Thank you so much! What would be the best dosing amount, frequency, and duration for a 4600 gallon bog filtered pond with koi, goldfish, guppies, and plants? Would you recommend baking soda over pimafix? We’ve had the pond for several years and this is the first indication of any illnessick is tiny white dots to start. cottonish looking is generally bacterial. And during winter months is the ultimate conditions for it to surfce.
The fishes immune system is not at its optimum and if conditions are not perfect some fish who have a lower immunity to infections can get issues while others look fine.
it's usually and test level that is off . like ph or kh. baking soda can do wonders for our ponds this time of year
Yeah that is in the posts above. That's why the dose was last they need to see if that's the problem at all it looks like it maybe just scrapping.Before you add anything, you need to test the water. You may not need baking soda if you have adequate KH. So please get some liquid testing kits for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH and KH. Post the results here and we can get a better idea of what the problem might be.

So…. Also a first…. What should I do? How should I treat?
One or both Eyes are popped out. | This is called pop eye, and is caused by a Kidney Infection. Treat the Koi with Erythromycin for 10 days. This could also be the start of Abdominal Dropsy if both of the eyes are popped out. |
Thank you so much! only one seems to be affected. Do I just treat the whole pond or isolate for treatment? I can research but thank you!sorry i'm not up on what to do for that but you can alwas google it and if you get several responses that are the same then your probably good
