EcoRx™ fish medications have been developed under the
guidance of top koi vet Dr. Erik Johnson DVM.
Instead of trying to catch your fish to medicate them,
treat the water they live in with our EcoRx Fish
Treatments.
NOTE: If you need more help on fish related problems
and health, purchase Dr. Johnson's "Koi Health &
Disease" book in our Book & DVD
section.
*** FISH MEDICATIONS ***
(Products available at bottom of this
page)
Regular
observation of your koi and goldfish will allow problems such as
parasites and bacterial or fungal diseases to be detected
early.
Be familiar
with your koi or goldfish's normal shape, size and color as well as
swimming habits.
A change in
these factors may signal a problem. The problem must be identified
in order to know the steps to take for treatment with the proper
medication. Treating for a parasite, bacteria or fungus
requires different medication.
Every pond
owner with fish, at some time or another, will probably have to
medicate their pond.
Though Koi are extremely hardy, it is very important to keep a
watch on their environment to keep them at their healthiest.
Attention
should be paid to the quality of water and balance of the pond
(i.e. pH levels etc.). However, if problems do occur, the first
step is to remove the individual fish or decide whether to treat
the entire pond.
It is
sometimes difficult to be aware of a problem with a koi or goldfish
until its too late.
Be aware of
your Koi's behavior patterns so changes can be detected early. A
change in your Koi's behavior is usually the first sign that that
your Koi are stressed or ill and may need some type of koi medicine
or treatment.
