I have just treated my Koi for Costia with Mg & F (Malachite Green & Formalin) with dosage as per Duncan`s book with one treatment.
For the first 24 hours they were distinctly unhappy but 3 days after treatment they are fighting fit & eating madly.
Duncan states Costia is normally gone in one pass but repeat treatment mops up the stragglers.
I am reluctant to put my fish through un-necessary suffering & am interested to know if everyone follows the mantra of repeat treatments.
What do you do....single pass or repeat treatment. ??

hi Kingfisher
my advise is do a scrape and see what you have left to deal with but I usually do two treatments for this ailment

Re: Costia repeat treatment ?
Right, thank you Duncan. Repeat treatment it will be,after the water change.
