This Section Is For Advanced Hobbyists Discussing new original cutting edge Experimental and Trial Treatments and Surgical Techniques, here we take koi health and pond keeping to the next level
Hi again....
Here's the health query.
This fish is another that has come into my possession, but it has a fairly severe swelling on the right hand side gill plate. There is no pitting or sign of damage to the gill plate nor any softening. You can see a white mark on the first picture, and it honestly looks as if this would burst with a good squeeze if you found it on your face in the morning!! The fish is in good health and doesn't seem to have any issues, but I wonder what might have caused the deformality and whether or not I should expect it to clear up or whether I should be looking to treat it?
Many Thanks (Again!)
Louie
I think you're probably right about the deformity. Should have got some better pictures, but to be honest there really isn't much to see! Guess I've just got a wonky koi!
