SALT BATH 5 MINUTES
A short term bath used for treating individual koi:
- In a separate tub, add 1 pound of rock salt to 5 gallons of pond water. This produces a 2% salt solution.
- Mix until dissolved.
- Transfer koi inside of a plastic bag and gently pour the koi into the salt bath.
- Bathe koi for 5 minutes maximum. Usually the koi will lose it's equilibrium and tend to roll over within 2 to 5 minutes. Remove koi if it completely rolls over. A weak koi must be removed in 2 minutes; a strong koi can remain for 5 minutes.
- Remove koi by using the plastic bag as a scoop and transfer back to the main pond.
Repeat this salt bath only once again in 24 hours. |
