      gill problem?

      Can someone give me some advice regarding the gill. This fish didn't look right the past 2 days. she wasn't very active, so I decide to bowl her up and look. She look fine. but I open up the gill looks like the gill is a little damage. is there a way to treat this? I change water 10-15% per day.

      ph 7.8
      ammonia .25
      nitrite 0
      nitrate 0

      Any ammonia level could potentially create a stressful environment and result into koi health issues. You need to take a gill snip sample and look under the microscope for parasites. You probably have a parasite or bacterial problem. Than treat accordingly.

      I got this from our health section

      A scrape and scope is needed to find flukes. The most likely area to find them is on the gills. Take two samples from each side of the gill tissue. One from the upper edge and one from the lower edge. It is not uncommon to find them only on one side and sometimes on the upper or lower area only. To say that you've only found one or two so the infestation is not severe is simply not correct. When you consider the tiny sample if you find a couple, just imagine how many more there probably are. Scrape and scope: Be complete! A single sample will not give the needed information as to how far the infestation has progressed, and many times a single sample does not take into account the previously described variability in where they happen to congregate.
