I have a koi named Freddy, he's still very small for a koi, and so he lives in a 40 gallon tank right now. (He has plenty of room, if I put him in a pond at his size he'd get eaten!) Anyways, the tank is a new one. Of course, I let the tank age for three days before putting Freddy and his tank-mate (an algae-eater named Buddy that he's been with for over a year) in, and the pH, nitrates, nitrites and ammonia levels are right where they should be. The water is purified and has been treated for any remaining chlorine and chloramine. The gravel, fake plants and decorations are either from his old tank or were purchased new and soaked in boiling water for five minutes to kill any germs that may be lurking on them.
Okay, so here's the problem: Freddy has these yellowish spots on him, there are three of them, two on his sides and one on his tail. They resemble mold. He's not scratching against the decor or anything. Any thoughts?
Oh, if you're interested, here's a pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/coreinha/Freddy.jpg
