Koi Handling Socks
Koi Handling Socks are an essential piece of equipment for any Koi keeper. It will be necessary at some point to move your Koi. Koi socks provide the means to be able to handle your Koi safely without risking damge to your fish. Koi socks are designed to carry a koi from the pond to a inspection bowl or tank without causing harm or stress to the fish. The watertight sock means the water remains in the sock and is very useful for quickly filling up or emptying an inspection bowl.
Simply grip the handle firmly with one hand, using the other hand, gather together the open end and clasp tightly, slide over the Koi and lift from the water. Place the gathered end of the sock into the new water and release allowing the Koi to gently slide out of the sock.
Always place the sock over the Koi head first and always make sure that the weight of the koi is toward the Head end (i.e. tail raised slightly) to avoid damage to the tail.
