    Unhappy Help please re diagnosis

    Hi,

    Could anyone please help diagnose & suggest the appropriate treatment of my 12" Gin Rin Showa?

    I am fearing it might be Columnaris. The koi is partly covered in a white film and has a growth on its dorsal fin and I have recently noticed its tail is damaged/rotting away.

    The fish is very active and eating well, I have done a scrape and that was clear.

    I have put some very poor photos up, I will try to get some better ones.

    Nitrite 0
    Nitrate 60

    KH 6

    Today is water change day so I will change more than usual to get the Nitrates down.

    No, the growth is fleshy like a wart.

    I have given the fish a salt bath and added salt to the pond, the white covering on the fish is slowly disappearing but the growth looks the same.
