      Exclamation Strange filtration issues and flicking fish

      My pond is 7000l
      Blagdon pump
      kockney koi yamitsu 30w UV
      Cloverleaf CL2

      Its been hectic in my pond lately but there has been problems. My koi were spawning swell as some really bad weather which blew some of the plants blew of the shelf and landed on the floor. The fish started flicking so I used Blagdon anti parasite and fungus treatment which didn't really help so I decided to pickup the plants and do a water change due to the pump collecting a lot of the plant soil. I found some strange unexpected things in the filter which I hope you can help me identify. thank you all so much and can't wait to enjoy this forum.

      Would appear to be insect larvae like dragon fly nymphs, but not sure. If it were in the pond, I suspect it would be fish food, yummy. Many insect larvae are found in filter components where the fish can't get to them.

      Keep your words sweet. You never know when you may have to eat them.
