OK Dude, you REALLY can't keep 2 koi in a 55 gallon tank,,,,,,thats too
hilarious, kind of like keeping 2 Hippos in a bathtub. Rule of thumb for Koi
(if memory serves) is 1000 Gallons for the first koi and 100 gallons each
for every Koi after that. You might get away with 5 goldfish in that tank,
certainly not koi, they need clean ammonia free water, something that your
tank will never be able to give them. Either dig yourself a pond for them or
exchange them for something a tad more suitable to your tank size. They will
slowly die if you leave them in current quarters!

You forgot to add Rec.ponds to your list of crossposts!
Go ask there for more specific answers, sounds like it could be
ammonia poisoning, you either have too high a fishload or your
filtration is not keeping up with the cycle. HTH

Okay, one of my koi's seems to be getting sick. I noticed just today
that on his belly he's got reddish/brownish lumps. Normally it's flat
white. What could this be?
TIA.

It's a 55 gallon tank with only two fish in it that has been running for
over 4 months.
