Koi fish hobbyists were left heartbroken and counting their losses yesterday, after hundreds of their exotic, expensive fish died during Wednesday’s 12-hour power outage.

Many koi lovers had no back-up generators to keep the tank and pond air pumps going or no battery-operated pumps, so had no choice but to watch their gems suffocate to death. Others with a battery-operated pump said it could not last the full 12 hours of the outage.
