    only for scraping and it never came out only into a basket.

    ok i have found the problem my PH was fine and stable but i did get a slight increase in Nitrite at 0.15 which is now falling after a few water changes and stopped feeding.
    Also after the eighth scrape i found trich on one fish and chilodonella on another both had low numbers.
    So yesterday following Duncans advise i did my first treatment of FMG.
    The koi in the picture above had improved before i put the FMG in.

    Yea its amazing how long it took me to find something. The funny thing was that all the koi that were flashing and I scraped showed up nothing so I thought I would try scraping two that weren't flashing and they Where the ones I found them on.
    Most of the koi have really slowed up and sitting on the bottom, they are not liking this fmg treatment. A couple are swimming around like nothing is going on.

    Hi Jedi .
    i would imagine they are not very happy but if it gets rid of the nasties then its worth it.
    I know when i treat for flukes when the flubenol goes in and starts to work the fish go a bit crazy i would imagine its the chemical is killing the flukes and the flukes start moving about alot more before dying .
    maybe i should scrape more next time if i find nothing on 4 and suspect something is wrong.
