    Will be interesting to hear what Paula advises.

    I have had a reply from Dr Paula Reynolds first thing this morning (which I find absolutely amazing and thank you for those that recommended her services), her preliminary suggestion is the fish appears to be suffering from Carp Pox, although obviously diagnosis is difficult using photos only. Thank you all for your help!

    Pox is normally showing as white blobs.
    That's what threw me off

    I have his book. Bit outdated now. With all these new treatments. But the book has helped me no end.
    Knows his stuff. Wish he would bring a more updated one out. I would buy it tomorrow.

    If this is Carp Pox then its would appear to be an aggressive strain to be spreading across Mr Topiary's other fish, quite worrying when going by what i have read usually it just affects 1 or 2 fish and then others over a long period of time?

    They reckon it spreads to other fish if the pox blob is broken. Like if you cut it open.
    With what I have read it stresses for you not to try and scrape it off. And open them up.
    Looking at that on mr tops fish.
    I reckon the fish has been doing it to its self. Like flashing and damaged the pox.
    Just my thought s on how its spread.
    Tell you the truth though. I am still flabbergasted that its carp pox.

    Hi Fred,

    Leave it alone. If you try and scrape it off
    Then it will spread. Or that's what I am led to believe lol.All my fish with carp pox. Over a 2year period. Have got rid of it
    With there own immune system. All my fish have never been disfigured with it. Yet some peoples have. Here is mankysanke
    On carp pox
