North Wales Koi Club Forum

Hey. I posted not so long ago about a one finned fish that was ill. I was told to salt it and I did so for 4 days. 3 days after I stopped salting, it died. Now, back in the main pond, we're losing fish. 1 a day, for at least a week now. They've all been relatively little fish, 2"-10", but ...

It was some chlorinated stuff, My father dealed with it, so I don't really know. But, regardless, the salting seems to be workin', so there we go. Thank you for your help : )

Alright. Thanks :) So. Salted three of them today, the biggest one seemed to respond really well to it, his dorsal fins got right up, and he's swimming around pretty merrily. One of the other two rolled over in it and I had to put him back after a few minutes. Went to see the dealer today and he say...

Where would you suggest buying koi from in the future?

Hah, yep. My fathers *Actually* agreed to buy me some water testing kits after showing him this, so that's a positive. We're gunna' salt them tomorra', well, 3 of them. The biggest one really isn't looking good right now, but I suppose we'll see.

Nah, defineatly WON'T buy from them again. The man seemed proper nice too, but I guess they'll do anything to sell their fish. Where would you suggest buying them from? If it turns out it is Khv, then I probably will start again; but buy some little ones and grow them instead of getting something bi...

Alright. I'll give it a try tomorrow and I'll update with what happens.
Thank you so much for all your help! ;P
I'm pretty glad I discovered this website. Had no idea there were actually other people in north Wales with this hobby! Proper chuffed I've found ya'll

Hey, Yeah, I know it's a notifiable disease, we own a Dairy farm and dad has friends who work for DEFRA. It's eyes aren't sunken, no. There a little pinkness and a patch of red just behind the gills, other than that, nope. If it is a bad bacterial infection, how can I treat it? We've tried bacterial...

Hey. Umm, I don't know what temp the waters is at right now, but this whole disease started when we had some sun and the ponds starting to heat up. I really hope it's not Khv. Well. Really hope isn't even a strong enough word. And I've been denying it all I can. But..the reason I think it is, well, ...

Well, I'll try and get my Dad to go for a testing kit, but I'm not sure he'll go for it. An update on the orginal ill fish..he's been "pine-coning" all day today. Not eating at all. Does anyone know the average time it takes KHV to kill fish? All the symptoms, in my opinion, seem to be poi...
