What can I do if my fish is dying in the tank?

You will have to change the water in your aquarium tank regularly to prevent the death of your fish.

What to do if your Koi has KHV?

If it’s KHV, you can expect to lose the rest of the koi eventually. You may not be able to have the koi tested by an official lab but I do suggest contacting your local koi club.

How long does it take for Koi to perk up after correcting water?

This time, however, after you correct the water quality problem, all the fish or remaining fish survive. A few days after correcting the water they start to perk up some and act better.
