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.
 

Koi require oxygen to live, and without an air pump or a ­waterfall running, they will quickly consume all available oxygen in the pond and die.

For offshore worker Rocky, who preferred that his surname not be used, more than $50,000 went down the drain, as he was not at home to turn on his back-up generator.

Rocky told the Express via telephone that he lost about 100 koi.
