    Help with Koi-like fish in water feature

    Hi,
    I recently bought a water feature (those fibre glass pond thingies). My relatives, out of goodwill (and ignorance), got me some free koi-like fish from a fish farm. The problem with these fish is that they are extremely shy and constantly hide in corner. even when i feed them by dropping food into the pond, they do not come out to feed. This has been going on for almost a week. No dead fish from starvation yet, although i have lost 2 from jumping out of the pond. After a few days, i introduced some guppies into the pond. This seems to have made the koi more settled and they are coming out of their corners more often, but whenever i go near them, they will hide into their corners again.
    I am kinda afraid that the koi will eventually die of hunger. Does anyone have similar experience and can offer some help?

    Thanks
    Cheers
    Boon Yong

    fish are like that
    eventually when they get used to you they will come out
    if you're worried they don't eat, don't be
    when they're hungry, they'll come out

    and btw, pls post in the relevant sections
    moved to fishkeeping
