Sounds like a pretty desperate koi.

I don' think the mouth to mouth portion woulda helped a gilled animal too much hehe!!!

I don't think I'd go that far anyway. Maybe a little heart massage and wave a pungent algae wafer under the fish nose instead.

Leo Vanaert was nervous about posing for this picture without his prized koi, which is recovering and is in stable condition.

HEHE. I would do it for the expensive fish.

 

[notmuffy]

24" Koi are very expensive! Around here they are the equivelant of about $500!!

So pucker up, FishFreek! LOLOL

I think id rather just not spend 500 bucks on a fish!

 

[notmuffy]

well, maybe he grew him from a pup.

Ok. I'm confused. How the hell does one resuscitate a fish by blowing air into their mouths?? Especially koi, who do not take O2 from the air at all so far as I know. If they could take in O2 by air, they'd have wandered out of the water a while ago. Anyone I've known who actually revived a fish did so by moving them IN water to get the water to flow over their gills...

Sorry, I kinda think this one is a crock. The fish probably was stunned, and the stress of being manhandled was prob enough to shock it back to consciousness. I really doubt mouth to mouth was what saved this fish.

Just MHO

The whole story does seem a bit fishy, doesn't it?
