KILLERKOI said:A older friend from up the street just lost $10,000 worth of koi and $600 filter setup and has to start all over again with his pond. all because of his landscapers who acidently spilled a whole 15g container of gas they unloaded from their truck right next to the pond a didnt notice that they forgot to srew on the gas cap on the container properly and left it on its side so when he got home from work they were all in a hurry to go home he went to hand them the weekly check when the boss was pulling up the driveway to discuss how they were going to setal the problem but he didnt even know yet what the guy was talking about when he finaly went and see them all was floating except one that died that same night the filters were all melted on the inside he told me that he almost fainted and just yelled get out!!! i feel so bad for the guy i offerd to help rebuild as long as it take and i would donate 4-5 koi after but the poor old guy was so disgusted he just said "no its over for me im done with ponds im just gonna fill it in with dirt" and hes goin to file a complaint with the police and thats it. the pond was 26yrs old and he still had alot of the orginal koi in it from when he first started the pond
15 gal of gasoline - my gosh thats a freaking lot. They are lucky they didnt set stuff on fire. Heck I think my car only holds like 15-16 gallons of gas. Its always a sad day when you hear a story like this. Hope your friend decides to rebuild.
wow... my jeep only holds 10 gallons.. that is alot of gas.. id sue the **** out of them for sure
funny how u assumed that they were latino immigrants just because they were gardeners...please use better judgement next time you comment
