Hi I am new to this forum and pretty new to looking after koi. we have had a pond for a couple of years and have just made it larger so needed to buy some new fish. we made a big mistake of buying a koi from a bargain bucket which i think i am now going to regret. it is doitsu about 10 inches . when we first put it in the qtank it it was not feeding sat on the bottom with fins clamped. I read up on this and thought it must have parasites so we gave it a salt bath then after let it recover in a plain water tank and then later treated it with malachite and formalin. This seemed to do the trick when it went back in the qtank it started swimming around and feeding well we left it here for another couple of weeks then noticed it had fin rot on its tail so i treated the tank for 5 days with a fin rot treatment. the fish seemed fine was swimming and feeding well so we decided to transfer to the new big pond. after catching it and floating it in a bag we could really examine it and saw what looked like a row of worm like protriusions underneath the fish symmetrical . on looking closer we realised that it was its ribs poking through. I really dont know what to do has anyone else heard of this and is there anything we can do to help the fish .or is it kinder to euthanise it.
Any siggestions would be graetfully recieved

Is there any chance you can put a pic up for us to see and are you shore it is a rib as it would have had to have a big knock to cause that at any time did it jump out of get dropped? and is there any chance it was a leach or some kind of worm thing that has atached its self to the fish?

Hi i did try and get a pic but as it is on the underside of the fish the only way i can do this is to put it to sleep . As far as i know it did not jump out but whether it had done it before we had it i dont know. I am pretty sure they are ribs as they are poking through on both sides in a symmetrical pattern about 4 each side when it was in the salt bath it rolled upside down and you could see quite clearly they were bone not leeches or anything else.
