Thread: Good evening

Hi all hope you’re doing well so last weekend was my first koi show, lots of stunning koi on show and to buy I had to give in in the end and brought home a couple of shiro from omasato
Hopefully they will develop into something nice and even be good enough to put in the show next year fingers crossed.
Unfortunately one has developed an ulcer on the base of its tail which I will be treating tomorrow after I’ve watched a few more videos on what to do .
It’s a shame we don’t have a show for the north west I’m sure there’s enough hobbyist up here in the north west to put on a show I’ve just joined the bkks as the members I met on Sunday were great and put a lot of hard work in to making the show a success.

Will be doing that today got them in a separate pond so I can treat them going to be a stressful day me thinks

Make sure you have everything to hand,no good wandering off to get something and leaving the koi.
Run your finger over the scales next to the ulcer any rough ones are dead and need removing with tweezers,if not removed them as they will
reinfect.

Good luck Alex.

Hi John done a scrape no sign of parasites on both fish, fish back up and swimming in qt pool was missing a couple of items to treat and didn’t want to sedate again today so will get everything tomorrow and do all the fish that have ulcers fingers crossed
Added acrifavine to the pool to give them a kick start before I treat tomorrow
