 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 (i.e. pH levels etc.). However, if problems do occur, the first step is to remove the individual fish or decide whether to treat the entire pond.
It is sometimes difficult to be aware of a problem with a fish until it is too late.
Be aware of your fish's behavior patterns so changes in behavior can be detected early. A change in your fish's behavior is usually the first sign that your fish are stressed or ill.
Also it is very important to know the size of your pond in volume before applying any medications or treatments.
