Good close look at some of the soon to be monsters one thing that was beaten into me by a mate a koi keeper of 30 + years is don't panic if you find a bug or two on a slide if you have a problem you will find the slide is near jumping around with critters on it there. You will always find something when looking treating is down to the numbers you find. This tip has served me well over the years
Hi Martyn. Totally agree. I only decided to take scrapes because of the Kujaku and what I could see on the tail and fins. All has disappeared now. Also the Goromo dorsal fin is a good indicator that something is not right. Otherwise, like my other animals, better if they get on with things 😊 If The chag becomes too big, at least I will have an excuse to build a larger pond 😊
Hey Lau ! Great to see the fish bowled and beautiful Chag, love mine. Sorry I haven't been checking in as frequently, as you know from the comments on my last videos things haven't really been going to plan with the pond. But I am still here, work has made frequencies with my videos a little longer but I will be filling another one soon. Love the intro and little video cut aways at the beginning ! That Kujaku is gorgeous and the pattern is stunning. Looking froward to the next video and hopefully you get those parasites ! All the best Josh
Hi Joshua, nice to hear from you as always. Do you mean comments you got? I will be checking them. Thank you for the kind comments, playing a bit with the video editing. Are you going to the National show in Coventry on the 14th and 15th? Would be great to meet you there!
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection Hey Lau, great to hear back. No bad comments thankfully just when I responded to let you know about the troubles I'm having so I didn't write them in this comment. It's a tough old hobby but I will plough through and hopefully come out of it a better koi keeper. Keep experimenting, I love it ! Unfortunately I will be on holiday so won't be able to make it, if you spot any nice fish let me know. I'm going after quality not quantity for the next few years and reducing my stock. That Kojaku of yours really is beautiful !
Great video, one of the comments refreenced the age old adage of only treating when absolutely necessary ... lots preach this stuff but what else would they do if there is a clear sign of reddened dorsal fin and tail. You've performed a cracking job nursing the goromo back to tip top health. Good luck and as Leon mentioned you should be right for the rest of the season. Be well and keep em comin!
Thank you. That's very kind of you. Yes the goromo has been through a lot, but he is strong again, hopefully he will be putting weight on. It was touch and go for a few weeks, but I am there with him now.
Hi Lau, the delivery of your goromo sounds like a courier problem, although i would have thought the bag should have contained enough oxygen for two days, but well done for nursing it back to life!
Hi Nigel, I think it's a problem on the supplier side first, as a person said that the fish left Wednesday night and it arrived Friday. When I called them to explained what the problem was, they immediate said that the fish left Thursday. But I have seen how some boxes containing fish get badly handled.. so the combination of both probably almost killed the fish. Putting an air pump is his mouth wasn't ideal, but it saved him 😊
Got some good growth going on there Lau, shocking !! 48hrs in a bag uk to uk, I reckon that was down to the courier rather than the dealer but if the dealer bagged it up and prepped the koi properly it could of done 48hrs in a bag .., I was right then guessing tric ☹️but some good info on the nasty little blighters, I found alparex works best for me but it does turn your pond luminous green for a while , see you Saturday 👍👍😀😀
Lovely fishes you have got Its so sad that they won't except what they did to the poor fish, hope you get your fish healthy again , you are such a caring lady and love your pond stay safe So glad you have it all sorted now .Hugs Carol
Hi Marek. I have to say, it is fascinating. Not scary looking like Flukes, just really interesting. It must be amazing to have a super sophisticated microscope! Thank you for the comment about the Kujaku. I really like the way he looks and how wider he is getting at the minute.
Good update Lau, I have tric earlier in the year and went with PP at 80% dose rate to be safe. I did top it up with a 50% dose after 2.5 hours and didn't need the HP. Next day water was crystal and tric gone. Don't blame you for not wanting to try it but for me FMG didn't work. Hope you have sorted it now.
Yeah PP is a harsh treatment. More worried about their gills than anything. Formaldehyde seems to have worked .. so far it has after the second dose. If it comes back and they weren't fully eradicated, then I will do PP.
Well done.. Not an easy job by yourself. Nice of you not to name the dealer.. I would be mad. Poor goromo.. They are one of my fav next to Showa.. Good work with him
The goromo will forever be your special fish after what he's been through. Good capture 📸 of the tric hopefully your clear for the rest of the season now 🤞👍
Yes, as much as I feel that he is a needy fish, it's in fact me who is constantly looking at if he is ok.. he s been here for a month now, but yeah, he is my special fish.
Hi Lau another awesome video mate it happened to me too treated for flukes with the lernex Pro then ended up with costia 🤬🤬🤬🤬 bugs this year is maddening nice that you have got rid of it. And the treatment you have had with you're goromo is absolutely disgusting mate I would be spewing bullets if it was me, I say name them so that others are aware of how they treat fish and customers, pond's looking good though mate 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Vince. Marek was explaining the other day that costia was almost pretty normal after flukes as they get released from the guts and via the gills. That was interesting. For the Goromo, I know.. I am pretty disgusted to be fair. I have been emailing them and over the phone. They know what they have done. I am shocked more than anything. But what else can I do... But he is healthy now and the red on his dorsal fin has gone, he is eating lots, but it has been tough with him. I am surprised he is still alive..
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection I am good thanks. I have been a bit lazy of the TH-cam vids but plan to make another soon. I am looking forward to meeting your other fish. They look great and those varietys are on my wish list.
@@countrykoipond I was wondering where you had been and if you were ok. It's not always easy with TH-cam and time consuming at times.. but so nice to watch what people are up to. Dreaming of a larger pond and .. more chags 😊😊
I think overall I haven't done too bad, especially with the flukes. Expense on treatments is the last thing I needed after the build.. and all the bits I still have to do..
Lau I was watching my koi last night my chagoi thinking how much you would love her beautiful colour she's about 60 cm had her about 8 year's now good luck 👍
Oh wow. Would love to see her. Please send me a picture (if you want to of course) either via messenger or via email laumagro.photography@yahoo.co.uk If I had a larger pond...
Thank you Mike. I really like the Kujaku. There were 3 out of 16 with the darker scales. This one was my favourite. The video doesn't really show but honestly, the orange is fluorescent. My chag... Well .. I love her colour. She is getting bigger (wider) at the moment. I absolutely love that fish. Hope you are well.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection excellent glad to hear it ,just keep at a slow pace till they properly healed .keep safe lau and say hello to all the animals from me 👍🏻😀
Hi Lau these critters have immune escape this year ,that goromo is beautiful think it's my favourite such a sad story so glad you have nursed him back to health ,I am just waiting to put my second dose of fluke treatment in fish are still flashing Arrrh 😡😡hate using treatment after treatment think it can do more damage than good ,take care hope the knee is getting better x
@@goldencorndiarys1458 yeah, see i find that strange with the dosage, do they expect people not to clean their filter and not do any water changes for 3 weeks??.
@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection I know what you mean I was thinking about putting the second treatment in early never sure what to do hate to see the fish flashing x
Be careful with different dealers to put fish together, I did it once and all my fish were dead, no worms ect..why I don't know. Bacteria also differ. Restarted and now they are doing well, when you buy new fish, always in caritaine tank.😒👍👍👍
Oh no, not good. So after Flukes, watch out for costia mainly and/or trichodina. Especially costia as from what I have learnt recently, it is the one that gets released from the koi guts and via the gills. Hope you can get it sorted. Keep me informed.

Always fascinates me watching tric under the microscope, reminds me of the spinning blades in a philishave razor.
