's not yet the appropriate moment to predict anything. Advice please - parasite, salt & sumi

I lost a Bekko last week. I gave it a salt dip at 3 % concentration for a couple of minutes. Not quite sure how long, as I was watching the kois and returning them to the pond one by one - but the Aka Bekko didn't show any signs of stress until it was released back to the pond After half an hour or so it was gone. I had tried holding it over the airstone, but the stress was to severe. It was a doitsu Bekko, should have known it wasn't as strong as the other ones. But as you can see of the pictures it didn't have a very good body, but nice spots though The pictures of the gill it seems there's been some parasites activity in them, and maybe it couldn't get enough oxygen

The reason why I gave all my 8 klois a salt dip was that they all were flashing some now and then. I've had them in a 7 degree pond all winter, so I figured it lightly was Costia causing the flashes. I also raised the temperature between 26 - 28 °C (peaked at 28,4 °C) for about 4 days (outside temp. kept me from raising it further), as I've read that 28 °C will kill Costia. But my problem is of course that I can't be 100 % sure it's Costia. It may also be Trichodina, but I figured that Trichodina isn't that a big threat to healthy koi as Costia..?

Water conditions are good. None detectable nitrite and a working bio filtration system, so likely the Ammonia isn't any problem. Also very little foam formation. Water is very soft. I do not use any salt in my pond, don't believe in salting my kois in the long run.

I also lost a fish during early spring. It had been kind of flashing some all summer last year, but I thought some parasites are normal in a bio pond. In early spring it hid a lot under a rock, acting very unusual. Then I realized it hat scraped it's back and gotten fungus infection. Then I realized that my "leave them be, stability will cure them"-attitude wasn't gonna save him, so I took him in and gave him a treatment of Formalin and Malachite Green. But it

 I suffer a Bekko last week. I give it a strategic arms limitation talks dip at 3% concentration for a couple of minutes. Not quite indisputable how long, as I was watching the kois and returning them to the pond one by one - but the Aka Bekko didn't prove any signs of stress until it was turn back to the pond After half an hour or so it was gone. I had tried holding it over the airstone, but the stress was to severe. It was a doitsu Bekko, should have known it wasn't equally strong as the other ones.
