Thanks Lee, this is exactly what I have done, the Lmnozyme thingy! What a
horrible smelling thing!

Thanks again all.

You're having the same problems I had last Spring: first a fluke
infestation, then secondary losses to ulcers, not to mention bad advice
from
"experts" that should have known better (none from this site, local
folks!).
The best thing I can recommend to you at this point is to get some
Lymnozyme - I don't sell it, this isn't an ad: the stuff competes for the
same nutrients that the aeromonas/pseudomonas bacteria (your ULCER
bacteria)
use, only they do it better and starve out the "bad" bacteria. Use the
stuff
like it says to do for initial treatments: it's safe, you can even double
dose if you want to. Use it regularly and you'll never have ulcer disease
again. The bottle MUST be kept refrigerated at all times: if you buy a
warm
bottle, it's no good.

It's a shame you had to euthanize your fish: this stuff will help to heal
them, if it's not too far gone. It's what got my fish over all their
problems last Spring. Let me know if you need more info, and good luck.

All the water quality parameters are perfect, except for a bit of algae
bloom.

Air temperature was 94, down to 80s today. Water temp was over 70s.

The vet and my local Koi guru said it was the end result of my fluke
infestation. That after I have effectively eradicated the flukes, the
bad
bugs in the water got under the fish's skin, and turned to ulcer.

I was bummed out Friday night, but the events of Saturday morning with
the
space shuttle has put everything in perspective for me.

Thanks.

91 degrees outside today,
The thing had ulcer on it's tails, fins,
etc. Had to put it to sleep. What a bummer!

I also have perhaps the most beautiful Sanke alive, about 18-20
inches
long
with some fin problems, it kind of favors one of it's fins. I have
to
catch
it tomorrow and see what the problem is. This unreal California
summer
in
winter weather and the stress of Koi-ing really really bites!

I'll let you know how the other Koi are doing after close examination
tomorrow.
