sores on koi
3 days ago I noticed a sore on my large koi, today there is one on another koi.
Both koi are white females, one a butterfly. Both are about 20" and in great health. They are on the side of one and the top of another. the one with the sore on its back has a large shred of skin following. It looks exactly like they rubbed on some of the rocks. There is no preditor behavior and both are being social and eating like the pigs they are. My question is....why would they get scraped on the pond for the first time within 3 days of each other, and in a pond they have been in over 5 years? Do female koi go after each other for territories or males ....or any strange thing like that??? Would the channel catfish ( who is their size) gone after and scared them for some reason ??? Any ideas They have spawned in this pond for several years and never got scraped up. Jerri http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/JerrisPond |

sores on koi
No other signs of a parasite attack? It could make them flash.

3 days ago I noticed a sore on my large koi, today there is one on another koi. Both koi are white females, one a butterfly. Both are about 20" no, I thought about that also, and gave all the koi in the pond a really good look.....on the colored ones I probably couldn't tell, but on the other whites and yellows no other sores,,,,just those 2 fish Jerri http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/JerrisPond |

sores on koi
I agree with Ingrid, similar thing happened in my ponds too. Didn't find
parasites, in my case, but the fish are bigger and thus room between the pots and walls smaller. This is where Koizyme really helps. ~ jan On Tue, 23 Sep 2003 14:36:44 GMT, wrote: there is always something in the pond they can injure themselves on. if you cannot catch and treat, then salt and antibiotic food. sores on more than one fish means something is going on in the pond. treatment with PP can stop almost all parasites, knock the level down.
