First Experience of Catching Fish: Found a Koi with a Tumor

In order to add vitality to the pond, I embarked on a journey of catching fish. I thought catching fish would be an easy task, but the process was full of challenges. In the process of searching for suitable fish, I accidentally found a koi with a tumor. The koi swam in the water differently from other fish. After careful observation, I found that it had an obvious tumor on its body. Watching it swim with difficulty, I felt pity in my heart. At that moment, I decided to build an isolation pool for it. This would ensure it could live in a safe and comfortable environment, prioritizing its well-being.

I chose a suitable location and started to build the isolation pool. During the construction process, I fully considered the special needs of koi. The size of the isolation pool should be moderate. It should provide enough space for the koi to swim comfortably, but not be so large that it becomes difficult to manage. I also placed some soft water plants and hidden small caves in the pool to provide a place for the koi to live and hide. At the same time, the Poposoap filter pump, which had been tested earlier, was installed in the isolation pool. This ensures that the water quality remains clean at all times. In order to test the effect of the isolation pool, I planned to put some sensitive fish in for observation. If sensitive fish can live healthily in this environment, then koi with tumors can also live in peace.

A cool breeze brushes your face as you speed forward. It’s sure to be an incredibly exciting experience. This will not only bring joy to myself but also become a major fun point for family and friends to gather. I can already imagine the scene of everyone laughing and screaming on the zip line.
