I found this picture which is very similar to one of my koi.
Only 1 koi of my stock have this on his fins but I cannot see anything on his body but I did not take the fish out of the water yet.

Is that pox? why at the edge of the fins seem like a fin rot?
And what about the rest of the koi which seem healthy without any pox appear on them?
Is this Carp Pox?

Re: Is this Carp Pox?
Okay what do I do ?
I have read a bit on the internet and is there a possibility it is coldwater ich ?
Well, right now the temperature of the water is 24+ Celsius. One fish seems with many lumps. 2 more fish seem to show signs of pox or whatever that is.
Should I remove them from the pond ?

Re: Is this Carp Pox?
its 1000% pox there is no such thing as coldwater ich and there is only one species
no don't remove it ( unless you really feel you have to) it will go on its own when the immune system becomes stronger

Re: Is this Carp Pox?
There are more fish which are of quite some value with them. This thing seems to be spreding to the other fish.
Also its 25 C and most sources on the internet suggest that the problem is reduced at those temperature but the truth is that it is more and more..
The picture I showed you before are from the internet. I will take some pictures and post them soon but yea I guess I have to accept it that it is carp pox.
However it is such a nasty thing. bubbles everywhere.

Re: Is this Carp Pox?
Just to keep this thread updated. I found out something astonishing.
While I moved the koi with the syptoms into another pond, even though I shouldnt.
I decided to make a big change of water, add salt for stress and make my own food. Using fish, carrots, spinach, garlic, oils.
Now almost all the pox syptoms have disappeared with very few left on the fins of one of the showa.
