Joann Koizyme competes for the same food source that aeromonas bacterias live on until they infect a fish with a wound. Thus it indirectly kills aeromonas bacteria, so a fish with a predator or rock inflected wound doesn't get infected. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

Let's talk about Koizyme
I have been using it since its inception about 4 or 5 years ago. I consider
it to be the silver bullet for preventing ulcers from forming. We had serious problems our 2nd or 3rd year of ponding because we were ignorant of water quality, over crowding, and fish health issues. KoiZyme came on the market, got good reviews from Doc Johnson and in some of the koi mags so we started using it real early in its introduction. Swear by it. Oh, BTW, got power back on Thursday, but did not have cable before we left for my 40th class reunion in Colorado. Got back yesterday and had a ton of email, bills, and other things that couldn't be done without power and internet. Now, I AM BACK. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "FBCS" wrote in message ... Thanks Jan, Is this something you use and would recommend for usage?

Let's talk about Koizyme
Thanks Rich, I thought it was you I had heard giving raves for this product.
Should it be used consistently? Glad your back it has been pretty quiet on rec.ponds I think many were w/o power. Say hello to Donna, Leesa let us know you were fairing okay.

Let's talk about Koizyme
The product has a startup sequence that uses double doses for a while and
then it drops back the dosage to half amount once a week. I use the maintenance dose all year long with my heated pond, but it is not needed for most once the pond temperature drops below 50. If I see a scrape or bruise on a fish that I suspect might become infected, I will treat twice a week for a couple of weeks to try to keep the sore from getting started. Rec.Ponds withdrawal was really getting to me with no power or internet. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "FBCS" wrote in message ...

I wanted to understand that it wasn't just a similar bacteria like what we (hope) will seed a filter. What made sense to me was the explanation that aeromonas thrive on the sluffed off slime coat and therefore on the feces that are coated with said slime, the Koizyme bacteria eats the dead slime, so the aeromonas have nothing to eat. Works down to 50F according to a website I read today. ~ jan See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

OMGosh, I never thought about what would happen if I was without power to pay bills via the net. I wonder how good they are about that, or if they would say, "Too bad, so sad, happy late fees?" ~ jan See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
