Recommendations for treating your Koi

Always leave plenty of time to observe the fish after adding the treatment in case they react badly.

Switch off UV lights during the treatment period. UV light can break down the active ingredients and reduce the contact time thus making the treatment less effective. UV light can sometimes react with the chemicals in the treatment to produce toxic by-products.

Remove any absorbent or adsorbent filter materials such as zeolite or carbon during treatment as these can remove the active ingredients from the water.

Before adding a treatment try to make sure you have made a correct diagnosis of the problem and have chosen the most suitable treatment. If possible have the fish examined by an expert who can carry out some tests and microscopic examinations to determine the best treatment for the problem.

Test the water regularly for pH and Nitrite. Keep a record of the results so that you can be alerted to any change which may occur. If you use salt, also use a salt tester to make sure you do not use too much.

Also keep a record of when you treat and with what in case you need to take further advice.

If the treatment does not have the desired effect after 2 courses consult a veterinary surgeon who knows about the fish and who can provide stronger, prescription only treatments should they be indicated.

If your vet doesn't know much about fish make sure he or she finds out so that they can provide the service you require.
