More about keeping healthy fish and caring for sick fish. Eddy Leysen Also this time it has been the intention to present my experiences in useful information and advice for other hobbyists, especially in the field of keeping fish healthy and treating fish that look less good due to any circumstance. 'Not good' is another weak description for the condition some fish are in when examined. Because the water quality is essential through a good filter installation, the necessary attention was also paid to this. Fish are in permanent contact with the surrounding water with their whole body and there is no escape or escape option for them if the quality of this water leaves something to be desired. They are dependent on what we, enthusiasts, give them. A fish that lives in a healthy water feature can withstand a parasite and with a good water composition half of the described 'discomforts' and the consequences can be avoided. Illness and subsequent death are still signs of weakness! This means that a fish always has some parasites and can live with them. The parasites only start multiplying en masse when external bad influences start to dominate, causing the fish to weaken as a result of stress due to the poor water quality, unadapted fellow inhabitants, ... Many have been doing 'it' for years and then they think they know 'it' all and don't understand why some have so many problems. But then 'it' goes wrong and they have no idea what went wrong and how to fix 'it'. With my 40 years of experience I still listen to the experiences of others because you can learn from this, but others with five years of experience think they shouldn't listen anymore… I notice it all too often. This book should be a valuable manual or guideline for both the beginner and the advanced enthusiast to keep the fish in optimal condition and thus prevent diseases. It should help him to experience more joy from the hobby and to deal with fewer disappointments… Reading this book before all the misery begins can avoid much misery!

Malamix 17 is an organic vitamin, herb and plant mix for the optimal health of pond fish! Malamix 17 consists of biological agents and can therefore not be overdosed. Even after a chemical treatment against parasites or bacteria, Malamix 17 is the ideal means for quickly rebuilding the mucous layer and bringing the water quality back up to standard. Malamix is a product developed by the well-known koid doctor Maarten Lammens. Why add Malamix 17 to your pond? Maarten Lammens: "Every day in practice I see sick fish with a bad mucus layer (too little mucus, too thick mucus, poor consistency...). If the mucus layer contains too few antibodies, there is a greater chance that your fish will get sick. After all, there are always pathogens present in every pond, which more easily take the upper hand in weaker fish.A healthy strong slime layer forms the basis of a healthy fish. It is therefore important to regularly provide your fish with this ideal mix of defense enhancers (see below ) containing Malamix 17. These immune enhancers are partly absorbed into the mucous membrane and partly filtered by the gills and all form good building blocks for a good mucus layer and an optimal natural defense against diseases. and probiotics give a boost, which improves the water quality and protects the fish preventively against hole-in-the-wall disease." When and how often can Malamix 17 be added? To obtain an optimal mucous layer (read defence), it is advisable to administer Malamix 17 preventively every two to three months. Only administer Malamix from a water temperature of 8°C. 1 liter of Malamix 17 is good for 10,000 liters of water. Malamix 17 ingredients Malamix contains 17 ingredients: Spirulina/Chlorella - Aloe Vera - Propolis - Calendula - Echinacea - Curcuma - Ginger - Astaxanthin - Inulin - Gingko Biloba - Eucalyptus - Ginseng - Vit.ACDE - Enzymes for nitrifying bacteria - Probiotics

