Salt in a Koi Pond - Benefits and How to Use Salt Safely

[@ILoveChanelLynn]

Thank you for this video & showing me exactly what kind of salt to get for my koi pond. Almost bought a smaller container of pond salt for quadruple the price of Mortons natural. Thank you for educating on how beneficial salt is in the ponds. Appreciate you. 🙏🫶

This is great! I inherited a koi pond when I bought our home, and I'm in desperate need of tips for keeping the fish happy and healthy! Thank you, thank you!

[@danielduffy1029]

how did you get on

[@tensatv2820]

Quick and easy explanation

[@kevinbentley8351]

I ad Sault at beginning and end of year. It does them the world of good. You can see them eating it. Brilliant stuff

[@Antonio-mg9ul]

Oh I wanted to ask you if koi can smell food in the pond or are they only by sight and vibrations

[@王磊-p3q]

Awesome information, the most thorough explanation of salt usage out there. Thank you for that!

[@atticussfinch9001]

I just used salt for first time... same brand... cheap! And my sluggish koi, sometimes flashing and sometimes jumping... got better fast! That was a couple of days ago. Not sure what happened. Brought in some plecos to help with algae after raccoons got my trapdoor snails. So maybe new, online species brought in problems. Seeing issues again. So I just added new water with chlorine eliminator, will throw in some other good stuff like Stress Coat. And... a wee bit more salt. Going lightly until I get my salt meter. Thanks for short, informative video-which also provided the place to buy cheap salt, and the actual brand! Morton’s blue bag: Pure & Natural!

[@ghggp1]

Thank you for making such a great video! One of my koi looked exactly like the one you began your video with! A pinkish patch on its side about the same size. Used salt and the pink mark is now totally gone. Knowing products NOT to use while treating with salt was a great addition to this video as you probably have saved many koi’s lives by educating us on what NOT TO DO! Again, thank you for this wonderful video!

Would one salt in the cold weather or should the temperature be higher?

[@houngnov1]

Thanks for your knowledge of pond treatment. However, you did not tell us how long should we keep salty, and how long could we stop feeding those sick koi during treatment.

[@linzi6778]

2 weeks then start diluting the pond water as koi keeper I would say once a day to keep waste at a minimum in winter no food at all as this can rot in your kois gut x x

i have a few sick koi. They are new from another pond. i will use aquarium salt bath for them tomorrow. worried they still might die as weather has been cold in the uk. i gave them a heater but they are still ill

[@sarunakarmi4814]

Thank you so much for the video and the guidance. I have 6000Ltrs pond. And going through a very tough time. I have lost maximum numbers of koi and commet fish in the last 12 months and they are still dying one after another. Only 2 large koi left in the pond and other smaller. And all going through the same issues, wound in their bodies. If I have understood you correctly, is it 30kg of salt for the 6000Ltrs pond measuring 0.5%? Thanks in advance for your response!

[@KodamaKoiFarm]

I’m sorry for what you have been through. Yes you are correct. 5kg/1000 litters should make 0.5%. So you need 30kg

Hello Sir, thank you for your videos. I added salt to my koi pond today since 3 of them died last week and noticed red spotting on their skin. Hopefully, the salt will help, I added it straight to my koi pond since it seems to be affecting all my fish. My only question is, how long do I leave the salt in the pond? do I just remove it via water change? should it be a slow change? 10% per day, or just a big change, i.e. 25% water change? Please help and thank you!
