Product Description

Pond Salt for Healthy Koi and Goldfish

Pond salt is used to increase koi and goldfish electrolytic intake. Electrolytes are critical in building and maintaining a healthy slime coat. Electrolytes such as potassium are essential in wound repair and in times of heavy stress (i.e. - during water changes or clean-outs). Salt is excellent for mucous production when healing from a wound.

Ward off Common Fish Parasites

Salt will also help ward off and remove most common protozoan parasites found in koi and goldfish such as Dactylogyrus, Byrodcytulus, Epistylis, Trichodina, and Chilodonella. Salt can be used in a salt bath for heavy infestations or as a routine treatment to keep parasites from entering the pond environment.

Routine Application Rate

Apply salt at the prescribed rates above when treating fish illness, following a water change, clean-out or during a seasonal change. Most pond fish stress during these times and need the electrolytes to assist in repairing their slime coating. Fish should only remain in a salted pond for 1 month. Following a month, perform a 30% water change at least twice and one week apart.

For ponds without plants you may double the dosage.

Salt Bath Application Rate

For treatment of extreme disease or illness fish may require a salt bath. Add 1lb of salt for every 3 gallons of water in an isolated bath or quarantine tank. Place infected fish in an aerated (use an air stone) bath for 10 minutes or until fish begins to turn over. Remove fish immediately if fish shows any signs of stress and rolling. After the bath, immediately remove fish to a quarantine tank for 30 minutes and monitor fish closely. After 30 minutes the fish can be placed back into the pond.

For Best Results

Do not over apply salt and follow directions thoroughly for maximum effect. If you are unsure of the bath application please phone us.
