Lastly I found that some kois had fungus on their body and head area, so I tried to cure them with 3% salt + teramycin. 3 days later, all kois were just get okey then I changed the water about 30% to flush out the antibiotic waste. Then a week later I found 2 of the kois having fungus back again and I did the same medication to them, and last night was the 2nd night but I found all the kois breathe hardly. The water had many bubbles and I quickly test the water and found the pH down to 2,8 while TDS hit 500+. I just don't have any idea what was happening.....
