Help Again Please-You Guys Are Awesome!
Look at this link if it comes through
http://www.koivet.com/html/articles/...am e=Diseases or go to www.koivetlcom and look for the article titled "Infectious Diseases of Goldfish and Koi " Because of the life cycle of the ich, it must leave the fish to divide and it can only be killed while away from the fish. Since different infections will dislodge from the fish at different times, and due to the length of the life cycle, I think salt is the only cure. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Judi9000" wrote in message ... At the end of last summer I bought some baby koi out of the feeder tanks at Pet Smart. Along with the koi came lots of parasites(ich, anchor worms, etc.). I brought the fish inside for about 3 wks. until it looked like the parasites were gone. They were fine all winter until last week when the temperatures rose. (I'm in Bakersfield, CA). Anyway, there are already new signs of ich! Since I've been reading posts on this site regarding salt, the use of salt and parasites, I'm not really sure what to do now. Do I use meds with salt? Will salt really kill ich? Should I start treating now or wait until it's warmer? Should I net the fish with spots and give them salt dips? Thanks for your help. Judi FYI-When I told the manager at Pet Smart what happened she GAVE me over a hundred dollars in medication, loaned me a hundred gal tank, and gave me a hundred dollar gift card to replace the dead guys! I'm sure now that it doesn't hurt to ask. I've also learned a hard lesson! |
