Good afternoon
After 13 yrs I had a fish die. 1 koi got dropsy, I took him out and placed him in a small cooler to treat him. He died the next day. I do not have a way of quarantine any other koi. Now I see several of my red koi with white spots. I trued to get close for the pic. I spoke to our neiborhood pond guy and he said it may be ich and advise me to use ich-x. I have made several changes to my pond. The filter media was falling apart (commercial floor pads) so I remove them and replaced them with matting material. I have a 3000 gal pond with. 7200 hog pump to a pre filter and a 100gallin skippy filter. My question is these spots ich or something else. All my water test came back with in parameters and I do weekly water changers

I'm sorry about the loss of your fish. I can't really tell much from these pictures, could you get some close ups? Are you talking about the white patches on the koi?
