Salt and tadpoles (and a long explanation)

MediKoi is an antibotic food, if your fish are eating. TriCide Neo is a dip that will take care of the problem if they're not. I came across MediKoi while searching and it sounds as though it would be ideal but it's not available for sale in the UK. The only antibiotic that is legal for hobbyists is oxolinic acid but it's been abused so much that it's no longer very effective and we haven't been able to find anyone who supplies it. Our vet has tried to get us some nitrofurazone/nitrofural because it is absorbed from the water but her suppliers don't carry it. She has suggested somewhere to try but they don't do web sales so it will have to wait until after the holiday weekend. You mentioned sediment in one post and that is where many bad bacterias like to hang out, so I hope you removed as much as possible. A bad-bacteria controller that we use here is called KoiZyme. See if you can find these products in your area or a UK based internet pond shop. Our Fish Mate pressurised filter just doesn't seem to be removing what it should, even tadpoles manage to get through it. It's rated at 2,500 to 7000 litres/hour and we are pushing 3,000 through it so it should be working. There is just a thin layer of sediment that seems impossible to remove. We are trying a different make of bacteria this year, 'Miracle Plus' from bio-claire but with water temperatures of around 16C it's bit too cold for it to be very effective yet. We have 0.3% salt in at the moment so that's just about killed off the bacteria for now. I will see if I can find KoiZyme for the future. Please let us know what happens. ~ jan I will, now that my posts are going out. Thanks for your help. -- Regards - Rodney Pont The from address exists but is mostly dumped, please send any emails to the address below e-mail ngpsm4 (at) infohitsystems (dot) ltd (dot) uk |

She has found a fish expert on the other side of the country and has supplied an antibiotic, Baytril (enrofloxacin I think) for the pond. The fish have gone off their food a little, but are still eating something, they are no longer huddled together in a corner but do patrol the pond slowly so something is happening. Will pp oxidise the antibiotic when we are done with it so that we can dispose of the water safely? -- Regards - Rodney Pont The from address exists but is mostly dumped, please send any emails to the address below e-mail ngpsm4 (at) infohitsystems (dot) ltd (dot) uk |
