I have seen and treated Hikkui on a few koi. Dick is right, some lines and types of beni seem to be more prone to it. Was my treatment successful? I would say somewhat. It did look better for a time, and then cam back. I am currwently on the "second round" of treatment on one particular koi. The treatment, taught to me a breeder in japan, and reinforced by Kodama and Japan koi online material (where I got the Billion Pro) is to
1) anesthetize the koi
2) Using a scapel, remove the infected tissue by scraping across the surface.
3) Blot dry the tissue. It bleeds a little bit.
4) Spray on the billion pro, being careful not to get it on the other parts of the skin.
One complication was that on one koi I have treated, I ended up with infected tissue after treating it. Different and under the skin. Had to treat that after with a different method, which was a PIA. Hope that helped.
