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.

(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.
