CBS Miami May 6, 2021 Wildlife and environmental officials are investigating exactly just what killed thousands of koi and other exotic fish in several residential ponds in a South Florida neighborhood last month. An inspector first responded April 23 to the Coconut Grove area of Miami after fish kills were reported earlier that week to the Miami-Dade County Division of Environmental Resources Management, spokeswoman Tere Florin said. Staff collected well water samples Wednesday at Simpson Park near downtown Miami, as well as a pond that had experienced a fish kill, officials said.
