Thanks jm1212
We will. As it stands now we have the ammonia down to nothing by doing the water changes and adding the Activated carbon back into the filters.
water QC
Ammonia...0
PH...7.5
Nitrite..0
Nitrate..0
Temp..82
wow. i missed this thread.
it is not uncommon to have those areas show up pink/red.
much of it depends on the color mprph you have..when you find fish with lighter colors gold and silver..those areas show up red. it is where the fin and body join..
I have healthy male gold koi..both of them have the same red.
it could be a result of nitrites..but I have scalare that recovered from ammonia burns..when that happens the fins erode. literal burning away from the tip towards the base.
generally nitrite problems are indicated by red gills.
stay on top of your water changes.

u noe the ph is alkaline u should try keep them in acidic water around 5.5-6.5 they will do best in these ph levels
actually most domestic angels can thrive in a much higher pH..
5.5-6.5 may be a good range for some wild angels..but most do quite well in a neutral pH (read as pH7.0)up to and including pH 8
mine spawn in pH7.2 .
Sorry it took so long to get back. Had to fix the filter on the Koi pond.
Everyone seems to be doing well.
Ammoina is still nothing
PH 7.5

The redness on Zorro is going away but he and his mate are not eating as much as they did before this mess.
Thanks again everyone for your help..

i would test my well water out of the tap to be sure there's no amms from your well. if your or a nieghbors septic is leaking you can get nitrate and ammonia readings in your well water!
