They are looking great Craig, so glad they are all doing well again. You have earned yourself a subscriber buddy 👌
@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR thank you mate really appreciate it 👍🙏
Well pal there looking better😊 NICE 🎉 I hope the beni does come back 🤞I've got a tancho goshiki he's gone peroxide blond 😂😂 Nice one my friend 👍 🐟
@Garykoi625 Thank You Gary hope your good mate 👍 🙏
Nice one Craig Nice to see 👀 all is well ⛩🐟⛩
@@CescaTheDarkHorse thank you ❤️
it is annoying when beni fades, I bought a little tancho 20 years ago, the most perfect red circle right in the middle of his head, picture perfect, I had it for about a year, for the last 19 years it has been a magoi, never seen anything like it, from a bright white fish with a perfect circle to a complete blackfish, I kept him as a lesson to myself lol.
@MikeZak101 This fish was the same mate a perfect beni spot with ink black sumi, it's been a very stressful fish and my trigger fish Thanks 👍🙏
YES Craig… 👍🏼 Superb to see the koi have improved so much mate… 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 💪🏼👍🏼
@AndysKoiPuddle Thanks Andy 👍🙏
Great to see the fish getting back to normal 😊👍. Really looking forward to the Five Towns Koi OPEN DAY on 31st August, there’s going to be some epic deals and some very happy people 😊👍
Thanks Phil, yes mate gonna be a cracking day and one not to be missed, Ohhhh you have some space now 🤔🤪🤣
Thanks for the Bump Captain 💪🏻 everyday is a school day pal. Formalin is seriously aggressive and it can go off. Hard to tell if its off or not when premixed... it's a once a year last resort treatment for me. But that's just me. Glad you sorted it and well done Phil for smashing over. Take care my mate 👍🏻
@dkoi-tv Thank You and your welcome mate 👍🙏
Mate u should leave it defo 14days after if that stuff
@davidcourt7538 Leason learnt mate thanks 👍
Close call by the sounds of it there Craig. Well caught and dealt with tho guys. 👏🏼 👏🏼 😰 I’ve been meaning to order some of that for a while. Now ordered… 👍🏼
Lucky escape there mate👍 the trouble with using premixed FMG is you have no idea if the Formalin has gone off and turned to Paraformaldehyde which is toxic to koi, that’s why I prefer to mix FMG myself , of course it could just be mixing all the chemicals together and that your FMG is fine, but you can’t tell with premixed FMG because of the MG. Formalin should be clear and have no white deposits in it , if it has white deposits in it then don’t use it in your pond (but it makes excellent weed killer) All the best
Forgot to mention, I know it seems to be a thing now overdosing with various medications but one thing you should never overdose with is Malachite Green, where as Formalin has different doses depending upon temperature, so again with premixed you can’t up the dose of Formalin without upping the MG
Craig mate, thankfully, you saved them 😅 you know, i killed some of my fish by mistake. 🤬 I've spent more on chemicals this year than in the last 30 years. Just in case😮 there sat in the cupboard, i will get some of that 😂😂 just in case 😂 cheers my friend 👍 🐟
Detox has always been a go to for me for many years . Always leave atleast 10days apart mate, glad you sorted it shag 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@BlackCountryKoi Thanks Shag 🙏
Lucky escape there shag. Since I’ve had my new pond I swear by pdf, it’s worked magic in my pond 👍🏼👌🏼
@westbromkoi been using it a lot Shag but you don't realise how good it is until situations like this the pickup was instant. 👍🙏
glad you sorted it mate. lucky
@Sharpeyskoi Yes mate very thanks 🙏
Thank god you got that sorted mate hood of you to put the ruff with the smooth mate I comend you for that I have that and everix and use them both regularly
@HumberKoi Thanks Arron tbf mate if someone can learn by others mistakes and mishaps then Jobs A Fish, looks like it was putting FMG in to close to the dose of Lernex Pro that caused the issue however I was just getting anxious about the Costia I didn't want it taking over, I'm made to believe that it's the formaldehyde that caused the issue against the Lernex maybe if I used something without formaldehyde ingredient in I could have been OK, I'm.so glad the Detox saved the day, fish still not right but they did take a battering yesterday and they have started it pick up so hopefully another couple of days they will be back to normal. Thanks mate 👍 🙏
That's amazing craig, and a massive piece of information to share for anyone viewing. So glad you saved them all, because I cannot imagine the devastation you would of gone through.
@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR thank you really appreciate your nice comments
So glad you got it sorted, great info regarding the detox, definitely worth me getting some just incase 👍
@andrewjones7670 100% mate if it wasn't for Detox it would have been Game Over
Glad you got it sorted 👍 Craig Nice to have a good friend like Phil 🙏
@CescaTheDarkHorse thanks yes a soon ASAP Phil was straight over 🙏
Bloody Nora mate glad you sorted it I have to say I use detox and their invirex and I had a ph kh crash after heavy rain that was acidic and it’s sorted my pond catch that in my last vid scrags hope all your fish go on the mend bud
@@Brand-Family-Koi-Adventures thanks think it's gonna take a few days for them to get back to normal 🤞
Glad you got to grips with it
Glad you've dodged a bullet Scragster bruva but what is in the detox formula ❓🧁👍👍👍
@LeTwistedOne Sir Twisted One, it's Paula Reynolds Formula not sure of the ingredients I'll take a look tomorrow. 🧁
@@scrag68 thanks Very much bruva 🧁👍👍👍
Glad you sorted it mate
@myboyskoi Thanks Danny Boi
Full dose then half dose next day then leave a day then half dose again
@@baitking1 thanks mate
Nice update mate hope you're on top of it all now........ Plain sailing from here on in fingers crossed. There is a Showa in the pond that just stands out to me #stunning 😍 I personally only treat when I find something, its like taking antibiotics for nothing. Eventually a tolerance will be built up and they won't work when needed. Also treatments can have adverse effects on both fish and filters. So I would choose not to treat as precautionary measure only treat what I find. There are other things that can effect the koi, heavy metals, chlorine etc etc. I think we could end up treating nothing. Just my opinion though and every pond is completely different. For example you talking about foods, at the rates I feed Saki balance destroys my water haha growth and colour are fine but balance gives me a big pond of tea... Keep on smashing it mate great content love catching up on your vids.
