The trials and tribulations of a Koi enthusiast. In these videos I hope to share some of my experiences in Koi keeping. From parasite infestations to new and exciting products I've purchased for my hobby.
Thank you for this video I found it very useful. It appears that some of my koi have a fungus infection. I have added acriflavin to my pond hopefully that might work if it’s not too late. I’ve have started to use medikoi health as an additional boost to their immune system and they are all eating well. 🙏Thanks again.
Drain the pond, saving as much water as you can. Do not disturb the silt or blanketweed in the process. Pressure wash all surfaces. Employ plenty of OASE phosphate binder (PhosLess) in your filter system/waterfall. Administer one preventative dose of CBA once water temperature is consistently 12C. Buy more PhosLess ready for replacement in 6 months time.
Could I just take this opportunity to mention that the Kusuri Anti Bac spray is a terrible design. Unless the bottle is 80% full, you have to change position to gef it to spray.
Hi ya, I have flashing koi with red patches and one has red pectoral fins I’ve done scraped found nothing ! My water is good I’m assuming it could be bacterial? Is the stuff your using on the scales tamodine? 👍🏻
Koi clays keep my phosphates in check. Aluminium silicate sulphate in certain clays bonds with phosphorus and acts as a flocculant. Blanket Answer seems to work through enzymes and minerals, so important to apply whilst growing heavily. I feel the best products to use in the winter are Envii Winter Treatment, Koi Clay and a mighty protein skimmer. Reducing dissolved organics and combining phosphorus to clear water is key at the very end of Autumn (as plants stop or die back). Worth checking ammonia also, as string algae will feed directly off it. That's why I use winter pond bacteria in below 10 and stop feeding.
Get rid of herpes virus using an herbal medicine from Dr. Gbenga, I have been cured of herpes virus since January 12, 2020 using this herbal mixture from Dr. Gbenga.
I’ve had this kit for few years it now comes with a separate pH tester I’m not sure if that was an additional charge or the company decided to test pH a different way. I got the aquarium kit AQ2 - K. I have used it a handful of times and to be honest it’s kind of hard to get in the rhythm, you definitely have to keep the quick reference guide on how to perform each task because it’s easily forgotten by the time I test again. But it works well for me because I’m slightly color blind I think and don’t care for the guesstimation of the other kits in judging the variation of the color. This kit gives me a definitive reading so I don’t have to compare Colors as some look different in the house versus outside light.

Hi - quick random question - do you know where I could source replacement pipe nuts and rubber seals from? Try as I may I can't find anyone that stocks them. Thanks!
Next time you try this, be patient, if you leave it a couple of weeks the algae will die right down, turn black, the little bubbles will help lift the black slime, it will then float and get captured in a skimmer or you can net it, no need to scrub the pond , this will happen in you filters too. 👍
It says on the CBA container that it needs a temperature of 10c is really needed to be effective. Should treat it early before the temperature drops. It has always worked for me if used as advised.
Hoping for some help from my RU-vid friends here..I have a 1500 gal outdoor koi pond with frequently tested good water quality, gravity filter, uv light, skimmer, waterfall, plants, the whole works. Got 5 7r old koi and recently we recently added 4 new smaller koi. 2 of the 4 since died, 1 of my large koi has weird red stuff on his back side and back tail fin, and 1 other large koi I found dead inskimmer this am, i notice he is ore grey/white than blue/orange like he was before - no parasites on outside or anything..I was told by local to treat with Melafix and pimafix which we started 2 days ago. I have no idea if that killed the other koi today or if it was some other disease that is spreading. Any guidance? Should we add a parasite treatment and if so, thoughts on which?? Hoping for RU-vid help here..thx!
Great video mate! I have recently done similar treatment to my showa with raised scales and seems to be like kind a bacteria infections. Real annoying but the spray works after couple days without needing injections. It is winter in down under and I should have PP the whole pond prior to weather. I have just subscribed to look forward for more future videos of yours, cheers!
From what I learned if you really want to get ready your FLUTES get song paziquantel. I couldn't find it at any stores so I had to get it online through Walmart under the brand PraztPro for about $30! This is the only thing that is supposed to work.
I tryed clover leaf first time last wk wudnt use it again does kill blanket weed but makes water rubbish go bk to goodbye blanket weed way better doesn't make water horrible
Hydrogen Peroxide kills off hair algae. To outcompete the algae with plants would take up half the pool in plants..or separate plant pond as a filter. Whatever happened to sand filters for Koi? Or small gravels in those filters? Seems basic..just use a good backflush system.
It's still surprise me just how a number of people don't know about Womezon Remedy although lots of people treat their bacterial vaginosis issue naturally using it. Thanks to my buddy who told me about this. I have treat my bacterial vaginosis issue naturally .
I would not be so keen to drain my pond and clean it like this. I have never drained a pond down and topped it back up with fresh water. You are removing all of the beneficial bacteria. There are a lot of chemicals going in to this pond. I agree with those that are saying a lack of plants is a big issue, this was my first thought. I am more a fan of ecosystem ponds as opposed to these sterile koi ponds. I like to see dragonflies, frogs, wildlife. I think direct sunlight caused by a lack of shading is a contributory factor. Some lilies to cover the surface and maybe even a vine growing over a frame to cast a shadow over some of the pond would make a big difference.
cleaning everything off the side has a detrimental effect on the eco system as it holds benficial bacteria, another cause of your blanketweed issue is the media your using, you would be much better of using a media that can use aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria, as this will help lower your nitrate levels, as blanketweed needs nitrate and phosphate to grow minimise either of these and you wont have blanketweed. having said that lowering nitrate is easier than lowering phosphate. adding certain plants will help massively, or setup an anoxic filter. the science behind it is quite complex but the setup if fairly simple and the effects are mind blowing
Great video, I treated my pond with pp for the first time monday, it was nerve racking to say the least but all seemed to go ok. I have to treat with fluke m tomorrow (thurs) so I'm glad to have watched your experience with this and it was very informative. Well done
Very informative video, one of my koi has the same fin problem, i am very new to this hobby so learning, ironically picked up my new microscope this morning, I will order the malachite green, where do you get the spray from, cant quite read the box. Hope you can help.
Hello I have a pond question I have made a video in the following link please watch it and let me know your thoughts thanks. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-alMRMubWd2A.html
Hello, I have a question: some of my fish are sick, and I got the sick fish out and put them in a different pond. And I'm gonna get my other koi out of my aquarium but is that safe with the same water without the fish? I'd like a reply
You really need to be careful how you inject pectoral fins you could end up paralyzing the fin. You need to stop messing around with your fish so much, all you keep doing is weakening your fish's immune system, when are you going to realise a healthy fish will normally heal without interference. So far as messing with your koi so much i have never ever seen anybody worse than yourself. I'm sorry if this offends you but i have never seen so much interference in all my born days. I wish i knew who the vet is providing you with Ms222 and all the prescription meds as i would give them a piece of my mind.
