Koi Disease; Prevention and Treatment
Dr Greco's koi and supplies carries an
extensive line of quality products for
ensuring the health and vitality of your koi.
Please feel free to contact us should you
have any questions regarding the proper
selection and application of these products.
Every pond owner with fish, at some time
or another, will probably have to medicate
their pond. Though Koi are extremely
hardy, it is very important to keep a watch
on their environment to keep them at their
healthiest. Attention should be paid to the
quality of water and balance of the pond.
Be aware of your Koi's behavior patterns
so changes can be detected early. A
change in your Koi's behavior is usually
the first sign that your Koi are stressed or
ill.

Bacterial Koi Diseases & Treatments
Fin & Tail rot. (Flexibacter Columnaris), Holes. (Aeromonas), Vibrio.
One of the prime causes of fish mortality is bacterial disease. With the exception of "columaris"
nearly all bacterial infections occur after another problem has occurred, stress is a prime factor with
bacterial disease. Most are gram-negative organisms.
Treatment can be varied but some treatments are Acriflavin, chloramphenicol, sulphonamides, salt,
etc. as a dip, topical, or in feed.
Fungal Koi Diseases & Treatments
A secondary infection in the area of some other fish injury. Also affects damaged or disturbed fish
eggs.
Treatments include: Acriflavin, iodine, Malachite Green, salt, formalin as a bath, topical, or in pond.
Parasitic Koi Diseases & Treatments
Anchor worm, Fish lice (Argulus), Flukes, Ich, Internal parasites.
Most fish carry parasites, but older fish develop a degree of resistance that prevents problems.
Parasites like anchor worms and fish lice usually are a problem whenever present. Young fish are
more susceptible to illness caused by parasites. Stress situations and seasonal climatic variations
can bring on infections.
Treatments include: Dylox, Masoten, Demilin, Formalin, Malachite Green, potassium permanganate
or salt in the whole pond or in a bath.
