Simply Koi and More Koi

Duncan, Free was/are my all time favourite band, here's Paul Rogers and Kossoff doing what Kossoff did best https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvEpqlbjcI4 Great to see these old bands again, needless to say that I was there, :D you do miss out on the sheer volume and chest-thumping intensity of seeing...

Hi Amanda, If you go on the `koi carp` magazine website, www.koimag.com ,in the for sale section, a chap has quite a nice selection of different colour chags for sale. I cant be more specfic with more details, as I wasnt paying much attention really, but I did think that they were some nice fish. Th...

You dont say whereabouts you are based, but how about trying `Tommy2ponds`, also a member on here. He is very good at treating koi, and doesn`t seem to mind a drive. I`d be tempted to give him PM, and see what he thinks.

Chris

Belated birthday greetings from here as well, hope you had a good day.


Chris

Very good, Mr Mankey. :lol: :lol: :lol: Obviously, there is no way that I`m admitting that I believed a single word you had written, but I might have done till I came to the "glowing eyes" bit. That was it, just ever so slightly over the top.( I did click the link to be sure though!!!! ) E...

I`ll join in with Duncan and Mr Manky in wishing a very Happy and Healthy New Year to all.

Hi Dave,

Sorry, I can`t help you on your `how to use` question, but, if you check out the `Chemical Factory` tag on the main page, you`ll see that Duncan sells MG as a powder (presumerably crystals).

If its good enough for Duncan, it`d do for me.

Hope that helps


Chris

Happy birthday gazza, hope you had a good day


( Blimey you`re getting old )


all the best

Hi Markey

Take a look at the earlier post from `Dandji -Trich` about three quarters of the way down the page. Duncan recommended doing a PP dip to solve the same sort of problem that you are having. The dosage rate is also there for you.

Good luck

Chris

Hi Jane, Must admit that I`ve never heard of the columbo stuff, so no advise on its use from me. MY treatment choice would be for chloromide T, if pp does nothing, as Duncan recommends in his article on trich, have you read it?? www.koiquest.co.uk/Trichodina.htm Hope you get it sorted Chris (another...

With regards to zinc in the blanketweed treatments, I`m sure that it was `mankysanky` that did research into the subject a year or might be two ago, and concluded that they were safe for us to use. Would it be an idea/useful if you had a word with him?

Hi Dan

Are you sure your test kits are ok and not out of date, because to me, your numbers just dont sound right. If it were me, I think I would try testing again with different test kits, or get another koi keeper pay a call to do the tests with their kits.

Hi Kim, To me, the first thing to look out for is the body, a new fish must have the right shape to it. If you find a decent body or at least one you are happy with, you then take a look at its spine. The clearer you can see the spine bump, the more certain you will be that the fish will grow big. I...

Peter, Did you not notice Tommy2ponds post, 6 back from this one? As he is renowned for being knowledgable on koi health matters, I think he did quite extensive testing of Flukesolve on behalf of the vet who formulated the product when it first became available, and was impressed. Perhaps he`ll come...
