Hello,
My koi that I have had for 13 years has some white fuzzy stuff growing
from the folds around the edge of one eye socket. I have read about
Formalin and Malachite Green and treated the entire pond every other
day for 10 days. The eye appears to be the same. All other koi and
goldfish in the pond seem fine. The affected koi has become more
"shy", not wanted to eat food unless it floats away into a more
private place. I think he feels fulnerable to the other fish, and/or
cannot see very well. Any suggestions on what to do please? Thank
you Very Much in advance.

Saproglenia Fungus causes a cottony growth over the eye, and is treated by
malachite green, copper safe, or forma green. Since she has treated the pond
with malachite green for 10 days with no good results, that may not be the
problem. Here is a chart of fish eye disorders:

The page contains links to various diagnostic charts. Enjoy.

I would think it would also be affecting the gills of the fish and the eye problem
would be least of its worries. Ingrid

this illness on fish before?

Neither have I. That is why I was quite surprised to find that it could affect
the gills.
