    Can anyone help me please

    One of my koi has developed a suspect looking area. My pH is 6.5. I have used an anti parasite treatment, but it is not improving. Thank you. I have a picture of the problem but don't know how to upload it

    How are your other fish behaving?
    Do you know what parasite you were treating for?

    I would be checking water parameters first: chlorine, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, Kh etc.

    Then taking a mucous scrapes to inspect via a microscope. If you don't have a microscope, do you know anyone who does and would be willing to help?

    Meanwhile if you can sedate the fish and clean/treat the wound that would be a good start.

    Probably bashed itself and has a dead scale which has got infected. Pull fish out, sedate, tamodine the area and see if the scale pulle out.
