Several white dots on koi's tail fin
Hello all,
First of all I would like to thank everybody for the support given to everybody that find themselves with a sick koi.
I often read as much as I can and I want to give a thumbs up for the community that really can save a koi's life (and a sad time for the owner) :like::bow3:
It seems that after winter, spring brought some issues to my koi.
During the last couple weeks, I can see that during feeding, most of the koi flash and some of them jump (although not always).
I checked my water parameters and they seem fine.
But I think the problem comes from another direction. A couple days ago I spotted a couple dots on my chagoi, all of them on the left pectoral fin.
A few days later, I saw one of my sanke with a white dot near the tip of the pectoral fin.
This afternoon I was able to spot several white dots on the ki utsuri's tail fin and additionally, the chagoi has now a few more dots, this time on the dorsal fin.
After a more closeup look at the utsuri, I saw another white dot on the gill cover and another one (which looks more squarish) at the edge of the gill plate.
I am not sure if this is some sort of parasite, or a virus.
It is interesting though, that I spotted what seemed to be one of these spots like dividing itself, could this be that the parasite is multiplying itself?
Hope somebody can know what could be the issue with my koi.
Here are two photos that shows better the problem:
