    Infected Koi spreading throughout pond

    Just wondered if anyone knows what this is and how to treat it? I've had this fish for about 15 years and I'd be very sad to see it go; it's also infecting other koi within the pond.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi Mr Top, As above I dont know,but while I was waiting I would be spraying some sort of antibiotic on them and if it is spreading needs sorting asap.
    Maybe Paula Reynolds would know or suggest,to be honest doesn't look good.

    Sorry I cannot help with diagnosis but I can offer some advise. Do not put your fish down on the grass I’m sure that is not going to help thingsInfected Koi spreading throughout pond

    If you just need to photograph the fish maybe try to do it from the net when still in the pond.

    I keep looking at the pics and I think you need Paula as it looks nasty,ok not red or infected but it is a big open wound.

    Think Fred has a link for Paula.

    I agree John.. I have done a lot of research over the months and I have never seen anything like this.

    Seems like it only has 1 eye and that one dont look healthy to me.

    Seems very small for 15 years old?

    Looking inside the wound looks very strange, I have treated a lot of ulsers with no problem but somehow this looks different and he says its spreading so I would be getting expert help ie Paula. Asap!!!

    Agree with john. Paula Reynolds
    And it needs cleaning with antibac. To try and stop what's eating away at it. That's way out my league.
    Hope you can save it.

    Hi thanks for your advice. Probably less than 15 years as you say. I'll see if I can get some help from Paula. Would it be advisable to isolate it in a separate tank? (at this time of social distancing)!

    If others infected not much point in isolating,if you have Paula's email I would send that picture.

    Blimey, can it really get that bad?

    I'm amazed.

    Is there anything you can do to stop it progressing?

    And what about the eye, that wouldn't be Hikui related would it?

    Hikui

    super article in respect of Hikui (if indeed this is the problem). Hikui can get severe if not treated and mainly effects the Beni (which seems to be the main area of concern here). Not sure about the eye TBH.

    Will be interesting to hear what Paula advises.

    Cheers for the link.

    I had one with Hikui last year. It ate away the tancho spot but seemed to be fine once it finished munching through the red. Moved the Koi on in the end as without the tancho spot it wasn't so pretty!
