FAQs

Koi diseases – recognize symptoms, reduce causes and stabilize hygiene with AnoKath

Which koi diseases are most common – and how can I recognize them?

The most common problems include parasite infestations (e.g., white spots/Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), bacterial infections (e.g., fin rot, ulcers), gill problems , and stress-related issues resulting from poor water quality. Typical early signs are: rubbing against surfaces , clamped fins, loss of appetite, rapid breathing, cloudy skin, redness, or frayed fins.
AnoKath advantage: With a fixed hygiene and equipment standard (nets, tubs, measuring cups, transport boxes) you reduce germ pressure and spread – this is exactly where AnoKath can support you as a consistent disinfection system.

My koi has white spots – what could this be and what should I do immediately?

White spots often look like "grains of salt" on the skin and fins. This is frequently due to a parasitic problem , which is exacerbated by stress (fluctuations in temperature, water parameters, new fish). Immediate action is recommended:

  • Check and stabilize water parameters (consistency is crucial)
  • Reduce stress (no major renovations, no rushing)
  • New arrivals must be strictly separated (quarantine).

AnoKath advantage: In parallel, you can use AnoKath to stop the chains of contact : Consistently disinfect nets, tubs, hoses, cover nets and work surfaces so that pathogens do not “spread” in the system.

Koi rubbing themselves against the bottom or edges – is this a sign of illness?

Yes, rubbing is a very common early sign – often associated with parasites, gill irritation, or unstable water parameters. It's important not just to "treat" the symptoms, but to find the underlying cause.

  • Keep water parameters/temperature stable
  • Check filter and pond hygiene (organic load, detritus, oxygen)
  • Consider new arrivals/transport stress as a trigger

AnoKath advantage: AnoKath is particularly helpful for professional pond handling: If you clean equipment hygienically after each use, you reduce the risk of chafing caused by introduced contaminants repeatedly starting anew.

What does fin rot mean in koi – and how do I get it under control?

Fin rot manifests as frayed, shortening fin edges , sometimes accompanied by redness or signs of inflammation. This is often an indication of excessive bacterial load , stress, or water quality problems. The following is recommended:

  • Stabilize water quality, reduce organic pollution
  • Reduce potential sources of injury in the pond (sharp edges, rough material)
  • Quarantine if several animals show abnormal development

AnoKath advantage: This is precisely where AnoKath offers added value: A consistent disinfection routine for nets, tubs, treatment/quarantine equipment reduces “reintroduction” and supports a more stable environment.

Koi are breathing rapidly or standing at the surface – what's the reason behind it?

This can indicate oxygen deficiency , gill stress (e.g., irritation/parasites), or poor water quality. Immediate measures:

  • Check/increase oxygen supply (ventilation, airflow)
  • Check water parameters and restore stability
  • If there is a significant deterioration, consult a professional quickly (fish-savvy veterinarian/pond expert).

AnoKath advantage: While you investigate the causes, with AnoKath you can at least control one major risk factor: hygiene at all work and contact points , so that no additional germs are introduced.

What is the best way to prevent koi diseases in the long term?

In the long run, the system always wins, not the individual action:

  • Quarantine for new arrivals (separate equipment)
  • stable water quality and consistent maintenance intervals
  • Measure feed accurately, reduce organic load
  • Do not let equipment “walk” between ponds/basins

AnoKath advantage: With AnoKath you can create a simple, sustainable hygiene concept: uniform disinfection for accessories, quarantine setup and maintenance areas – this reduces germ pressure, lowers stress in the stock and makes your pond routine more professional.
