my 3 koi, are they ok?

[objec]

these are my 3 and only fish i have in the new pond. got them from petsmart, i noticed this white waxy stuff on their bodies yesterday.

pond is almost 2 weeks old, fish have been in for maybe a week now. water temp is 45 to 50 ish.

i think is maybe koi pox, being that they are from the pet store an then put into a early spring pond.

water test strips (6in1) all ok

they are active at night, hide in day.

have not feed yet.

what do you guys think???

They have Ich. Get some Ich medication and treat them immediatley. if you don't have a store near you with it you can use salt as an interim method.

youre going to need alot of ich meds...your pond looks really big

I would take them out and treat them in a hospital tank. Treat the pond with a massive dose of salt. It is cheap. You can always dilute the pond concentration before adding the fish back.
