Hello mate, I’m having the exact same issue as you with the exact symptoms. I’ve heard of a couple of other people with the same issues also. It’s strange that multiple people in different parts of the country have the exact same issues. I’m completely stumped as to what to do to be honest. Local vets don’t want to know and there aren’t any koi vets in my area. I’ve topically treated / pp’d / Virkon aquatic’d along with Acrivlavin and I’ve also used the Ozone gel. This kills the rot and then it appears in another place. Like yourself, I’m starting to loose hope now and thinking of culling the lot and making some improvements to the pond and starting again next spring. Good luck with your koi and hopefully we can come through the other side of this.
@steviechapman1980 sorry to hear this mate . It's horrible isn't it ?. I'm doing regular doses of virkon and I'm doing acriflavin too. It seems to be keeping everything from getting worse
@@Sharpeyskoi cheers mate. Yeah, it’s awful. I had some lovely koi and now they look a right state. I’ve held off the virkon, since I’ve been treating with Acrivavin, as I wasn’t sure if they could take it? Maybe, I’ll start redoing with that in a day or 2. Just not sure where to go with this if it gets any worse Let me know if you have any joy with the treatments you’re doing.
@steviechapman1980 I'm doing them 7 days apart . So acriflavin then virkon 7 days after. But I do weekly water changes too . I stopped using my water feature as wasn't sure if the metals and rust was having negative impact on the water. I also make sure not build of waste is anywhere that's not getting to the retro drain . My sankes back has improved although no dorsal fin left and I've trimmed his tail fin with scissors around the redness . His vent fin is still bad and an ulcer on its side
@@Sharpeyskoi cheers mate, I’ll give that a try with alternating the virkon and acriflavin. I think I’ll have to do something with a couple of the tail fin’s as well. What’s bloody nightmare this is. Fingers crossed, we can both get it sorted.
Your fish has dropsy i reckon mate. Sorry.
@corencaldwell9901 hi Yeah it did mate . Unfortunately I lost it in the end . Thanks for watching
Hi Dan, Sorry to hear that you are still having problems with your fish mate. Sorry to ask if there is any news on the mug front mate I know that you are having problems with your fish mate so I do understand that your fish comes first mate. Steve
@stephenlaming3288 your on my listt for next batch mate
Have you thought about getting in contact with Paula Reynolds you might be able to send a bacterial swab she may be able to help either way I hope it gets sorted
@garrydavis3517 thanks mate , yes I think it's time I did that tbh
Best filter ever. My dad has had his pond for about 40 years and he has always struggled with keeping the water cleat. I got him one of these and the pond has never looked clearer!
@@kellyb0279 I really rate them myself . It's all about getting that sweet spot with the flow. My water is so clear too
I’ve been there myself not good 😢😢
tell me about it
Gutted for ya Sharpey pal, there may come a time where you have to think about starting afresh and disinfecting the lot. Hopefully u get through it tho mate 👍🏼👌🏼
@westbromkoi cheers mate
Hi just seen your vid are you running the pump you put in pond straight to your Bakki shower
@steventoole897 yes mate

