The Daily Populous Tuesday August 18th, 2020 day edition
My uncle just found out this evening that all of his kois that he took care for 6 years all died due to a power outage that happened last night when everyone was sleeping.
Back when I was a pet sitter, I did a consult for a man with a koi pond. He walked me through their detailed care, and made a point to show me how to get the pump going again if it seized. He had thought of everything and made me a list.
The first day of his trip, I went to his house and found almost all the koi had been eaten by raccoons. They were mangled all over the lawn. That was an awkward phone call.

Oh man. That truly sucks. Excuse the ignorance, how does a power outage do that?

Why would they die so quickly?
