Thank u again! Just muddling through here with the help of family and my friend got me a swinging deal on filtration! Btw thanks for the idea about...

And no ulcers seen.

Thank you for the great info. I will do another change and add conditioner. The other two are still odd tonight (they are butterfly type), and even...

The water quality numbers look good. It appears the fish is doitsu, so may not show the pine cone effect associated with dropsy, but the eyes...

Pond looks beautiful!

Yes that is the right Prime. You may want to get the SeaChem Ammonia Alert Card, which shows the level of the toxic ammonia, or unbound ammonia. If...

Thanks Steve.

Why are you replacing your pump? Have you made any changes last/this year? Shade, fish load/growth/feeding, filtration? Since you've been...

Thank you Nancy.

. Does my flow rate through the bogs look too fast, I think the pump supplying them 50/50 is rated to move 3500gph and it’s a 4000 pond. Also I have...

Very interesting. Are your baskets planted?

Sunburn possibly? If your water temperature is 86°F, you are probably in full sun? Is there any place they can hide out other than under the Lily...

Great progress and beautiful sunset! :yes: I'm with Leecm3. The waterfall looks like it needs a little structure to hold up. I use a piece of...

Welcome and thanks for joining Koiphen! :cheer: My pond took years to complete so it sat empty with its collar and sides exposed for a long time. ...

If it were a fairly sudden change, a few days, then I would say it is probably a bruise from slapping the tail against lily pots, rocks, skimmer, or...

You are probably on the right track. I have seen a lot of people treating fish with iodine or hydrogen peroxide as cleaning agents and then covering...

I'm not sure what kind of test kit you have but know even though you use an ammonia binder, ammonia and nitrite will probably register on the...
