    How long before did you add a dechlorinator, such as Sodium Thiosulfate? I've found that it takes a few days to break down, which will neutralise the PP if any remains in the water during treatment. ...

    I initially thought it was hunger too, but these guys get fed 3 times each day by the auto feeder + whatever I throw in, in between. I guess I could experiment with feeding intervals, see if the...

    I've recently managed to save 2 koi from "dropsy" by dosing the QT tank to .9% salt and heated to 24c. 0.9% is the same level of salt the fish need to maintain in their body I believe and its best...

    I too have been burnt a few times in the same scenario, so I now run a few quarantine tanks (small 70l + big 900l) on separate filtration systems in tandem with the pond all year round in my garage....

    It varied, some developed issues with their mouth over the space of 24 hours and died within a few days. Others had some redness around the mouth for a week or so before actually forming an ulcer....

    No worries, hopefully you don't have to deal with the sort of loss I've had to this year. What I have learned from it is to act fast and remove fish that are showing any signs of illness.

    If you...

    Going purely off of what you've described I would say the beginning stage of mouth rot, possibly caused by the columnaris bacteria.

    In my experience, Shusui's seem to be considerably weaker and more vulnerable to parasites and illness than any other variety. I've had a mixture of british, Israeli and Japanese bred specimens and...

    They look like goldfish to me, probably the comet variety, judging by the colour and tail shape. Nothing wrong with a few goldies imo. They make great QT buddies and are quite hardy in my...

    Cheers for the reply; definitely looks like there's a few flukes. What about the free swimming slightly lemon shaped parasites, are those flukes too?

    Any idea what the cause was? Mass deaths of an existing stock after new additions makes me think the worst!
