| I had a problem with dropsy and bacterial infections this year. This ginrin sanke had a major problem. He pulled through and looks great now. I separated him to a hospital tank. I treated him with a product called fungus cure (also treats bacterial indections and dropsy). I treated the fish with jungle labs medicated, anti bacterial koi food. It took 4-6 weeks for a full recovery. I also found the source of the bad bacteria. I re-lined my pond this year. I had a spare 10'X10' piece of liner. I layed this on the bottom of the pond (I re-lined because a tree branch fell in the pond and tore it in 3 places, I hoped the extra liner on top would protect it from happening again). Well, My koi were going under the liner and eating "stuff". When I pulled this liner out...there was a cloud of brown junk!!! I lost many fish to this stupid error...they all suffered from bloating, fin rot, mouth rot, ulcers...it was terrible. I hope by explaining my stupid error, no one will do the same thing. |
