Not stricting fishing per se, but...

I've just noticed that my biggest pond fish has a totally messed up eye. It looks like some kind of fungal growth.

Is there anything I can do for the fish (even some Klinik, maybe?) and is there anything I can do for the pond itself?

Serious answers, please. I'm really concerned about this.

Cheers,

Elton

A temporary fix might be to bath the fish in a salty bath but be very carful if its to strong you might kill it DON'T LEAVE IT ALONE.

I haven't got my books on me so I can't give specific advice

Personally I'd go to your local aquarium/pond shop and get some anti fungal treatment for the fish and the pond. If its an expensive koi you might consider calling a fish vet (they do exist).

Basically the infection will be an opportunistic infection following a previous injury of infection. So make sure it is just an accidental injury and not a more obvious symptom of a more serious water or parasite problem

Ok have got some links...

and fit (if its a large pond) uv filters ,these do kill about everything ,provided you have a little more uv than needed (the tubes dont provide the neccessary output as stated WHEN NEW as they age) perhapps if its a large fish then cotton wool dipped in saline would be safer than a complete dip ,as stated the fish vets are a thought but be prepared for a large bill . hope freddy gets better
p.s if you use carbon as a filter medium ,change it often its been found that it stores? the polutants (as it should) but does start realeasing it when exhausted.
