[Ponds-Koi] Dorsal Fin SOS
I am no expert…but, it sounds very similar to the koi pox I had about a month ago. One of my koi had just spots on the fins that looked like wax drops, another had larger sections that looked like a thickening of the fin a little bit pinky colored. It appears to be gone now. Lori

Hello, We have a Kumonryu that appears to be healthy. Schooling with all the others and eating well. I noticed this morning a flesh colored marking at the front of the dorsal fin where it meets the body. In looking at videos of anchor worm it does not appear to look like these. Anchor worm appears to be thin and somewhat trasparent at least on the video I watched. I have never observed it in real life. I know it is difficult but any thoughts on what I may be seeing. All water levels are good. ph 8.0 ammonia and nitirte 0 nitrate 5.0 salt .06 kh 89.5 I treated with baking soda gh 125.3 phosphates .5. The marking appears to have some mass but not much and also appears to be in the tissue of the dorsal fin. Thanks for any help. Zach
