I don't have any idea whats wrong?

[blackmaler]

I don't have the slightest idea on whats wrong with my koi?
my shiro just started turning upside down and after a few hrs my perf. tancho sanke(my entry for this coming September koi show jr. division) is doing the same.

ive QT them and add some rock salt in the water but still its too late for me to save the shiro utsuri but the poor little guy (tancho sanke) still fighting for his life
and i can't do a F**** thing which is driving me crazy right now
oh forgot to mention me showa is kinda acting little odd too

Have you tested your water?

 

[JohnHuff]

I agree, the first thing to do is to check your H2O.

 

[dieselplower]

What are you normally keeping them in?

 

[blackmaler]

can't find any water testing kit on my place
some friends said possible cause would be bacteria

gonna grab some of that online if i got extra budget

Grab a test kit. Don't start treating if you have no clue what your treating for. that can make matters even worse. I recommend saving up and buying a full range pond test kit. Aquarium Pharmaceuticals makes a great kit for about $30. I would also get at least a KH kit too. It doesn't come with the master kit. next get a good health book for koi, and a microscope. one that can magnify up to 400x. That's plenty for most things to look for. Knowing what your treating and how to figure out what is wrong is one of the most necessary things needing for truly identify and solving these types of issues.

Have you got a microscope if so do a scrape and see if your koi has gill or body flukes I remember one of ours doing this whilst in QT and when we scraped it was flukes ?
