Salt in a Koi Pond - Benefits and How to Use Salt Safely 

Awesome information, the most thorough explanation of salt usage out there. Thank you for that!

So clear and helpful! Thank you!

Quick and easy explanation

Thank you for making such a great video! One of my koi looked exactly like the one you began your video with! A pinkish patch on its side about the same size. Used salt and the pink mark is now totally gone. Knowing products NOT to use while treating with salt was a great addition to this video as you probably have saved many koi’s lives by educating us on what NOT TO DO! Again, thank you for this wonderful video!

Thank you for your very informative video. Loved it.

What a fantastic video..... theres some really handy info there...... thanks for sharing 👌🐟👍

Great video, very well explained 😊

I just used salt for first time... same brand... cheap! And my sluggish koi, sometimes flashing and sometimes jumping... got better fast! That was a couple of days ago. Not sure what happened. Brought in some plecos to help with algae after raccoons got my trapdoor snails. So maybe new, online species brought in problems. Seeing issues again. So I just added new water with chlorine eliminator, will throw in some other good stuff like Stress Coat. And... a wee bit more salt. Going lightly until I get my salt meter. Thanks for short, informative video-which also provided the place to buy cheap salt, and the actual brand! Morton’s blue bag: Pure & Natural!

I have a softener water system around the house which using mort salt, so when I have a pond do I need to add more salt to it? thanks

Hi, does the same apply to gold fish and Shubunkins?

Thank you Sir First time buying 2 koi fish Put it in a pot...I want to take care of them...

After putting salt, when should we change water again? Please advice

My koi fish is so wild swim faster then later just steady in one corner good I watch your video I have aquarium and all 8 koi fish but I'm scared to put sea salt into my aquarium

3 pounds per 100 gallons?..I never would have guessed that much. Very good info. Would magnesium salts work even better? With less?

do you add the salt after putting the fish into the quarantine tank or can you "pre-salt" the water and put fish into the salted water?

i have a few sick koi. They are new from another pond. i will use aquarium salt bath for them tomorrow. worried they still might die as weather has been cold in the uk. i gave them a heater but they are still ill

hi sir! how will i treat my sick koi? possible my koi is having ich or white spots? and lastly, what if i don't have a quarantine tank?

Mr kodama,,, if we use ziolit stone or carbon active, will the salt release amonia from that filter media? So amonia boom? Thanks

What specific gravity does this treatment come out to if I use a specific gravity salt meter

Hello Sir, thank you for your videos. I added salt to my koi pond today since 3 of them died last week and noticed red spotting on their skin. Hopefully, the salt will help, I added it straight to my koi pond since it seems to be affecting all my fish. My only question is, how long do I leave the salt in the pond? do I just remove it via water change? should it be a slow change? 10% per day, or just a big change, i.e. 25% water change? Please help and thank you!

Hello Im a koi keeper and my big koi jumped at the pond and he was covered by dirt at he's skin was scratched and what is the best solution or medicine that I can give him. Thank you hoping for your reply :(

After the first salt bath how much time should you wait until you repeat? I would like to do a couple treatments before returning back to the pond. He is hard to catch. Thank you sir

Oh I wanted to ask you if koi can smell food in the pond or are they only by sight and vibrations

Hello, I have a 1800 gallon pond at the moment just 4 koi which have not been fed for over 3months due to the winter cold weather. Would you advise me to put salt into the water?

I have a pond full of koi..and the biggest koi fish in my pond..which I consider the leader of them all....all of a sudden has started to separate itself from the others and is snorkeling more than usual...its color looks good from what I can tell..no lesions either and our pond water tested good..we use Ammo Lock but its hard to differentiate what the bad ammoniais comparedto the good from ammo lock....its not eating like the others..it is suddenly comfortable around me when it wasn't before..i have had some Comets when we started our pond that were comfortable around me but they ended up dying..so my koi is showing the same characteristics as the Comets I had before they died..so I am concerned...i saw a video of doing a salt bath which I did tonight...if by tomorrow I do not see a change..do u recommend any other treatment for it?....i just heard about a microscope and checking for parasites but I don't have a microscope yet..but I will work on getting one...this is my 1st year with our koi pond and my husband and I are learning..so any suggestions are appreciated..especially since the fact that the Koi im worried about was a $60 fish...we've had it for about 3 months now and this is the first sign of distress

I have a very large swim pond with Koi and plants. The pond is estimated to hold/circulate 100k gallons. That's 70+ bags of this product. I'll start little by little and take readings. Will it harm my plants? Lily's, iris, bog plants, grasses, etc.

Can we use water softener salt?

Tq sir

Is it also possible for quality goldfish?

I have a 20 year established 1000 gallon pond with Goldfish not Koi. I lost 90% of my fish due to parasites. I had treated the pond with Proforma-C. How long must I wait before I can introduce salt to the pond? Thank You 🙏 Dave in PA, USA.