Virkon 500 grams is a disinfectant that works from 0 degrees. It kills pathogens, lowers the bacterial count, fights viruses, bacteria and fungi. Two very serious viral diseases have now appeared, which can lead to very serious losses in koi. These are "Koi Herpes Virus" (KHV) and "Spring Viraemia", diseases among cyprinids. As with all viral diseases, there is no specific treatment yet. However, supportive measures in combination with biosecurity measures, such as those used in livestock farming, ensure that it cannot spread. That is currently the maximum that can be achieved. Many koi enthusiasts have become much more aware of this. There is a need for some form of Biosecurity, because it is the only way to protect and safeguard their often precious assets from these problems. What is Virkon? Virkon has been independently proven to be highly efficient against significant fish diseases/causative agents. Recent research has shown that if Virkon is continuously added to the water of fish farms, at a dose of 2 grams per 1,000 liters of water, Virkon breaks down in the water and has a low toxicity. This dosage does not completely disinfect the water like concentrated disinfectants but purifies it and thus reduces virus availability for contamination. It is therefore better to speak of a form of water conditioning than of disinfection or disinfection. A very important property for use in koi ponds is that Virkon strongly reduces the content of pathogenic bacteria and some protozoan parasites in the water (the bacterial pressure). How Virkon works: Virkon is a unique patented formulation based on a complex oxidizing system in which a number of biocides are simultaneously effective on the physical (and chemical) components of a pathogen. The addition of a surfactant increases the permeability, the presence of a buffer stabilizes the low pH and optimizes the disinfection Works against organic pollution and is temperature insensitive The formulation as a powder makes it easy for transport (No ADR) and storage. Purifying the water of Koi ponds with Virkon Most Koi ponds are equipped with a water pump, a microbiological filter and a UV light source. For dosing, however, UV and/or ozone equipment must be switched off. After dosing, as soon as Virkon has spread in the pond water, UV and/or Ozone can be switched on again. Ensure that the circulation pump(s) is/are actually in operation while spreading Virkon. Dosage/Use: Preferably mix Virkon® S in a bucket of water and spread it evenly over the pond/quarantine. For dosing, UV and/or ozone equipment must be switched off. After dosing, as soon as Virkon has spread in the pond water, UV and/or Ozone can be switched on again. Pay attention: Avoid contact with eyes and skin, In case of contact with eyes, rinse with water and seek medical advice, Wear protective clothing and gloves, Keep out of reach of children, Keep dry and cool, Jar and any residue are chemical waste. WARNING. Despite the wide experience with the safe use of Virkon, due to the great diversity in pond systems, no responsibility can be taken for any loss associated with the use of Virkon. Pay attention; a disease such as "Spring Viraemia of Carp" or "KHV" has a reporting obligation in many countries, either to your veterinarian or to the competent authority. Even if you suspect that you have this disease.

House of Kata Potassium permanganate (KP) is a koi medicine for the treatment of almost all common parasites in a pond, such as Trichodina, Trichodinella, Chillodinella & Costia. Potassium permanganate promotes the ignition of combustible substances. Cautions on use Only administer on the advice of a veterinarian or experience expert; Wear gloves. KP can cause a brown discoloration that is difficult to remove. Be careful with spills, KP causes stains that are difficult to remove; Dangerous if used carelessly, KP is a highly irritating agent; Avoid eye contact, KP is capable of causing permanent blindness; Use safety glasses when mixing and dispensing KP. Also wear mouth protection; Overdose irrevocably leads to the death of the entire fish population; KP attacks all metals with the exception of stainless steel; Do not use in combination with other medicines (combining is at your own risk). Despite our care, we cannot accept any liability if death occurs after the use of Potassium Permanganate. Harmful by inhalation or ingestion. Keep out of reach of children. When not to use KP: When the pond water is warmer than 27 degrees Celsius; When the fish gasps for air; When the pond cannot be adequately aerated; When an oxygen-devouring medication has taken place; When there is insufficient circulation in the pond When the pond content is not accurately known; When the water quality is not in order (eg low GH/KH or measurable ammonia/nitrite); When no decolorizing liquid (hydrogen peroxide) is available; When you cannot monitor the fish during the treatment period. For a general treatment incl. filter: Weigh KP accurately. Calculate the pond volume and stay within a 10% margin. Aerate the pond well. Dissolve KP well in a bucket of lukewarm water and distribute it evenly over the pond. KP works well in cold water. The colder the water the safer, cold water has a greater ability to dissolve oxygen. First clean the filter well and try to remove as much dirt as possible; add 2 grams per 1000 liters of water; Note the time of administration. The water should be purple for 6 hours from this time; If the color changes from purple to brown within these 6 hours, add 1 gram per 1000 liters of water; If the color changes from purple to brown again within these 6 hours, add 1 gram per 1000 liters a third time. The water should remain purple for 6 hours from the time noted; If the water turns brown within 6 hours after three doses, stop the treatment and repeat after 2 days; Stop the treatment after 6 hours. Change 15% water; Decolorize the water with Hydrogen Peroxide 3%. Dosage: 5 ml per 1000 liters. Filter : We recommend treating the filter along with it, but keep in mind that the filter will lose much of its biological effect. You can also choose to let the filter rotate in itself, a small pump is sufficient for this, extra aeration is recommended. Keep in mind that if you do not treat the filter, the chance of reinfection is greater. Switch off the UV lamp during the treatment. Remove any zeolite present during the course of treatment. Fishing By adding KP it is possible that fish will flash, rub or jump. The parasites become active as a result of the treatment with KP, which causes temporary irritation in your fish. Sturgeons cannot tolerate treatment with KP and should be removed during treatment.
