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 |
