**sick koi** #help#
wrote in message ... 1. DO NOT ADD DRY PP TO ANY POND. this is how to kill the fish. make a stock solution up i know that 2. get the salt down to 0.1% OR get all your plants out of there it has been at .15% for over a month, so far plants are good 3. add the stock solution of PP in the evening, keep aeration going like crazy. if the water turns clear before 4 hours are up, then you need to add another dose of PP., dose 3 days in a row. ok, koivet.com said to repeat every 3 days what happens after 3 days, I am sure i won't clear up by then, when do I repeat?? Jo Ann took a look thinks the mouth problem is columnaris and PP will kill that. The white patch is probably some kind of parasite, the PP is good to take care of most things. *Thanks* sooo much for asking her,, where can i see some pics or info on columnaris?? 4. your water is toxic, you have to use the newspaper suggested to get that slick off the top and change some water. a UV is fine for getting rid of algae, but if you arent getting rid of the nitrates with algae or plants, you gotta do something else, like water changes. you dont say you tested for nitrates. *i jusT ordered a nitrate test kit,,, what should it read 5. if you dont have air stones going in there, get something to aerate the pond. I have a water fall lots of water the PP will react with everything organic and going to suck out the oxygen. CLEAN THE FILTER completely every day. right now I will run the sand filter & turn off the bio filter/uv combo ok??? dont add the melafix. who knows what the combination with PP produces. I agree, if you dont have trees casting pollen all over the place, that crap on the surface is coming from something rotting in there. lots of trees relativel new pond & plants. stuff on top seems less today it. set up a cheap swimming pool and start removing all the plants sniffing them deeply to see if there is anything rotting in them. toads and frogs spawning, BTW, will foul a pond fast, altho that is usually a spring thing. Ingrid i just saw NEW batch of teeny tadpoles |
