Hi there, this is a v nasty infection and in a difficult place! Are the rays of the tail broken completely where the tail meets the body?? From previous experience If the damaged rays are rubbing while the fish swims it will be next toimpossible to close this up! Can you get a close up of rays when ...

Also I'm sure the breeders have had to treat regularly in Japan , more so with the lower grade consol fish. The higher the grade the more space...

Hi Duncan, sorry to here about your loss! Don't know if you missed my last post on this but you didn't reply to my question as to whether you think this could be caused by the stress of being heat ramped to 30oC and then back to 10 over space of 5-6 days?

Hi Bob , yes you just drill a 8mm hole hammer in plug then the pin gets hammered into plug to secure it, once your finished i just go round with a roll off duct tape and ...

We use insulation wall plugs on any ponds we fit boards to. There very cheap and easy to install .

Hi grovsey , i have used aquakote on a few customers ponds and it does give a good finish, you have to make sure the 2 coats are done within 24hrs of each other or there can be issuses with the 2 layers not bonding. it isnt cheap though and can work out very similar in price to getting your pond f/g...