@steventoole897 I don't have a preference filter before it so in my top tier I just have foams to collect waste to keep bakki media clean
@@Sharpeyskoi I have a easypod to uv then tempest back to pond but bought a 2 tier js koi bakki shower so will have to run it with pump from pond as can’t run it from tempest thanks for idea 👍
Sharpey mate, I'm so sorry you're still having problems 😢 Don't give up. You both love it 😀 Just a lot going on at the moment.😮 Chin up, mi duck😂🐟🦆
@Garykoi625 cheers me duck. Good to get encouraging comments
It is extremely unfortunate that such problems still occur at this time of year. In Japan, we usually avoid this problem by not adding any new KOI during the feeding period and leaving it until autumn, but isn't it normal over there to add KOI regardless of the season?
@atsuminaoki9910 thanks. Tbh i haven't added any all year.
We generally add koi between April and September (spring and summer) but that's not fixed. Koi dealers sell most of their stock off cheaply, certainly going into winter. You might well be right that we are doing it wrong.
Hi Sharpy. I'm getting a low flow through the outlet. Pond variflow is set at 45%?
Hope you get it sorted but I had the same with my koi I ended up euthanize the lot and sterilised the pond and filtration but then ripped it all out to be sure nothing was lingering it's the way I went but we do things differently the pond is rebuild now and all is good 👍
cheers mate, im seriously considering doing it
I think you are in a catch 22 situation. Starting up a completely new system with fresh water and no beneficial bacteria in the filter will only stress the koi even more, adding to the negative situation, but filling it with original pond water, will only transfer any bad bacteria like aeromonas or pseudomonas to that new system and then you’d have two systems with the same problem. If the bacteria are already in the koi’s system, then no amount of external treatments will work and that’s were IV antibiotics need to be administered and these are hard to get hold of. Using CT or virkon will only lower the levels of bad bacteria, but will also lower the levels of beneficial bacteria, which can then also allow the bad bacteria to get an even stronger hold over the system, if they recover quicker than the beneficial bacteria. Dosing the pond with salt may help alleviate the stress factors on the koi, which may help, but this can then restrict the products that you could use in this situation. I’ve heard good things about ozone gel as a topical treatment, but this has to be used carefully as with most things ozone related. Hope this info helps, you will get on top of it eventually and I’m sure there’s lot of other koi keepers out there that will add their thoughts and ideas, which will help you beat this thing. 🤞
thanks i really appreciate your comment. im not sure if to set up another vat with 50% pond water 50% clean but to cycle a new filter use so much from my nexus so its at least its mature. like you say its catch 22
I've been there, mate. I know how you're feeling, but keep with it, and you will come out the other end. Hope you get on top of it, Sharpy. Don't give up, mate!! After all the heartache I went through, I'm enjoying the hobby again.
im persevering for now but its hard.
Have a look inside your bakki shower, mate. When I stripped my pond to disinfect it, I found my bakki was holding a lot of rotting crap with absolutely stunk. If that was the cause for my bacterial problems, I don't know, but it's worth a look, mate.
@mickskoipond its a good shout and tbh i do empty a bucket of pond water through the bakki once a week but yes I'll defo strip it down amd take a look . I'll film it
Nightmare Dan, must be very stressful, its been quite a long fight now. Really hope you get it sorted 🤞🏼
Hi sorry to here about your fish I’ve had the same problem and lost nearly all my fish tried lots of treatments I changed all the water in the pond and started again and that seemed to help but good luck
thanks mate, its stressing me out mate at min.
You might find the bacterial infection is in all your fish now. You could isolate but cycling a new filter with those bacterial problems will accelerate their problems. If you could use a cycled filter with a 50/50 mix pond and clean water isolate them would be ideal.
Wow that’s rough to deal with. I know how stressful it is. As Ive commented before, I’ve been dealing with bacterial issues myself. I hate having to treat the wounds. They take a long time to heal. I have a shusui with a similar wound as your ki matsuba. It has taken 3 months so far but it is healing slowly. You know what I did… I got a 110gallon stock tank and put all 4 of my poorly koi in it. Put a small pressure filter and an air stone in it. Salted it up to .30-.50%. Treat their wounds every week or so and kept the water clean. Put some bacterial treatment in and let it ride. I figured its much easier to maintain a small body of water and much easier to treat the wounds. I can see the fish easier to watch their progress. I thought “if they survive, they survive. If not I tried”. It seems to be working and it’s way less stressful.
@susanschonauer8487 tell me about it. Its really stressing me out and my garden I'd like a building site at the min so finding somewhere to put them is difficult
Looking sweeeeeet Sharpey bruva it'll a cone good 💯🧁👍👍👍

Wish to god I did not swap my multi bay for nexus 300 series! Absolutely shite on mechanical side. Fine particles are terrible for such a high priced filter.
oh really? maybe you have the flow too high?. i dont really get any fines tbh
@@Sharpeyskoi I have had nexus for years mate , had my pond 30 years it’s old and pump fed with retro bottom drain. 50mm solvant weld pipe pumps under patio into garage then through 110 uv in to nexus , 35000 variable speed pump , running at 50% , ponds 22000 litres ( 4000 gallon ) the fine particles are a mere , I hooked a tempest up ran that at 5000 an hour it kept blocking up so got shut. My 20000 multibay worked like a dream water like gin and happy koi but an absolute pig to clean. Bio side on nexus is faultless the mechanical side is terrible.
@Daz533 have you though about dropping a draco in there?
@@Sharpeyskoi yes mate but I don’t want to spend another 1500 quid on one. With any nexus you’ve got to run another filter with it. I’ve tried a tempest running into a bakki shower it blocked amid summer just from fines that was running a 4000 pump through it. I had an old bubble bead filter worked brilliantly but it looked awful next to pond so I sold it 🤦♂️, I’m going to pick up a 10000 multibay in winter just fill it with brushes and matting with a vortex and run a 6000 pump through it just to collect the fines. If I would have known what I know now 10 years ago I would have never bought the nexus 300 at stuck with my 20000 multibay.
Hi Sharpey. I 've installed my Nexus 220 after a tempest filter with a waterfall blade. The pond pump is set at 50% but I'm only getting a low flow in the outlet of the nexus. Even when I cut off the flow to the water blade it's still slow flow. Is there anything that I've missed doing.?
Hi Sharpy. Many thanks for the info on installation of the Nexus 220 I've just completed my installation and I'm very pleased with the result i just need to buy a ball valve to reduce the flow to the waterfall.
Perfect mate
Hi Sharpy. I'll soon be upgrading to a nexus 220 from and eazy pod pump fed. I was wondering can I add my tempest and the sieve that has two outlets. Thanks Tony.
@tony6881 not sure about the seive but the tempest yes but before the nexus if pump fed
@@Sharpeyskoi Thanks. Only thing is my excited setup with the eazy pod is after it then through a water blade.

