Simply Koi and More Koi

Kim we to was amazed how this went from a happy grow on setup to a witches cauldron, I think as Koi keepers we do our utmost to keep things Bio secure, lessons I have learnt along the way through reading places like KQ and from my experience with a number of people when being involved at koi shows a...

All sorted Kim, really was a head banger getting this resolved. Lost 8 in total but at least the rest are now looking good and growing.

We took the showers down last week and there was no muck laying inside showers, bhm was DAZ white, so obviously the CT had given it a blitz.

Morning Kim, Well the Koi are recovering now, a couple days after that last post we had one Koi take a sharp downturn and it really did leave us scratching our heads, I contacted Paula Reynolds as it got so close to calling in the Experts, but we stayed with it and introduced another 3 day course of...

Peter I cant argue but I am riveted to seat reading and looking to understand more. Maybe you, Dunc or Syd can give a little more insight into Antibiotics and a better overview insight as to if certain do better than others for different things. I know after chatting to Paula last week on a bacteria...

I think it...

Gents, I purchased a Koi back in July 2010 it was a male Sekaguchi Showa at 24cm.

Ammonia 0.2 Ph 8.0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10 As you say the filters are going to be knocked back so a watchful eye is going to be applied until we are 100% satisfied, still not sure what created such a stuborn bacterial infestation a...

Just over three weeks ago a good friend who is currently looking after my main stock of koi while my pond is being built gave me the heads up that our grow on experiement of a batch of koi had issues. This was a QT of just over 350 gallons, it had a number of mixed koi in it ranging from 10cm - 15cm...

Happy days !!

Cheers Dunc, i'll do just that then have to make sure missus is out at the time not sure she will be too please with her range being used as a media steralizer

With old K1 that has been sitting in a vacum pack for 12 months would a strong pp or CT dose be ok?

Thanks Duncan.

Morning guys after a bit of advice. Recently we have had a severe bacterial infection in some small koi that we was looking to grow on. Been heavy on the salt & CT and heat to overcome the issue. Now it is getting close to the point that my pond at my house will be up and running and i was looki...

Hopefully Dunc the judge will drag her over the coals this time, mad bitch needs to get a friggin life.

Still like to get some "topical" but just for future knowing its like rocking horse poo getting hold of it.
