A friend of mine has asked me about his ghost koi, it has an injury on his back closr to it's fin, he said it is getting bigger by the day, it's red around the edges and a grey fleshy colour inside, looks deep.


What could it be? what do we need to do?

the fish doesn't see affected, still swimming and eating?


could it be harmful to add algaeside, as the pond is getting over grown!

Cheers shekoi.

I suspect the pond needs some fresh water and a cleaning of the crud on the bottom. If the fish can be caught, it can be treated. There are some great koi sites with the info you need to pass on. These sites have good health info for goldfish and koi.
