Thanks. He gets along fine with the Koi and the goldfish. In fact, I have
seven juvenile goldfish (about 2 - 2.5 inches in length) in the pond from this
season's breeding, and he hasn't bothered them at all. He was raised with the
Koi as a wee little one. He's not so far gone that he needs injectables, yet.
The problem I have right now is with my air pump. I need a new airstone, and a
new tee. The tee leaks, and the airstone is clogged. I tried soaking it in
vinegar with no good results. So I will be visiting the pet shop tomorrow
morning. Meanwhile, I have the tube submerged pumping air straight into the
water - not very effective because of the bubble size, but it's better than
nothing until I can remedy the situation. If he isn't any better by the time I
finish this treatment, I'll have to consider more drastic measures, like
injections. I think he will come out of it. He's still young (no more than two
or three years old).
