I am having issues with fish dying for the 1st time this "spring"
I have had 4 fish with the same issue they seem to have a white growth on them of some sort almost like skin is flaking off

I was wondering what you suggest

It is only larger older goldfish that seem to be dying i haven't seen it on any of the smaller fish The pond is 10x20 approx and 3.5 feet deep i have had it for 4 years

Any suggestions? Or should i wait for the weather to get warmer before i start attacking the issue


I attached 2 photos

i am in zone 6 in london ontario canada

honestly to me it looks very much like a bad case of 'koi pox' but koi pox isnt normally fatal. but the pics look to me like melted wax dripped or drizzeled over it,...that said it could have had koi pox and died from something else.
