Simply Koi and More Koi

Thanks Duncan i shall order those things.

How is this trial going?

Im looking at the list of chemicals in the chemical factory and notice a few different topical treatments now i don't know which ones i should have or should i have each one also there are a few chemicals that I'm not sure what they are or when i would use them. Could someone tell me what i would us...

yes that needs attention now you may need tp pull a scale or two by the looks dunc I thought as much so yesterday with the help of oil of cloves i had a better look and oh my god this poor fish is a much poorer state than it first seemed see picture below. This is my second year in koi keeping the ...

Thanks for the heads up being fairly new to koi keeping every where I've been they say peroxide, I never knew what it can do.

Hi Duncan my water has gone crystal clear now is that correct? All the fish are swimming around and looking for food the raised scales i mentioned in a previous post seem to gone back down and the stressed koi is looking good now, but I'm still seeing flashing from a number of koi, is this normal st...

Ok Duncan thanks for that and understood. The pond isn't looking so green today and while when i approached the pond today most of them were just sitting on the bottom but when they saw me all but one started swimming around so while i think they are not enjoying it i think they are coping. The one ...

ok lets get my calendar correct, i put first dose in yesterday when would i do a partial water change ( and would this be a large water change or not). Are you saying do the second treatment 7 days after I've done my partial water change or 7 days after i first put the first dose in. Thanks for your...

Yes they have started to slow down already with 4 or 5 of them just sitting on the bottom, is this normal?

Hi Duncan I have put the fmg at the stated dose, How long does the water stay green? So after 5 days do a partial water change and repeat treatment. Can i use the malachite that i have already mixed up as i only used 190mls of the 500mls made up or do i need to remix some fresh again? I took a pictu...

I have got both of those as I got some from you the back end of last year when stocking my treatment cupboard. Not sure how to apply and what quantities for 3500 gallons especially the malachite green as it came in powder/ crystal form, could you advise as I don't want to overdose or add it incorrec...

Hello spags, Where are you located ? There maybe someone local who could give a hand / advice with the recommended treatments, I'm in Shropshire. I wouldn't be panicking though looking at the picture you've posted and from what you've described. Hi mate, I live in Stevenage, hertfordshire. I feel a...

Hi Duncan my nitrite today is still too high but has dropped so it's going in the right direction currently it's 0.11. I scraped two fish today and found chilodonella on one fish and Trichodina on the other. Both had very few numbers on them. I have a 3500 gallon pond including filters what would yo...

Thanks for replying Duncan my name is Peter and I'm from hertfordshire. I have held off from putting anything in the pond. While there is a couple of stripes of hi in its tail most of it is not and looks like blood. I've stopped feeding and done a water change as you suggested the koi in the picture...

Hi everyone, my koi don't seem to be doing too good and i don't know what the problem is. Its been going on for a week now and that is the koi are doing a lot of flashing one day then not so much the next. My latest water test using Hanna equipment and reagents are Ammonia= 0.07 Nitrite= 0.15 Nitrat...
