NT Labs Formaldehyde

When to use?
When fish show symptoms of a parasitic infection. This includes

  • White spots along the fins and body
  • Flicking and rubbing
  • Gasping at the surface
  • Opaque film over the body

Formaldehyde is highly effective at treating parasites due to its ability to penetrate through the mucus layer, reaching those parasites which would otherwise be protected from alternative bath treatments. It can also be used in conjunction with Malachite to treat protozoan parasites more effectively.

How do I choose the right Koi Carp?

When choosing the right Koi Carp for your pond you need to consider the size, age and colour of the Koi. Your pond needs to be large amount to accommodate the growth of your Koi Carp. Some popular Koi varieties include Sanke Koi, Chagoi Koi, Asagi Koi, Kujaku Koi and Kikokuryu Koi, however there are many more stunning varieties.

What do Koi Carp eat?

Koi Carp do eat plants as they are omnivorous. Your Koi will graze on soft aquatic vegetation and algae, and it’s also advised to feed your Koi Carp specialist Koi food. This already has all of the essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals that your Koi need to stay healthy and grow. You can feed your new Koi the same Koi food that we feed them here at Love Aquatics.
