===I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have a computer. They're
having a
===problem they can't seem to solve. There is blood streaks in the
fins of
===their six 3 year old koi (they don't keep goldfish). The pond is
1000
===gallons and has many plants, no UV light and filter rated for 1000
gallon
===pond plus a new pump (they don't know how many GPH it pumps). There
is very
===little mulm on the pond bottom. The water is clear. No clays or
cat-litter
===is used. I did a scrape on several of the koi and no parasites were
seen,
===we scraped a few days later - still negative. They aren't flashing
and all
===are acting normal and eating well. They had a normal slime coat and
she
===uses KoiZyme once, in the spring. The pond is in the sun most of
the day.
===The liner is tuned up so no runoff can get into the water. No
sprays are
===used around the pond.
===
===We tested the water:
===
===Ammonia - 0
===Nitrites - 0
===Nitrates - 10 ppm
===Total hardness - 300
===Total Alkalinity - 300
===Ph - 8.4
===
===Food used: Ichiban by Misty Mountain and Tetra Sticks once a week
as a
===treat.
