Gills

Recently I have noticed that several of my Koi have been up at the
surface of the pond and the waterfall. A few have died with no
visible external problems. When they died, I looked at their gills and
noticed that there were areas of gray and looked necrotic.

Is this normal post-mortem, symptoms? Is this a gill disease problem?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


--
could be amonia burns if its the edges of the gills if its deeper
could be bacterial gill disease
is there any slime looking substance on the gills?

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Gills
 

bacterial gill rot or BRANCHIOMYCOSIS
SYMPTOMS: mottled gills, bluish or grayish irregular streaks
hot temps and bluish color are the tip-offs
