Fish Pox |
 |
Symptoms:
Fish pox is characterized by white, pink or gray wax-like growths on the skin and fins. |
 |
Cause:
Viral infection that occurs most often in cool and cold-water fish, particularly Koi. These symptoms seem to progress to a point, then gradually subside, lasting for 7-10 days. This disease can become chronic, with the symptoms recurring regularly. |
 |
Treatment:
There is no known treatment. Fortunately, however, the illness is not usually fatal and does not appear to be contagious. The healing process can be speeded up by increasing water quality and the temperature. |
