The behaviour of my fish is unchanged. they are still active and feeding
well. One thing I forgot to mention previously was that several ogf the
tails are also frayed/ulcered.

In addition to Jan's request for info, you might also describe any
behaviors
you have seen with the fish, that might indicate parasites, and if the vet
did a scrape and mentioned any parasites. Ulcers show up on fish that
have
parasites, or are otherwise stressed. The water quality is one potential
stressor.

my pond is in Scotland UK and I have recently suffered problems with
ulcers.
lost 6 fish to date. I have tried the remedies available in pet shops
to
no
avail. I have taken my large Koi to the vet to be injected with
antibiotics
but catching the smaller fish is almost impossible. Probably have 6
fish
still infected, varying from goldfish, shubunkins and comets. My pond
is
well established 10+ years and this is the first fish that I have lost
for 5
years. Water quality is good. Best regards John
PS this is my first post ever on a newsgroup.
Hi John, and welcome to rec.ponds.
So what did the vet say was wrong with your fish?
Water quality is good, is not much to go on, could we have the numbers
for
Ammonia, Nitrite, pH & KH, pond water temperature? Maybe we'll see
something you don't. ~ jan
