Thanks 🙏 for the video, just join the channel after watching the koi talk which I really enjoy together with the fantastic koi magazine I have ever month. Very very interesting 🤔 I have never heard of that before but I am new at it all. It’s nice to have someone with you skills and knowledge in the koi trade helping us all. Because there is a lot to learning and a hell of a lot of information to take in to keeping your koi happy and healthy 👍👍
Hi quick question this sleepy disease thing has killed half my fish not happy some idiot added a fish as a surprise and now had to go through that and with the 1s that recovered when would it be safe to add new fish
I’ve got a new koi just “die” on me. 1 of 2, is there a chance of recovery if it’s sleeping sickness? Literally bought it 3 hours ago it still in bag in mixed water.
Hello good afternoon, I had this experience with 3 fish that arrived from Japan, I put them in quarantine but the temperature dropped a lot and they developed symptoms. They turned to the side, red fins , pink body, they then got fungus and parasites, it's been 2 months and I've had several treatments. Now I still have them in a separate tank they are noticeably better but I'm afraid to put them in the main lake, what do you think about that?
Hi i have a new koi that hides and lies on its side on the bottom of the pond, is this sleeping disease or something else, i understand this might be difficult to diagnose. it will swim off if prompted
Possibly not sleeping disease but something else viral (like it having flu) or severe stress. Have you checked it for parasites? If you have and there aren't any adding salt to the pond at around 0.4-0.5% for a couple of weeks might help.
I've only heard reference to sleeping disease a couple of times in the past but had no idea what it was. Thank you for your clear and simple explanation and treatment recommendation.
@@KoiWholesale Hey man!! So, i Hitted this Nasty thing.. & i could use some help with it. I already contacted a Koi Doctor & he gave me a Natural product called Anti-Mix from The koi Doctor Maarten Lammens. Should work effectively he says. Now, what i'm mainly wondering about isss..Some of my koi have been on & off on the ground for over a month or 2. Yea could deffinitly be due to the Weather (Living in Belgium & we had the roughest winter in 10 years+) But, none of the Koi that are affected have this PINK colouring you talk about. Which REALLY makes me doubt if it actually is the SLeepy dissease. Could you perhaps give me some more insight on this regarding your opinion. Kind Regards, Benjamin
Ricky your knoweledge is invaluble , i have some fry i spawned myself last year and they have been great up untill i introduced some larger 2 yr old and just like you said the young ones clamed up mucused up and just looked awfull . Luckily i had a seperate 500g tank set up so i moved them to that in pea green water and added salt to 0.4 they have now completeley turned around and are looking great again . Many thanks for this info and all the other information videos you do. Top Man 👍👍👍👍👍
Ricky-- i'm on the back side of a current situation. Preliminary lab results is suggesting that my pond has CEV... Added fish from a trusted dealer to my pond (because they were larger and my QT was occupied -- yes I know), 4 days later entire pond (had not added anything in the past 4-5 years). Every symptom imaginable for every fish except the 3 new additions. I'm a "certified koi keeper" and "certified show water quality" person. Of course most of the information available is about juvenile fish... in your experience is it possible for mature fish to become infected by new additions? I'll know more when I get lab results back. I've only lost one but there are 3 additional ones that are still attempting to recover (all others appear back to normal). About a month in from the addition, scrapes and gill snips showed nothing to elicit this type of reaction. I think it may be time for hobbyists to become more aware of CEV?!?!
Yes mature fish can if they haven’t already been exposed and have any immunity. Normally if older fish are exposed later in life it can hit them a lot harder.
Experienced sleeping sickness with some home bred koi. Raised them in isolation till 1.5" long then connected their pond to main pond filter system. 48hrs later they are all lifeless and floating around on their sides in the water current. Isolated them again and salted, all recovered in around 2 weeks so that was 2 weeks growth completely lost, but what a learning curve.

@@KoiWholesale keep doing what you're doing buddy 👏🏼 👍🏼
Thank You
You're welcome

This carp Edema virus looks way worse than the the “carpe diem” issue we usually have.

They first need to all be back on top condition and then it should be safe.

That’s not sleeping sickness. Fish either went into shock or was in bad health before being packed.

Does sleeping sickness/virus only live in fish or can it linger and live in the pond system aswell?
It won’t live in the system.

@@KoiWholesale thanks for your help...
Out of interest how long would stress last for ?

No worries, I’m glad you’re now enlightened.

Thank you so much for making this video we have a few new koi that have had this strange symptom and now able to treat 🙏🏻
Great to hear, thanks for watching.

It does come hard and fast but when you know how to deal with it the damage can be minimised.
Absolutely awesome video Ricky mate 💯👌👍👍👍

Have you got a picture and is it the only fish in the pond with an issue?
thankyou for the info, you cant get too much knowledge in this hobby and its great to have people like you to explain to us in terms we can understand and not scratch our heads helpless keep up the great work .
You’re right you never stop learning.
Does it ever show as a fish laying dormant at bottom and not feeding
Yes it can and will often start that way.
Very interesting, cheers 👍
👍
Great content!!
Thank you.
