Help please
I had a so called expert come and scrape my fish he said I had white spot and treated pond with fmg after he put in pond .he realised I had put in salt ,he then drained pond and retreated, my fish started to die , I have had them four years , after ringing him he said I should use second treatment, they all started to turn over , so I diluted the water now trying to get rid of fmg , I just scrape fish for first time and found flukes , what can I use because I have fmg in pond. And I known some treatment can not be combined
thanks in anticipation

It was in a week but I had salt in there at 1 percent and I done another dose after 7 days but the fish start to go over - the fish that are still alive have now got flukes

Where are you based mate?
How many gallons is your pond and what KG of salt did you add? 1% is a lot for a pond dosage. Did someone advise that level mate? What salt % is in the pond now?
sorry for all the questions, however would like to help if I can.
Cheers

I have drained pond and refilled slowly my pond was only 4000 lites with 5 fish , maybe I got the salt content wrong , as the person who told me had the meter but I know there was 1500 grams in there , but when he put the fmg in there he did not realise there was salt in there so we drain , and put new water and he retreated, then they started to died, now fish which are left are flashing, done a scrape found flukes and have put in fluke m now , thanks

Ok, so... the salt content based on those metrics would be nowhere near 1% mate as suspected. FMG (not Formalin only) with low level salt is OK for Koi so there was unfortunately no need to drain down. As this was drained down it is unlikely to have killed whitespot (if that was indeed there at the time of the first scrape) and can be a little tricky to find at times.