Cheers mate I saw you post about the swim bladder was proper gutted to see that on Facebook. I’ve had costia stright after fluke I just alprex and we had a koi with the same symptoms. Thanks very much for the shout out mate appreciate it.
@HumberKoi Thanks mate, the symptoms was like swim bladder I'm glad it's not. 🙏👍
New subscriber from Andy's Koi Puddle 😊
For fluke treatment I dose day 1 100%, day 3 50%, day 5 100%. I may be different but was advised by a respectable vet who produces a well known fluke treatment.
@GrahamTaylor123 Thank You what treatment do you use?
@@scrag68 usually flukesolve plus then if a second dose is needed Lernex pro. I find a combination of both usually works.
Oaki koi is top bloke i have have four nice fish of stu
@Anthony.1967 yes mate always willing to help and his prices well wow, definitely looks after people 👍🙏
Pp will not kill fluke my mate is a very good bloke he told me pp will not kill fluke
@Anthony.1967 Thanks hopefully it will help follow-up of Lernex 👍🙏
Good waffle shag, as a novice myself, I’m still undecided about a lot of things within the hobby ie treatments and food etc 👍🏼👌🏼
@@westbromkoi Thanks Shag proppa head masha ay it, no doubt something new will be around the corner just to add more confusion 😄 🙏
Hi fella. Just wanted to know you do self adhesive measuring tape for koi bowl. Thanks Terry.
@terryplaster5330 Yes mate I have some left. 🙏👍
Nice one fella can you let me know how much and how to order please.
@terryplaster5330 can you send me an email please scrag68@gmail.com thanks
Nice vid scrag. My lernex pro method if 100% day 1. 50% day 2 . 50% day 3. Seems to work well for me. 👍
Nice update Craig some lovely koi there ⛩🐟⛩
@CescaTheDarkHorse Thank You hope your well and hope to see you at Newark 👍🙏
Something we were told, the parasites can become resistant to the treatments if you use the same one every time. Might be worth trying a different one next time you have to treat. We didn't have gill fluke, we used fluke solve plus, with the 100, 50, 50. That work, but then we had costia almost straight away 😢 All good now though. Good luck with yours.
@lindosbay Thank You 🙏👍
Good video Craig 👏 I do think since I started doing CZcams I've become paranoid about my fish's health.😷🤧 I've got treatments in the shed now just in case 🤬😤🐟
@@Garykoi625 think we have all got a little paranoid makes you wonder what's happening with people who just leave their ponds and not worry 🤷♂️
I did it that way as advised by Ricky from koi wholesale on one of his vids, full dose on the first day, half on the second and third days, worked perfectly and its been the first time i've nailed them, I also have two tench and a sturgeon in my pond and it didn't bother them at all. I put it in the way rasta koi advised a few years back on one of his vids, only difference is I used a 70 micron brewers sack instead of a stocking which you can grab off amazon. Put the bottom half of the sack into the pond with the treatment in it near a return, holding the open end above the water, massage the lernex through the bag with your other hand and it dissolves it all perfectly into the water, no partials are left, I also turn the filter off for an hour to let them bath in the full dose for as long as possible, I don't bother turning the filters off for the second or third dose but defo the first one. Not sure how you measure the lernex out but I just assumed it being a 1000ml bottle that it would weigh 1000 grams but its not the case as I found out using it the first time, I needed a whole bottle and a bit more from the second one , but after emptying the first bottle into my scales the 1000ml powder actually weighs about 1250 ish grams. I tried the mixing thing an air stone in a bucket but it was foaming up like crazy and I wasn't sure it if I was weakening the treatment by gassing it off like that. Not sure if you use clay but I use the sack for that now to, since doing so I always have a small amount left in the sack now that doesn't dissolve and feels like really sharp gritty sand (nt labs mediclay), again I just massage it until no more cloud is coming off of the sack but I always have this small amount of grit leftover which i don't put in the pond, since doing it this way the flashing is next to nothing so I believe whatever this leftover grit is is an irritant to their gills.
@MikeZak101 Superb Mike thank you for commenting certainly some good advice there and ill take it on board thank you 👍🙏
Hi Craig I do tend to pp then like you said but I do 50/50/50 but I tend to use fluke solve
Thank You 🙏
Nice one Craig 👍 love the waffle 😊. Good points made re koi treatment and costia following fluke. I’ll be watching the comments with interest to see how others treat👍. For what it’s worth my regime is 100% day1, 50% day 2, 50% day 3 and 100% day 7. No go out and clean that window (again and again and again🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I’ve worn out 4 Brillo pads🤣😂👍)
🤣🤣 Thanks Phil I think that's what I will go with 👍👏🙏

strange your nexus does that, mine doesnt do it so im not sure if your water level maybe too high hence its coming back up out the overflow
@Sharpeyskoi thanks shag I do run the water level high, it doesn't happen all the time and only when cleaning so this little filter is just the job, hope your good mate.
Excellent!!
