  • I love these videos, you must be the most informative Koi channel out there. As a newcomer I have found these videos invaluable. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
  • Thanks for this video on salt because I’ve been keeping kois for over 12 years without using any salt at all and no sickness or deaths. Instead really happy kois with good growth and color.
  • Very informative, welcome back! I’ve missed your pearls of wisdom πŸ‘πŸ‘ŒπŸŸ
  • Have really enjoyed both part 1 and part 2, thank you Daz for this very informative info, always a pleasure watching your videos, keep well my friend. πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘
  • Really great videos on a very contentious subject. I agree with you 100%. Nice to see you posting again Daz. πŸ‘
  • Afternoon Darren, again another useful video on the addition of salt for bathing or adding to pond. Very informative i rarely use salt and I will definitely think again if I need to use salt. Thanks πŸ™ again. Kind Regards Errol.

    Really helpful video. I was advised to add salt as a tonic, which I started to do but then found out that too much salt can harm plants. Now having to do water changes to get rid of the salt. Like your website by the wayπŸ‘

    i fell prey to the thought of adding salt for over winter to stop parasites . can honestly say it did me no benefits, infact it hinderd me as when i had an outbreak of trich and flukes from new fish that i must have missed when scraping ,it hindered me as i had to get it out before treating for the parasites. the only benefit wa it did drop my nitrate levels. salt baths have benefits in my opinion but i wouldnt salt pond again. i kind of agree in the fading colour too. great vid as usual dazzle and good to see you back.
  • Great video's again Daz. Is there going to be any future video's on parasites, treatments, and how effective they are and the time scales for them to be in the pond. Eg ..time scales of cleaning filters after adding treatments.

    So I bought koi from a eBay seller... They keep salt in their water I have lost 20% of The fish so far and finally put the worst ones back in salt, where they seem better ... How long should it take to ween them off the salt? Days,or weeks or months? Thanks for your time,,,

    Can salt be used to control blanket weed? If so at what level? I tried a product called Blanket Answer and it killed my bio filters after being perfect for nearly 10 years.
