DISASTER CONTINUES 🙄 Break out the big guns - Flukesolve and Potassium Permanganate

Treating extremely stubborn gill flukes and trichodina. Using potassium permanganate and Fluke-solve.
Lower temps have made this issue far harder to treat. Kusuri fluke-m didn’t touch them and FMG failed on the Trich 🤬🤬🤬

With fluke and fmg treatments, i always switch off pond pump, turn on air to pond and let the koi stew in it for a couple of hours 👍

[@edenkoipond]

Good advice. On my first treatment I didn’t even think about the drum taking out the powder. Hope you are well buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

[@scottcannings2746]

Great video Dave, I've just spring cleaned everything today, and put treatment in for blanket weed and I'm doing a four day CT treatment cos I've had flashing and my three diamond back sturgeon are 4foot so no PP for them, then I will fluke treat do this every time. Roll on some sun.❤

[@edenkoipond]

Hopefully your flashing doesn’t come to anything and you are right on top of it. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@tonybeards2978]

Oh jeesee you make me laugh, but in a good way. Can't walk past my watering can now without giving it a wink..😂😂

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

Good to see you Dave. Seems like lots of people are all treating for parasites right now, so you are certainly not alone.. Good video as usual and still hitting your head on the top of the doorway as usual too !😊

[@edenkoipond]

Thanks buddy 👍🏼 Hope you are having a good weekend and have got some decent weather 😊

[@adamrudge6480]

Strange that a lot of people have got the same two parasites currently. Most of these ponds are covered aswell🤷

[@edenkoipond]

Crazy isn’t it. Trich is usually associated with dirty water too. Some of the people I know that have had it have the cleanest ponds I’ve seen. I think mine was caused by a koi I added and/or me being a complete tool and leaving my return valves closed 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@adamrudge6480]

@edenkoipond Yeah, as you say, normally associated bad maintenance if you like and new fish being introduced, not necessarily the new fish, apparently. Strange one, though, as I keep up with my maintenance year round and haven't added any new fish. Yet I noticed a change in the fish yesterday afternoon, then again this morning. So, I have done a couple of scrapes and found both Tric and flukes🤷. Tbf, it was only the odd ones on the scrapes. So it will be a pp treatment tomorrow, which should give me an idea of the organic load as well. Most likely followed by a fluke treatment on Monday. As you say, though, annoying as the season has barely started. Dare I say it, haha, but hopefully that gets it out the way....Wishful thinking, though.

[@asterixborden-koi6881]

Nice video Dave hope you get the parasites sorted with the Koi mate, what did you treat your sturgeons with while PP the pond

[@edenkoipond]

I put them in PP but did it as a bath at a higher concentration but only 7 minutes. Being honest, I’ll just leave them in next time 👍🏼👍🏼

[@DerbyKoi]

Hopefully you've got them parasites beat now and I'm treating for tric and fluke as well the joys of koi keeping 😂 Stay safe Andy 👍

[@edenkoipond]

Hope you got it all sorted buddy! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@DerbyKoi]

@edenkoipond gave em a stern talking too... and charged them rent 🤣

[@bigbri59]

Cracking video as normal. As for your head bump I do the bloody same. Like I say cracking video and wish I had some of your energy fella. Haha

[@mykoiobsession]

Hopefully you've resolved the fluke issue. I'm wondering what dosage of PP and the duration of the dip did you use on the sturgeon. I have a shortnose sturgeon who is approximately 99 cm and a sterlet that is approximately 88 cm and fortunately have never had to dip them but would like to know just in case I do. Thanks.👍🏻

[@edenkoipond]

Hiya buddy. For the dip I used 1gram per 10 litres of water. When doing a dip I keep them in for a maximum of 7 minutes. Hope you are having a good weekend 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@mykoiobsession]

@@edenkoipondThanks so much. I'm definitely going to make a note of this for future reference.

[@andrewjames3908]

Do you find Sturgeon are any good for keeping algae off the sides and bottom?

[@edenkoipond]

Sadly not. They have little effect on the walls and floor I’m afraid. 👍🏼

[@deanhargreaves5958]

What's with using HP is it red or brown sauce. 😅.or did I hear you wrong

[@edenkoipond]

😂😂😂 Gotta be red sauce with fish and chips!

[@davidhorton6665]

Hope the parasites have gone by now, and your heads okay - I’m always doing that on my filter shed doorway, but as I’m a bit errr folically challenged, usually takes a chunk of skin off! 😂

Litterally every koi channel I've looked at over the last week is suffering with parasites... What you guys doing lol
