Simply Koi and More Koi

Hi.

Is this still in stock please?

Thanks.

Hi. It's a funny old game this. Some things seem to work for some, and not for others. So I'll share my two-penneth. They may seem rather unorthodox - and I'm open to being corrected - but they seem to have worked for me, and I have a bit of confidence in them. Koi Clear Gel: Got a tub in the fridge...

Thanks Duncan

Hi. I've just treated for gill flukes with flubenol 5% at 1gm/89gals. Do I need to repeat the treatment for gill flukes please? If so, at what interval. I have 24/7 trickle going in - do I need to stop this or can I keep it going. And do I need to wait for a period before dumping the filters and top...

Thanks Syd, thanks Gazza.

It all went ......swimmingly! And you're right gazza - some definitely succumb much quicker than others.

Another couple of questions if I may Duncan.

Duncan's book talks about 2% malachite green. Is this in the 'over the counter' liquid form, or is this referring to a crysta...

Thanks amanda. Well, I took positive action today. One on my kohaku was back on his side this morning - all morning - not good. So I managed to get a water meter, emptied the pond into paddling pool and transferred fish. Drained pond and gave a thourough cleaning. Metered paddling pool water back in...

I pp'd the fish in a paddling pool with known gallonage, and nuked the pond separately

Hi. Didn't want to hijack amandas post, so started my own. Seems we're in the same boat. I have exactly the same problems. Fish not right since spring. Found and treated flukes. Fish still not right. Scraped and scraped and found nothing. Then....costia, so pp'd the pond. Still not much change. One ...

Hi. I wonder if I could ask a couple of questions. I'm a bit ignorant about filtration. I've had my pond a couple of years now, 1000 gallons. I have two pump fed 55gal barrel filters in series with k1, flowing into my old box filter which has foam layers with alfagrog underneath. I want to try and o...
