More Great Information on Plant Anacharis:

Building the Best Koi Pond by Harwood E Woodpecker

Ponds built for koi should be close to three feet or deeper to allow these larger fish enough space. In Japan, breeding koi has occupied a position between hobby and art form for more than two centuries A koi pond is different from a Water Garden because koi limit the amount of Plant Life available to be grown. Koi do not hibernate and even though they can live through the cold months in the Pacific Northwest, I try to make their winter more comfortable. Koi is a drum shaped Japanese fish which can make your Garden Pond come alive with its vibrant colors and playful behavior. If you are keeping koi then a smaller upper pool or plant protectors will be needed to keep them from eating the Anacharis. The rock and gravel Koi pond technology has been revolutionized with the Back Flushable Waterfall Filtration systems. Most modern Koi are considered special if they reach 1 meter in length, and average age from 40 to 60years. Hybrid Koi Pond Kits that will reshape the pond and waterfall construction industry.

Koi Carp

National interest for Koi in Japan increased tremendously when Emperor Hirohito was presented Koi for the Imperial Palace moat in 1914. Koi are omnivorous so they need both an amount of protein and carbohydrates in their diet. Koi come in many colors, varieties, and kinds, so it is likely that everyone in the world can find at least one type of Koi that would suit their likes. Scientists in Japan have developed a koi robot that swishes around in water just like the real, fishy thing. Koi are beautiful members of the carp family. Keeping Koi carp within a pond environment is a hobby area all of own but one worth including if you have the space and time to maintain one. Many people in Japan recognize the term Nishikigoi but may not be familiar with the term Koi. The majority of first time Koi owners fail because they get the idea that keeping Koi is easy in some way. Koi have been known to live for up to 200 years at a time, but generally the average lifespan of a healthy Koi is about 30 years. In Chinese culture, Koi ponds are said to bring good luck to their owners. Koi carp is an ornamental mutation of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), native from Asia, especially China and Japan.

Koi Pictures

Koi fish are claimed to have reached 2 meters (6 feet) in length, and the oldest to have reached the age of 230 years, passed down from generation to generation. My focus is on how to keep Koi fish happy and healthy. Some koi and goldfish foods are packed with inexpensive fillers that add no true nutritional value. These magnificent and often expensive fish have inspired a fanatical following, with collectors prepared to devote a lot of time and resources to creating a flourishing Koi pond. Part of it is that goldfish have a higher height to length ratio than koi. The pond pump must be the most reliable piece of koi keeping equipment. If it is necessary to handle koi, they should be netted with soft hand nets and lifted with wet hands. Most koi start out one color without whiskers, the colors will form by six to eight weeks, whiskers will follow. The markings and patterns of koi are their most important feature.

White spots on platy?

There are a couple white dots on my platy (it doesn't look like ich) and it's only on one female platy near the top part of her tail where it meets the body and also one near her side. The others are fine, and I think she's still acting normal.
10g, planted anacharis
2 female platies
1 male platy

What is wrong, what causes it?

Should I remove the platy?
Well, I don't think it's ich, because the last time I had ich I left the tank w/o fish for over 4 weeks, so the parasites should've died off. After I added the 3 fish, I didn't add anything else.

the white stuff is probably Ick is a protozoan parasite, and is extremely contagious. Ick will often appear when fish have been stressed by any number of environmental factors - new additions to the tank, rapid temperature swings, fluctuating water parameters, etc. My personal belief is that Ick is always present in an aquarium environment, but that healthy fish are able to fight it off until they become so stressed and worn out that they are no longer able do so.

Ick symptoms are fairly straight-forward and easy to recognize. Ick will manifest itself visibly as white dots on the fish (generally the spots will start on fins and move towards the body, but not always). The spots will be about the size and consistency as a small grain of salt. Fish will often "flash" or scratch themselves quickly and repeatedly on objects in the tank in an effort to dislodge the Ick cysts. Some fish will continue to act normally even when infected with Ick, but others will have clamped fins, color loss and lethargy.

Ick Treatment

Ick is highly contagious, therefore if your betta is in a community tank, remove and isolate him. If you can move him to a tank with a heater, this will make treatment easier and faster - warmer temperatures will cause the cysts to fall off faster, which is the only time that they are vulnerable to medications (when they are not attached to the fish). Turning the temperature up to 84-86 degrees F will not harm a betta for the short duration of Ick treatment, and will increase the speed at which the fish will be cured. Do not try to put a heater in a small isolation bowl/jar, as you may end up boiling your fish. If you can't heat the isolation container because it's too small, try to place the container in a warm area of the house and allow treatment to progress at its own pace.

There are a bunch of medications on the market that will successfully treat Ick, which you use is more a matter of how available it is for purchase than anything else. Most medications geared toward Ick treatment contain Malachite Green or copper. Commonly available brand names are: Malachite Green, Coppersafe, Quick Cure, Aquarisol, and Maracide. Pretty much any treatment that says it treats Ick probably will. Be aware the some of these medications are fairly harsh on plants and invertebrates, so make sure you do your homework before treating in a planted tank or one with snails/other invertebrates. Also be aware that strong copper-based medications can eventually lead to poisoning, so water should be changed frequently after treatment to remove the medications, unless you are treating in a container that gets 100% water changes.

Ick Prevention

Clean water, steady tank temperatures, and keeping your fish happy and stress-free fish are the easiest ways to prevent Ick. If you are adding new fish to a community tank, always quarantine them for at least 2 weeks to reduce the chances of the stressed-out new fish introducing diseases to your healthy fish. Always try to keep the tank temperature as stable as possible - heaters are the best way to do this if your ambient air temperature fluctuates a lot. I've personally found that rapid temperature changes are the biggest culprit when my fish come down with Ick - heat the tank if you're having severe temperature changes daily, and if your tank is too small to heat, buy a larger tank that can handle a heater. As with most of the other diseases, keeping up with your tank maintenance (ie keeping the water clean) is arguably the number one thing you can do to keep your fish happy and stress-free. Do not underestimate the power of clean water.

this also might be velvet but i seriously doubt it.The name sounds nice, but don't be fooled. Velvet is one of the more common diseases in aquarium fish, and can strike down every inhabitant in the tank before the hapless owner realizes what he or she is dealing with. Also known as Rust or Gold Dust disease, it is caused by one of several species of a tiny parasite known as Oödinium.

Oödinium is a dinoflagellate, a creature classified by some as a protozoan and by others as algae because it contains Chlorophyll. Oödinium doesn't care how it's classified, it's an equal opportunity parasite that stikes fresh and saltwater fish.
In freshwater fish Velvet is caused by either Oödinium pilularis or Oödinium limneticum. In marine fish Oödinium ocellatum causes the dreaded Coral Fish disease. All three species have symptoms and lifecycles similar to the well known parasite, Ich.

Oödinium finds a fish and adheres using flagellum, then forms rod pseudopodia which penetrate the skin and soft tissues of the gills. The pseudopods destroy the cells and feed on the nutrients inside. After feeding and maturing, the parasite drops off the fish and divides into dozens of cells that are released into the water to seek hosts. They must find a host within 24 hours, or die.
Oödinium produces white pustules on the fish that are much finer than
