Hi Guys. The image on the left was from a vets website. The image on the right was from mine. I could swear that looks like costia. Please let me know if you think I'm right. Those were flukes too...correct?!?! I can assume a secondary bacteria, by nature of the dropsy. Usually pseudomonas and aeromonas? I dont know when I can get a health advisor to come...I will try. In the mean time, I will remove all the fish with dropsy and treat separately for a bacterial kidney infection. I will then deal with flukes in my main pond. I have read that usually the flukes give the secondary bacterial infection. If I can eradicate flukes from the main pond...maybe I can prevent the other fish from getting the secondary infection.
If it is costia...it should mostly be dead from the 2 high dose treatments of form/mal green?
Until I can get more help:
main pond ---flukes
treatment tank--- flukes and secondary bacteria in kidney
both...costia ...already nuked...hopefully
I will not heat anything!!! Last time I thought it was khv...I tried heating, then they ALL started to die!!! I know that heat definitely will make it 100% worse.
Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it!!
