now nearly every time i’ve gone to look its been there behind the plant. It does swim around now and again. But it always goes back; while the rest stay in two groups.

He’s smaller and easier to harass so he’s always hiding. Maybe the pond is too small.

maybe it’s unhappy with all the other fish….fish only hide when unhappy, scared or picked on.

Is your Pond under direct sunlight ?
If it is, the fish is trying to avoid the sunlight due to the heat…
Try building a shelter for it ?

As you have said its one of your small koi it is probley scaired of the other larger fish.
Give it plenty of hadeing places and keep an eye on it to make sure no one is bullying it.
