Bacterial infections and ulcerations are primarily secondary infections resulting from external damage caused by parasites and physical damage caused by improper netting or rough handling. Most disease problems or issues can be linked back to poor water quality or the introduction of sick or stressed fish. Before adding any treatment to your pond or holding system, make sure and verify all water parameters and rectify any issues before treating.
