Ingrid,

I am so pass messing around with the fish. Please don't misunderstand me, I
just feel that the cure is sometimes worse than the disease.

I know what the problem is because it happened last year also.

Being in California we get a sudden heat wave in spring or late winter, bugs
get active, algae blooms, parasites have left wounds, and bacteria infects
wound. Those that are sick are too late to be helped, and those that are
well can be spared of disease by combating bad bacteria with good bacteria.

My next battle? Spawning, and the inevitable ammonia spike! Which begs the
question, can Koi be spayed?

All my water parameters are perfect! Other fish are happy, and I am happy
too.

but why are they dying? I think you need to find out what the problem is
instead of
throwing stuff into the pond. you do have good oxygenation, right? the
bottom of
the pond is clear? did you examine any of them? it sounds more like
toxic water of
some kind than a bacterial infection, altho a necropsy of one of the dead
fish would
be valuable. Ingrid

Hi all,

Time to wake up the good bugs with limozyme/koizyme!

I've already lost 8 Koi this season! We had a sudden warm spell (90
degrees), and one by one they croaked!
