Well I did the right thing I think :( These are pictures after death, I just was not prepared to let this go on any longer...It was bloated a bit yesterday, but today it was fit to burst underneath....obviously well p1ssed off as I had it from a baby, but such is this hobby :( I always wondered how ...

Hi & sorry for the delay in getting to your questions... Duncan, I can't heat to 28 without doing it to the whole pond which is at 21 at the moment. I also have no qt.. (Quick edit)--I can heat the whole pond if needed because it's only a two min job putting the covers back on....What do you thi...

Hi...Right, still trying to mend this carp, but I think nature will have to run it's course with it. I had it bowled last night for the 1st time in a fortnight to give it a gill wash for what it's worth. I still think it's slightly bloated on the under belly & & there are a few red patches i...

Many thanks Duncan

Hi I'm sure it's covered in a post somewhere, but I can't find it. if I want to make up a ltr of dechlorinator for my pond from sodium thiosulphate & water, what is the amount required?
Sorry if I missed it somwhere ..Mike

Hi Gazza, scrapes were done when it first started struggling & nothing at the time found.. I'll try to film it & I'll see if I can fatham out how to put it on you tube...Probably be tomorrow cos it's chucking it down here :( My dealer had not seen it & he was going by my discription. To ...

Hi...I'm still watching my carp acting odd, I was just wondering if it is possible for the over production of mucus to actually stick the outer part of the gill covers to the fishes body.?? Sorry if this seems a really stupid question, but it is the only thing that I can see on this fish. Basically ...

Hi..It's stll not a happy fish, it was not overly impressed with being netted & bled quite a lot. Gills looked normal although the very outer part of the gill cover seemed a lot lighter than normal on one side, the part on the edge that seals the gill while closed if you know what I mean?.. With...

Looking like a nice & neat job mate, at least the diggings done
Mike

Thanks Duncan, I'm not reaching for the chemicals yet, as you sugested I'll give the salt bath a go, I'll just have to go & get some, I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Duncan & thanks for the reply. Yes it is only this fish, & all koi are fine. gill byopsy That sounds a bit beyond me. With regard to noticable gill problems, I really did not have the best light last night mainly because I can catch the fish easier that way. I read with interest your expl...

Hi, after I must admit I thought pond problems & parasite stuff was way in the past, but no :( Just when you think you've cracked it.. I'm not sure but I may have to treat the pond blind on this one despite knowing it's not really the best thing to do. Pond is still Ammonia 0.0 Nitrite 0.0 PH 8....

Not directed at anyone but the bloke in the story, but I can't help share this because I've been chuckleing about it ever since. I remember about 6 weeks ago in my local dealers; there was a guy in with his wife. While his wife was still having a nosey round the shop he was standing waiting to pay ...

Hi Sam, I think there is a lot to be said for what Gazza mentioned regarding flow rate. & also what works on one persons set up dosen't make it right for all...Like you said chasing your a.s.s :) .. In answer to your question regarding stock, 22 fish from aprox 10-12" to 20-24"ish, in ...
