John, Salt, 1-3 lbs per hundred gallons of water. Check water chemistry. Partial water change (before salt). Make sure your filtration system is powerful...
Hi John. The same thing happened to us one year. The algae is just covering an area where there is fungus and a possible bacterial infection. The way to...
Thank you both for the help! I have added the salt and teated the fish with polysporin. Lorraine do I need to do this daily? Thanks, John ... From: Lorraine...
Hi John. I would do it maybe once a week. You'll know better by looking at the fish to see if the sore seems to be coming less noticeable. If you find that...
No, I have not seen any redness. I did notice that the two small areas by its tail have already fallen off. But it lost part of its tail in the process. ...

Hi all, Over the last few months, frogs and toads have decided that my pond is a great place to 'get it on'. We daily have to remove a lot of eggs plus try and...
Matt, I've had plenty of tadpoles with no problems at all. I suspect another reason for your filter problem. I like my frogs and tadpoles, they add interest...
leave them, they wont be any problem to your koi, some will be extra food ration, but by the time they leave as young frog/toads there wont be so many anyway. ...

My Koi is doing very well, growth is nearly gone seems to be happy. I'm not sure it knows 1/3 of its tail is missing though. Thanks again for the help! ... ...
Matt April and May are the two worst month for koi keepers, spring is when any of your fish that are in poor health will likely die! myself i lost two this...
Koily, Lorraine I'd love to see your filter diagram also - we have lots of algae and can't seem to get rid of it. for now we've only put our goldfish,...
I know exactly how you feel about suspended and/or hair algae. We were plagued with it for years and once we built this filter and made it large enough for...
Thanks to everyone for their comments and advice. On reflection, I think my being too complacent was a major factor. I had no problems for 3 years. Not one...
We have a Laguna Pressure Flo 2100 UV bio filter (above ground) in our pond. My husband broke a knob while backwashing and we had to turn off the filter and...

Oh John, thank you so very much. I really appreciate it. I can remember what it was like in our pond before we found this bio-filter. Hugs, Lorraine ... ...
John, I wonder if this one would be better. The only thing that I can see wrong with this filter is that the pipe leading the water buck up to the top of the...
I know this isn't a Koi issue, but i thought someone might be able to assist me with this problem. I have a Fantail Gold Fish about 1 1/2 inches long. I has...
John, If you have a nitirite problem (even a little problem), it would be best if you at least pull the ailing koi out of the tank it's in and place it in a...
