looks like someone arrhhhhhhhhhh m ke board is gone wack .... some of m le ers are no working....... major helppppppppp ichToyBox" wrote in message news:hrnQa.49341$GL4.12657@rwcrnsc53... muffin, The white spots look like scarred areas that are healing. A couple of my fish skinned themselves pretty good during spawning and have a similar appearance. If it is getting worse, then it could be columnaris, and the PP is a good choice for treatment. The red area on koi #3 looks to be a bruise or abrasion, not really an ulcer. It isn't nearly inflamed enough to worry about yet. The PP and salt will minimize the chances of infection. The film on the water is probably proteins. It is almost like an oil slick and adds a strange shine to the surface, limiting the visibility into the water. The PP will help to digest the proteins and you should see a lot of brown foam at the waterfall if that is the case. It can be removed by overflowing the pond, which makes one form of skimmer action, but spray the water toward the overflow area to speed the skimming action. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "*muffin*" wrote in message ... ok,, it finally hit. I have sick koi. (seems to be about 5 koi,, goldfish don't seem to be affected) there is no way I can catch them,,, & the pics I have on my site are the best I can get(so far) . looks like whitespot stuff on a few koi & one koi looks like an ulcer #3 pic (??). the whitespot stuff, is just kind of a dull patch on the koi, like murkywhite( not sure if I am describing it right), doesn't look 'fuzzy'. ok, pics are on http://community.webshots.com/album/74707665onrGAN koi #1,2,3 what is BEST way to treat pond,, (3600 gal. have melafix & Potassium permanganate) & also, question about pond.. it has a *film* on the top of it , any ideas?? I do not have a skimmer ( don't want one, because of floating plants),, I do have a water falls running though, & 'big' filter.
