Koi Care Kennel

KoiZyme is a biological formula of naturally occurring bacteria, enzymes and micro nutrients. When KoiZyme is introduced into pond water that is infected with Aeromonas, Pseudomonas or any gram negative or gram positive bacteria, the bacteria and enzymes in KoiZyme competes with these pathogens for the nutrients in the pond water. These nutrients are primarily a nitrogen based nutrient from fish waste. KoiZyme will consume these nutrients and thus starve Aeromonas and Psuedomonas. The bacteria counts (CFU's) of these pathogens will then be reduced to such a low level that they will not have an affect on your fish. When used as directed, KoiZyme will reduce the bacterial count of Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathnogenetic bacteria to such low levels that they will not be a threat to the health of your fish. It is impossible to completely remove the Aeromonas and Pseudomonas bacteria from the pond water, but KoiZyme, when used on a regular weekly basis, will keep the Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathogens levels so low, they will not affect the fish.

Koi Care Kennel Jump Startis a professional formula of 50% Nitrosomonas and 50% Nitrobacter nitrifying bacteria. Jump Start is excellent for rapid "cycling" in a new bio-filter or restart of existing bio-filters in Spring or after use of harsh medications. Jump Start does NOT need to be refrigerated during shipping within the U.S. but MUST be kept refrigerated during storage. Jump Start is manufactured by the makers of KoiZyme and was beta tested for 15 months prior to its 2008 introduction. It was tested by filter manufacters, pond maintenence companies, and many of our dealers here in the U.S.

KoiCare Kennel Ammonium Chlorideis an amazing value. When starting a new pond with a new filter using Fritz-Zyme Turbo Start some hobbyist prefer using ammonium chloride as an ammonia source for the nitrifying bacteria rather than load the pond with koi. Using ammonium chloride rather than koi as an ammonia source is a much safer way to seed the biofilter because the ammonia levels are not going to endanger the koi. Once the filter has cycled and the ammonia and nitrite levels are safe then you can introduce your koi. This ammonium chloride is lab grade (99.7% pure). Available in a 500 gram jar.

Koi Care Kennel PraziPond Plus is USP grade (99.5% pure) prazi blended with cyanocobalamin and a proprietary polymer mixture. Praziquantel ("Prazi") is the preeminent treatment for flukes. 'Prazi' is by far the most gentle, yet effective treatment for flukes available to our hobby. No other prazi available today has this advanced formula. PraziPond Plus is 40% more effective than prazi alone. PraziPond Plus is manufactured for Koi Care Kennel, Inc. by AquaScience Research Group, Inc., the leading company in the koi hobby for polymer advanced research. AquaScience's polymers are responsible for the success of "ProForm-C" and "Ultimate Water Conditioner". Now AquaScience's advanced polymer technology is available in PraziPond Plus. As a preventative, we recommend treating once a year in early Spring. PraziPond Plus will work in ANY water temperture, and can be used at the same time with ProForm-C. A Non-Diversion Certificate is required to purchase.

Koi Care Kennel ProForm-Cis the preeminent broad spectrum malachite green & formalin treatment. It is formulated differently than any other malachite green & formalin mix. Malachite green and formalin are two drugs that are more effective in combination than if used individually. This is the definition of synergism. These two drugs are also less toxic in combination than if used individually, What makes ProForm-C the preeminent product in this field is the fact it is formulated with malachite green chloride, while all other MG&F products use the oxalate salt form which is more toxic than the chloride form. As with any malachite green & formalin treatment do NOT use with salt levels above 0.05%.

ProForm-LA is the safest and most effective treatment for the control of diseases of pond fish caused by Lice and Anchor Worms. It is just as safe to use on pond fish as Dimilin, yet it is much safer for human contact. It will not harm reptiles (turtles), amphibians (frogs) and mollusks (snails). When used as directed, it will not harm biological filtration and may be used with "scaleless" fishes such as doitsu koi.

Holistic Choice Koi Food gives your Koi a healthy staple diet of 38% protein, fish meal based kibble along with the healthy benefits of 8 freeze dried fruits and vegetables with every feeding. A diet so unique you can see the difference! For your koi to thrive they need more than just a quality kibble, they need the vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables. A well rounded diet is important for the overall health of your koi (and yourself). Floating pellet koi food must be heated to well over 280 degrees in order to create the air pockets needed to make that food float. We all know that when ANY food is heated to that temperature the vitamins and minerals are highly depleted. The protein is there but the vitamins and minerals are gone. That is why it is so important to supplement your koi's diet with fruits and vegetables. HOLISTIC CHOICE uses ONLY "human grade" (not animal or pet grade) freeze dried fruits and vegetables that actually contain 100% of the vitamins and minerals of store bought fresh fruits and vegetables. Here is why HOLISTIC CHOICE's freeze dried fruits and vegetables contain 100% of the vitamins and minerals of store bought fresh fruits and vegetables: Store bought fruits and vegetables are at least 3 to 10 days old since they were picked in the fields. Once picked from the grower's fields fruits and vegetables start to lose their vitamins and minerals with each passing day. HOLISTIC CHOICE's fruits and vegetables are freeze dried within 16 hours of being picked !! And ALL of HOLISTIC CHOICE's fruits and vegetables are CALIFORNIA GROWN !

Koi Care Kennel Tricide Neoprovides an excellent and often more effective and environmentally friendly alternative to dealing with a wide range of bacterial issues in Koi. Tricide Neo is formulated based on research conducted by the Emerging Diseases Research Group ant the University of Georgia, to aid in the treatment or prevention of many superficial bacterial infections. Results in the photographs below are from a series of standard 5 minute immersion baths over the period of two weeks.

Debride ProHealth calms fishs, reduces losses, eases stress, minimizes infection and aids healing, thereby helping to protect fishs during illness, handling and transportation. Debride ProHealth also helps detoxify the free ions of heavy metals present in the pond such as zinc, iron or copper which can be lethal to fishs and invertebrates. Debride ProHealth forms a multi-layered protective slime coating on fish's skin, protecting them during handling and minimizing infection. The coating works as a healing aid for fishs with bruises, missing scales, or frayed fins. The multi-layered protective slime coating is formed by special polymer colloids and is compatible with the use of salt. Debride ProHealth combines concentrated skin slime replacers with the addition of vitamin B12 which aids in the more normal healing process of injured fishes.

Koi Care Kennel Chloramine-Tis an excellent choice for the control and elimination of bacterial gill disease, body fungi and bacterial infections. It has some effect on Flukes in clean water conditions such as hospital tanks and quarantine tanks. Safe when dosed correctly. Bio-filtration MUST be bypassed during dosing. For ornamental pond use ONLY, can not be used on food fish.