I’ve had good results with Virkon but I’ve used at 5-6 times the suggested dosage on Day 1 and then the regular dose on days 2, 3, and 4. I then do exactly the same after filter clean and water changes. I run this cycle 2-3 times, possibly 4. I use the Virkon powder as you get twice as much for the same price, it’s exactly the same except it doesn’t have the anti foaming agent so can cause slight foaming for an hour or two, but saves a lot of money! I’ve found this regime has helped me but you might want to try treating with something like Alparex by Colombo first which is quite effective against fungal infection’s! Good luck!
@ces69 thankyou , hopefully I'm on the right rack
@@Sharpeyskoi Virkon works brilliantly but you will need much higher doses than suggested for it to be effective against problems such as yours and possibly antibiotics! “Koi Wholesale” have done an extended video on treatments and bacteria problems including Virkon a month or two ago which is worth watching! You should check it out!
@ces69 nice one I'll check it out
Totally get this,only coming out of the same situation. Firstly I did a pp dip to help stop it's progression, virkon in the main pond to cut down on any bad bacteria and along with this I have done two daily dips in a .09% salt solution with Acriflavin in it at a higher dose than stated on the bottle. Took about a week and a half for it to change from the reddening to white and starting to heal now. Did a second full dose of the virkon a week later to stay ontop of things till the pond settles down again. Left the affected koi in the salt/Acriflavin mix for a good hour -hour and a half. Obviously keep an eye as they will look like they are toppling over,but once they right themselves, leave them for as long as possible for it to help kill off the bacteria and the finrot. By doing this you are treating the pond with antibac with the vircon and harder with the salt and Acriflavin which is a antibacterial as well along with the salts healing powers. Gives them a double hit and didn't do mine any harm . Hope some of this gives you help. And stay with it and the pp will stop the rot in its tracks and before it reaches too deep. Apologies for the novel🤭 best of luck and persevere

Hi Sharpey, Sorry to hear are still having problems with your fish mate I know what's it like when went though the same thing a couple of years ago I bought a ibc tank that holds a 1000 litre I use that now mate also I was wondering if you have had a chance to send me a mug yet mate I did email you with my address mate.

I appreciate your updates on the koi. As I’ve commented before, I am having bacterial issues myself so it helps to see what works and what doesnt. I now have a small quarantine tank which makes things much easier for treating the poorly koi. Easier to catch and less expensive on treatments in a smaller body of water. I hope your koi mend up soon (cross fingers). Keep the updates coming.

Me too mate
I went through roughly the same thing a year a go. I was having fin rot, raised scales, excess mucus, sores and red patches. I couldn't work out what it was. The water was testing ok with my API liquid tests or so I thought. I bought a blue lab guardian because all the cool youtubers had one and tbh they are a great bit of kit. It turned out that my fish were swimming around in pond water with zero KH and a PH of 6.5- 6.7 so my fish had acidosis from what I can tell. This is despite my API tests showing a KH of 5-6 and PH of 7.6. I got some bicarb in there straight away and got the ph up to 7.1 but they still weren't happy. Next day I raised it a bit more and eventually settle on 7.6 over a few days. Over the next 4-8 weeks keeping the pond dosed with bicarb to keep a stable PH all my fish except 1 all made a full recovery with the help of some Tamodine and Virkon tablets. I put 5 scoops of bicarb in every 5 days now and everything is great, the water is lovely. I can watch my PH drop with the bluelab guardian and when it gets to 7.3 at midday (because it drops at night anyway) I add bicarb. Might not be what you are going through but thought I would share. All the best, hope you get to the bottom of it.
Nice one . Glad your on top of it now
That’s really sad to have to put a pet down. Been there many times. But you’re right, the koi is probably suffering with not a high likelihood of recovery. And not to mention, it’s better for the health of the other koi. Nevertheless it’s always a difficult decision to have to make. Hopefully the sanke/showa recovers and you get the issue sorted with the virkon.
Thankyou
Hey up sharpey mate I know exactly how you feel bud been there 😢 bud what Davey said from black country koi said is your best option right now but my advice would be to contact Paula find out exactly what your dealing with. Because all these things your doing at the moment might be making things better but they could also be making them worse as your treating blind at the moment 👍 so contact Paula find out what the issue is then she will also tell ya best treatment regime for them 👍😊
Thanks mate 👍 appreciate it
Hi I’ve had the same problem losing fish , I’ve lost about 35 fish I tried FMG from NT LABS this worked for me it’s worth a try
Oh wow I Hope you get on top of it mate , that's a big number
Sharpy mate , my advise to you is to trim the infected fins and paint pp paiste onto it , it will cortarize the cut and allow it to heal and grow back , the only part that wont re grow is a main outside ray but the rest should recover fine . Im not garenteeing its gonna work on all the issues but is a great way to kill fin rot as long as you make sure you remove all the infected area . Good luck buddy 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi mate , I'll be honest that's prob a bit out my comfort zone and I wouldn't be comfortable taking on such a procedure
🤞🤞 that Verkon does the trick mate...🤔👍
