Personally if scrapes were clean I wouldn't be rushing to add anything to the pond.

I would observe, take a few more scrapes in the coming days/ weeks and see if anything pops up on the scrapes.

yes dave for me the way I heard it it was always water hardness that set it off but I cannot confirm this as for my part its just hearsay, I have done no personal research into it maybe next winter ill look into it, im fully booked this winter :o Well the good thing is that the fry that are the sti...

Interesting.. Seems to be pointing to a hardness change / stress type trigger.

Yo Dunc, I for one am an RO user.. Yes it might be placebo but I'd far prefer to run a pH nearer 7 than the source of 8.2+. 100% agree on stability, particularly on the pH ... and it takes a little work in gaining an understanding how the system works but I see that knocking the background Ammonia d...

Personally I think the biggest benefit is in terms of stability of the water. Pollutants are being created all the time... why not remove them on an equivalent rate? At a slow rate canister filters are a load more effective. Are you able to clean your filters without having to top up to keep them an...

Dunc; Not being pedantic just seeking clarification When you say after that you can add some CT to keep bacteria count down do you mean immediately after putting the treated fish back or after a couple of days break after the topical treatment. I always tend to hit with CT simultaneous with any topi...

Any chance when you get the time you could run through the potential uses / doses for MB Duncan.

Worked a treat as a fungicide for eggs last year...

Needs must..

First time at stitching - but there is one heck of a good book that gives you a few clues.. left to my own I would have been tack stitching...

Flank of the fish was as bad, if not worse ...but whilst I did the darning, Diane was doing her duties on that...

Hi Dave,that's a shame!is that one of your breeding pairs? Al Yep 100% my fault, new import didnt know the character of this lad, but no excuse - I should have secured the cover more securely ... it must have taken a look at what was in store and taken offense ... I need some needlework classes ….t...

Thanks Duncan

We will see how it goes.

Dave

Quite a mess..



Proposed plan of action was treat, isolate, make sure I have some hardness in the water and then CT and salt at 1/2oz a gallon..

Dave

Will grab a pic of it in the pond Dunc

Had an accident with a fish Friday, jumped from a vat.. Managed to revive him after a good while. Collateral in terms of scale loss on one flank shouldnt be a problem but we have two full splits in the tail. I have sutures, never had great success with superglue, even drying things out well have fou...

Thanks Guys

There was a tad of Costia in there 10 days back, PP sorted the C but the Rotifers walked through it.

Will move the water hardness up and see what impact a jolt of CT has on them.
