we are going to know the in's and out's of everything !!
1) what are your water params , details please , on ph , amm, nitrite, nitrate full reading please .
(on ph early morning , and late evening results)
2) pond set up : turnover , maintenance , the whole thing from start to finish , also do you have a bottom drain ?
3) feeding rates / daily amount , number of fish , stocking rate's ? gallonage of the pond ?
4) how long ago did this start ?
without knowing , what the above are , it will be hard to help you find an answer .
from the pic's , it looks like you have a serious , case of fin rot and ulceration . we need to know the above so we can try to find the cause . can you get your hands on a microscope and do a scrape ??
Il take a few pictures of the set up first and get the measurements, il take a few more recent pics of the fish, and go from there!
should have posted more this afternoon!
I am not sure what the total gallons are, its a bloody big pond though, it has not been done on the cheap!
The pump, Surface skimmer, filter box, UV light are all OASE as can be seen from the pictures. It has a flow rate of 266 Litres per minute and the pump is at the bottom of the pond which is 4 feet deep.
The pond is 6.8 metres across and 2.3 metres wide, over a 1/3 of it is 4feet deep and the other 2/3rds is over 2 feet deep.
It has one main waterfall direct from the filter box.
Not sure what else you may need to know about the pond itself???

Hi rich ,
your pond is around 2400 ish gallons , your pump 3500 gallons aprox per hour , how high is your waterfull , and what head is your pump rated to ?

The waterfall drops into a very small pool, about 2 feet, and then drops 10 inches over a rock into the pond. Im not sure about the pump and what head its rated at?
I have attached a picture of the general fish and pictures of 2 specifically.
These are 2 of the fish, they are currently quarantined in a tank, and i was treating them with Iodine, but fish one definately got worse!
Now that the other fish have started suffering i cant quarantine them all!
I have labelled all the fish by number and in order of post to make it easier to hopefully direct me toward treatment.
These first 2 i am not overly worried about, they are not particularly big fish or particularly colourful, but id rather treat them if possible, if treatment is never gona work, id rather them not suffer!
I Need Some Serious Assistance!!!!
