There is one kind of algae I call
"Green paint dot"
that nothing eats until you scrape it off for them.

Fortunately it grows very slowly.

We've been lucky here at Uncle Ned's. We haven't seen the koi virus for several years. It is a really gory disease, and it is contagious, looks like your fish are rotting to pieces.

your pH sould be 7.4 - 8.6
temperature 78 - 80 degrees F.

the best thing to do is add coral base rock
or dolomite gravel
maybe a half pound per gallon

must be a softwater species

At least use the salt (table salt, sodium chloride)
2 teaspoons per gallon

that much salt will do no harm
in particular on a Tanganyikan

maybe your water is too hard

try rain water
