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. How Does It Work? Pond Salt improves gill function and protects against common pond toxins. Most common diseases and infections can be cured and prevented simply by adding pond salt. Pond Salt will also help in the fight against string algae by softening the water! <ul aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Designed to replace electrolytes such as magnesium, calcium and potassium maintaing fish health after being exposed to stress. </li> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">An all natural sea salt that replaces electolytes which fish lose in times of stress, including potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium.

TJB-INC TESTING TIP: <ul aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> Because high levels of salt in your pond water will injure plants and fish, be sure to have some sort of salinity measuring device before adding any salt. Then only add small amounts until the meter reads 0.25% mamimum.  This level is high enough to kill 99% of the harmful parisites & bacteria in your pond but not kill all of your pond plants.  For more information about proper salt treatments, read Dr. Eric Johnson DVM's book: <a aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" target="”_top”" href="http://www.nexternal.com/tjb/Product677">KOI HEATH & DISEASE</a> available by clicking on the books title (this will link you to it on this site or order it at the bottom of the page.)</li> </ul> TJB-INC Treatment Reccommendations: <ul aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Salt at 0.1% Solution: Use this treatment primarily as a stress reducer.  As a stress reducer, it can be used after major emergency water changes or when handling the fish during pond clean-out.  It will also slow down any attacking pathogens, as well as promote more slime coat production, which is vital to the integrity of the fish's immune system.  Overcrowding and overfeeding can lead to toxic levels of nitrite.(see artical below)  Pond salt will temporarily block the toxic effects of nitrite while corrective action is taken.</li> <li aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Salt at 0.2% Solution: This treatment is also utilized as a stress reducer, slime coat enhancer and will improve fish gill function.  During periods of stress and disease, healthy gill function is disturbed causing "osmotic shock".  This can cause a loss of electrolyte (magneseium, calcium, sodium, chloride and potassium) in the body fluids of pond fish, as well as increase the levels of carbon dioxide and ammonium leading to serious health problems.  Pond salt provides the essential electrolytes fish need to maintain good health.  In addition, a 0.2% salt solution will do a slightly better job a killing certain protozoan parasites, such as Trichodina, Ich, and Chilodonella.  However, don't use as the sole means for curing these parasites.</li> </ul> Nitrate Poisoning <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Description: Nitrite poisoning follows closely on the heels of ammonia as a major killer of aquarium fish. Just when you think you are home free after losing half your fish to ammonia poisoning, the nitrites rise and put your fish at risk again. Anytime ammonia levels are elevated, elevated nitrites will soon follow. To avoid nitrite poisoning, test when setting up a new tank, when adding new fish to established an tank, when the filter fails due to power or mechanical failure, and when medicating sick fish.</div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> </div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Symptoms: </div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Different species of fish tolerate differing levels of nitrite. Some fish may simply be listless, while others may die suddenly with no obvious signs of illness. Common symptoms include gasping at the surface of the water, hanging near water outlets, rapid gill movement, and a change in gill color from tan to dark brown.</div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Fish that are exposed to even low levels of nitrite for long periods of time suffer damage to their immune system and are prone to secondary diseases, such as ich, fin rot, and bacterial infections. As methemoglobin levels increase damage occurs to the liver, gills and blood cells. If untreated, affected fish eventually die from lack of oxygen, and/or secondary diseases.</div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> </div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Treatment: </div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Nitrite is lethal at much lower levels than ammonia. Therefore it is critical to continue daily testing and treatment until the nitrite falls to zero.</div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0"> </div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Prevention: </div> <div aria-level="0" class="pDsc" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Feed fish small quantities of foods, and remove any food not consumed in five minutes. Clean the pond yearly, taking care to remove an dead plants or other debris. Perform a partial water change at least every other week, more often in small heavily stocked ponds. Always test the water for nitrite after an ammonia spike has occured as there will be a nitrite increase later.
