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

Dyacide is routinely used to treat parasites prophylactically because
of its half life. It is far less stressful than PP or Formalyn
(starving the water of O2) and that (and no deaths yet) was my
reasoning.

I further went on to suggest seeding the biological filter to address
the underlying problem... poor water quality.

You omitted that part of my post in your reply.
