Koi & Goldfish Bacterial Disorders
|
|
Many of our customers have called
and are wondering what the difference is between gram-negative
bacteria, and gram-positive bacteria. These terms are used
by professionals to identify bacteria under a microscope
and should be of no concern to the average hobbyist. |
|
**If your pond water temperatures are 65°F
or lower, the antibiotic treatments will not work. Most
treatments will produce little or poor results at low
temperatures. The only way the treatments would work in
this situation, is to purchase a pond heater, or remove the fish
and treat it in an isolation tank or pond. You can buy a
pond heater for a 3,000 gallon pond for around $600 |
