I am new to the forum. I have recently joined forums for old cars and DIY things and found them immensely helpful, so I thought I would try this one. I am by no means an expert on ponds, Koi or goldfish, but I have been fortunate to have a pond at 2 different houses for the last 25 years with very few problems. I try to keep the pond clean and have in the past added salt when I saw some problems and that is about it. My current pond is about 1200 gallons.
I do now have a situation where one of my koi had a skin laceration and what looks like areas of irritation. I have previously changed out about half the water and added salt. I have attached a picture to show the problem. It isn't a great picture but I am having a problem keeping it still for a photo. It is small open wound with irritation in the surrounding area.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Art
