      Koi with white puffy spots on his side and tail

      Hello,

      I have a Koi that has white puffy spots on his side and tail. Another has them on his head. I did some research and it looked like Koi Pox, but it didn't go away when the water temperatures increased this summer. Can you tell from these pictures what it might be and recommend what I should do?

      Thanks so much,

      Matt

      That looks more fungal to me and I would treat by catching the fish and sedating it with oil of cloves to keep it from hurting itself during treatment and then using a small paint brush, rub table salt on the areas to remove them, and then treat with iodine before returning to the pond.

      It would be a good idea to get teat results for ammonia, nitrite, pH morning and evening, KH and temperature to let us see what the water quality is. Clear water is not necessarily good water and your water if very clear.

      Is the pond a rock bottom pond? How old?
