Has your water temperature been higher and gone down to 13c as i know we have had a few colder days over the east side .

If all the water tests are ok I would be thinking about a scrape

Which flukes did you find skin or gill ?

What did you use to treat them and have you re-scraped a few fish after you had treated ?

Sorry for the twenty questions lol

Hi I would scrape four koi to see if there clear if you only scraped one that is not a good test as parasites jump from host to host.Also fluke-m has been showing mixed results of late.
