I did catch my 8 inch koi to take a look at her, and there were no
obvious lesions or visible parasites on her body. Here's hoping....


Its doubtful that you can see'm.

Treat w/ Dyacide, used for years and years and with a 'half-life' of
about 3 days its a ideal med.

I respectfully disagree. If the fish aren't doing anything more than
flashing when water quality is knowingly off, only water quality should be
addressed. Unless she has someone who can scrape and scope. Adding meds now
will only stress the koi more, and be wasteful if it isn't even needed or
the right ones. JMO, ~ jan
