Discussion of Medication METHYLENE BLUE Blue in colour Treatment for Parasites, Bacterial infections and parasites, but not as strong as other medication Fairly safe to use Can be used with salt It does affect the biological filters negatively Good treatment after spawning to prevent a bacterial infection Fairly toxic to plants 1.5g / 1000 liters
MALACHITE GREEN Dark green Antiseptic Ideal for fungal infections but also a good fairly safe treatment for most parasites Can not be used in conjunction with high salt levels Good treatment for white spot and fungus Good topical treatment for open soars (apply with cotton wool bud) 1g / 10 000 liters Must follow up the treatment 200mg / 1000 liter for treatment of eggs
POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE Dark purple Very effective treatment for almost all parasites and effective against bad bacteria Very strong and dangerous if you overdose Not toxic to plants Disinfectant for newly purchased plants and new fish Kills good bacteria and very harmful to bio filter Have to do a 30% water change after each treatment Can be used with salt. Dosage: 2.56g / 1000 liters Some people do a dip of 8 grams per 80 litres for 5 minutes, but we found that it burns the gills and we do not recommend Potassium dips at all. If the fish are small or scaleless(doitsu), decrease the dosage by 30%.
VIRKON S To sterilize ponds, filter or equipment and to kill bacteria, fungus and viruses. If used in the pond, do not repeat within 7 days. Not only is Virkon S a very potent disinfectant, but is less toxic than Potassium or Chloramine T. It can be used in many different ways, as a foot dip, bath or spray to disinfect all kinds of equipment, hands after treatments and can be used in direct contact with the koi (in the pond water) to kill pathogens, by adding 5g/1000 liters. Virkon S is also ideal to bring down the bacterial count in your pond after parasite infections and treatment, to prevent secondary bacterial infection. If you need to sterilize your pond completely with no fish in the water, add 20g/1000 liters. Virkon S are normally being used to sterilize a pond after a KHV infection. The koi societies also use Virkon S lately to disinfect all show ponds and equipment before and after koi shows.
SALT 4kg of salt per 1000 liters. (Maximum 5kg per 1000 liters) Salt bath: 1 kg per 45 liters for 10 minutes. This will create a mucus coat to prevent the bacteria from attacking the fish and will throw most external parasites off the skin. It acts as a disinfectant. It kills 90% of parasites and bacteria. It combats the effect of excessive water entering the koi causing pressure of kidney functions through it's wounds/ulcers(if any) It lower the toxicity of Nitrite poisoning. We believe that the average koi keeper should stay away from chemicals as long as possible and stick to the more natural safest ways of treatment, being salt. Recommended first treatment if you suspect problems and you are unable to diagnose the specific problem.
TRICHLORFON This is an insecticide (Organophosphorous) normally used for caterpillars and previously marketed under various brand names including Dipterex and Masoten.

and inject just behind the pectoral fin where there is a soft area without
