Hi all

First, hope I post on the right place.

Then the main problem, got home this afternoon and saw my one koi is just sitting next to a plastic plant pot.

Then went over to him and put my hand in and he swims away, but notice that one eye is white and other one is black, I know my koi's and I know something is wrong, got a fish net and scooped him easy, now started to worry, when looking at him the eyes look torn and blood from one, looks like a abrasion on eyes, he is about 30cm, the other koi's are fine.

Its not pop eye or cloudy eyes.

Could he been in a fight?
Could it be the flower pots and bog wood, (If one eye was damage it could have been but both?)

Got some apple snails in there and gold wonder killifish
And the strange looking high back black comets x2

All of them in there from sept 2009 but gold wonder killifish 2 days ago
Could it be them?, don't think so they stay at the surface

What can I do, it's my baby
must I use salt or treat the whole pond with Waterlife myxazin?

Need help!!

Hi, i recommend you just keep an eye on him. With a damaged eye there is not much you can do. You cant put anything on it...so just leave it.

I doubt if any of the other fish had anything todo with it. Chances are that it hurt itself against something in the pond.

How big is your pond? Small koi tend to be very jumpy and when they get scared they swim or jump in any direction at top speed and they tend to hurt themselfs when that happens.

Thanks Wayne

Pond is about 1500L

Could not leave him in the pond, removed all my plants in my planted aquarium is about 200L and put him in there and treated with Waterlife myxazin to prevent fungus or any other problems.

If it is a physical injury, there is nothing you can do as Wayne said.

It can be parasites or a bacterial infection. I would do a scrape to exclude this parasite possibility.

I would not have treated in the hope that it might fix the problem. Treatment (shotgun appraoch) only put the fish under unnecessary stress.
