They have in fact been dying for weeks. Just recently did they find out it was KHV or Koi Herpes Virus. Problem was they had to find a live specimen to test and they couldn't LOL. Good thing is its only affecting Koi, Carp and, goldfish. No worries about the other fish.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is simply Natures way of controlling the size of a population. A Density Dependent Limiting Factor as it is called. Nothing to worry about. The Carp populations in that area of the river are overly huge anyway. This kind of thing is needed from time to time.

they need to introduce that virus into lake hemet to get rid of the infestation there!

Can the same be true for nature vs humans??
