Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and unfortunately my first post is not a happy one. My parents have a pond with 3 larger koi (7-9lb) and one goldfish (around 2lb). The pond is stricken with a parasite (I have seen one worm on one of the fish) and perhaps more that is causing lesions on the fish as well as inappetance and lethargy.
I am not an expert but these fish are important to me as some of them have been in the family for close to a decade. I've done my best to help them out with cleaning and covering the wounds as well as treating the pond, however, my efforts are not matched by the rest of the family. I also don't live in the same town as my folks and can't possibly visit as often as I would need to in order to properly address the situation. I think the fish would be better off with an expert.
Do any of you know of a fish lover who has the space, resources and time to adopt my scaley friends? I can't bear to see them sick.
Thanks so much for reading; this is really wearing on my soul.
