Blood Streaks in Fins
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. All replies will be printed and sent to her. -- McKoi.... frugal ponding since 1995... My Pond Page http://tinyurl.com/cuq5b ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o |

"~Roy" wrote in message ... I would not hold my breath on Carol aka Reel NUTCASE Mckoi relaying thata info to her so called friends........ When i saw this post, I also immediately suspected it was a red herring. Highly suspect, her usual behavior is to appear to be an authority figure in this newsgroup, almost 100% response rate to pond questions. Additionally just yesterday she claimed that she would never trust people on the internet, because anyone can be an expert. The best part is that 30 seconds on google found the answer. Who would have thought "blood streak fin koi" would find the answer? -S |

Just to weigh in on this.....
Blood streaks in the fins, when everything else is normal is usually the first sign of stress. If Ammonia is zero, and pH isn't crashing, a water change is a good idea. I'd also consider that over crowding may be the stressor. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: www.jjspond.us ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
