Expert Answer

A koi in sustained oxygen shortage is in danger after just a few hours. Early signs include floating to the surface; add oxygen at once to prevent death.

High stocking density and poor water easily cause low oxygen, so change water and aerate regularly. If density is high, keep oxygen on 24 hours.
