Hi
I read this newsgroup often and really enjoy it. I also gained so much just from reading it. I have posted before but was a while ago now. The reason for my post is that I have a goldfish which has developed sores and wondered if some could take a look for me? I have posted them here http://community.webshots.com/user/todpin33 under Choco (its name) This fish was in my pond last year and was overwintered in side as were all my fish. The rest of the fish are ponding right now. He developed these this past week, water tests perfect any ideas? Also i posted some pictures of my pond from last year |

I don't have a clue what is wrong with your fish.... which is
not unusual for me. Some folks do have that knowledge and will no doubt answer. Have you visited www.koivet.com yet? That is Doc Johnson's site and lots of folk have been helped by it. BTW, pretty pond you have there! Good Luck. Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "Todd P" wrote in message .. .

did these fish ever have little strings hanging from them? the chunks missing is
typical of anchor worm. check the fish in the pond for anchor worm too. Use anchors away. it is dimilin and one treatment is residual for almost a month. it is not harmful to the fish. treat the wound on that fish topically starting with cleaning the wound out with peroxide and then rub in neosporin creme. run the temp up to 84oF with GOOD AERATION to treat the aeromonas bacteria. add 1 teas salt per 5 gallons. continue to treat wound topically ... do not put in melafix. feel wound to make sure healing from inside out and is hard, no mushy underneath.

No strings of any hanging from this fish or any for that matter. There was a
white like backing under the swelled scales at one point. I checked the fish in the pond and no markings of any kind. I still have some inside as well and they are fine. Can anchor worm spread to other fish? The fish has been Isolated since I noticed this . How do I clean the wound? Q-tip? Does anchor stay dormant? because they have been inside since fall and this has recently happened.

Can you explain the part on not using melafix? I have been buying that
stuff by the gallons! -- _______________________________________ "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: The chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'." http://community.webshots.com/user/godwino wrote in message ... did these fish ever have little strings hanging from them? the chunks missing is typical of anchor worm. check the fish in the pond for anchor worm too.

How do I clean the wound? Q-tip? Yes, Q-tip and remove all scales that are loose. The unhealthly scales will lift off as you move the Q-tip under them, don't be surprise that the wound is bigger than what you see right now. I'd also suggest using Lymnozyme. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

there is a layer of epithelial cells over the scales of fish. this secretes the slime
coat. People who have used it find the wound is healed over the top but the infection is still underneath. perhaps it causes the epithelial cells to seal over and the infection gets sealed inside. salt is a lot cheaper and better for fish than "meds".

yes,
http://users.megapathdsl.net/~solo/p...nt.htm#topical treatment anchor worm can spread. it lays eggs. just keep a sharp eye on the fish in the pond. and feed antibiotic food. once the skin is broken bacteria can get into the wound. in fact, they say all wounds are infected with bacteria. It is odd that they have been inside. did you introduce any new fish? Ingrid "Todd P" wrote: No strings of any hanging from this fish or any for that matter.

No new fish were introduced, they were all the same fish I took out of the
pond last fall. wrote in message ... yes, http://users.megapathdsl.net/~solo/p...trtmnt.htm#top ical treatment anchor worm can spread. it lays eggs. just keep a sharp eye on the fish in the pond. and feed antibiotic food. once the skin is broken bacteria can get into the wound. in fact, they say all wounds are infected with bacteria.
