Pond fish with Ick
And the recommendation by e-mail was:
FORMALIN since the pond contains many plants. Salt would be out. 1 oz. treats 500g and costs around $9.00 for a 16 oz. bottle so it's economical. Thanks for the reply ;-) -- ZB....

Next time do not use your neighbors pond as a means to wash your nasty laundry in.

Silly me. ==================== So you really wouldn't know how safe Formalin was since you never used it yourself. I see. Well since I never used it either and that was the only recommended treatment for a pond full of plants, I'll pass it along to them with a copy of the webpage warnings to make sure they wait for the water to warm up and aerate the water like crazy if they choose to use the product. -- ZB....

Pond fish with Ick
Your ****ing in the wind trying to tell Carol Gulley anything. Carol aka Zebulon is the worlds greatest authority on fish and ponds, and odds are she'll tell you she taught the U of F professors what they know. There really is only one right answer to the ich in a pond problem. PUll the fish, for 6 to 8 weeks and the cycle of ICH wil be broken inthe pond, and treat the fish in a hospital / quaratine tank for the 6 to 8 weeks it takes cycle to break in the pond..Then again Carol lis a dumbass and only gives bits and pieces of info.....Carol is gonna recomend something, anything, wrong or right just so she can say she is in charge and people focus on her.....She could care less about the ramifications if its not right.
