re BGD/VGD
for those of you that have been following my problem with this Bacterial
/ viral Gill disease ( it first hit in 2000 still not sure what actually causes it, originally it was called Israeli disease ) there is no known cure but certain meds help if used in time anyhow it runs about a month and thats where I am so far I have lost 35 of my fish the ones that are left still have no apetite some days they eat a little some days they ignore feed altogether they seem to be subsiting on the string algae however probably as it is easyer to digest. the most recent demises are not showing active disease but do have considerable gill dammage (necrosis of the gill tissues) from the reading I have done I feel I am extremly lucky to have any fish left at all and to all that have supported me through this THANK YOU I realy appreciate it -- John Rutz Z5 New Mexico good judgement comes from bad experience, and that comes from bad judgement see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |

Just awful thanks Nedra yes it started with the introduction of nw fish, it doesnt matter where the fish come from or if they have been thru quarantine (my new ones had been thru three quarantines) its latent and for some unknown reason the new ones start the cycle John Rutz Z5 New Mexico good judgement comes from bad experience, and that comes from bad judgement see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |

re BGD/VGD
This latest "gill rot" appears to be heat activated. Jan's method of having a canary
koi in with new ones and making sure the temp gets up to activation stage will catch it. Unfortunately, it appears that once fish have had the disease they become carriers and when the activation temp is hit they start shedding again. I hope this isnt the one you have. They are saying it is a Herpes type virus.
