Hi, all!
I have noticed in the last couple of days that some of my fish have small
white areas on their fins and some have some on their bodies. A couple were
flashing at times.
My ph is 7.2 ( It is usually 7.6 - 7.8 but we've had a heap of rain this
week)


Check your KH. This is more important than your pH, it is what keeps your
pH stable.

In another thread you said you found out it was pox not Ich, so we're
talking white spots bigger than salt crystals, right? Usually you won't
even see Ich on koi, like you do on goldfish. I believe that means koi do
get it, but not as visible? ~ jan
