if this is on the caudal puduncle. you need to salt dip this fish, then
treat with
potassium permanganate.

Thanks, yes it is in the caudal peduncle area (course I had to look that
up first http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/what/fishfig.htm). 4-5 small
white patches on one side, almost scale size.

=============================
Check a few websites such as www.koivet.com and others before using PP as
this is a product you need to take great care using. My smaller pools will
drop as much as 15F overnight (in spring and fall) without causing a problem
to my koi, rosy reds and goldfish. The only losses I've ever had to such a
drop were tiny fry less than a week old. We had a spring freeze and they
were in a 40 gallon tub. :-(

My fish are healthy and the water quality is good. That may make the
difference. Also, we have no control over nature and natural ponds have the
same temp drops.
