- Learn why we recommend you should use salt in koi pond, but with caution! www.kodamakoif...
when I first started working for my Koi Master father more than 20 years ago, one of the things that surprised me, was that we used salt so much. I mean A LOT of salt!
Some of you may have had a similar experience as mine in your koi research and wondered, “Is salt actually good for a koi pond?” or “Can I just use table salt (Morton salt) in my pond?”.
Is Salt Good for a Koi Pond?
Yes, it has many benefits for creating a defense against bacteria and parasites.
Use salt to take care of parasites and/or bacteria on a Koi’s body.
Use salt to promote sickness recovery by balancing a Koi’s osmoregulation.

100% accurate my koi is heal from fungi because of salt
Thanks for your knowledge of pond treatment. However, you did not tell us how long should we keep salty, and how long could we stop feeding those sick koi during treatment.
Oh I wanted to ask you if koi can smell food in the pond or are they only by sight and vibrations
Under a microscope my fish had skin fluke, so I treated my pond not once but two treatments of Flukesol after a scrape the fluke had gone but my fish started to flash and i was told to salt my pond at 3% vol. I have been doing my water changes and my salt level is still at 2% volume. my fish are flashing and under microscope the fish costia. my pond is 4000 galls . i cant use potassium because of salt. WHAT CAN I USE . Thanks
Awesome information, the most thorough explanation of salt usage out there. Thank you for that!

i have a few sick koi. They are new from another pond. i will use aquarium salt bath for them tomorrow. worried they still might die as weather has been cold in the uk. i gave them a heater but they are still ill
After the first salt bath how much time should you wait until you repeat? I would like to do a couple treatments before returning back to the pond. He is hard to catch. Thank you sir

So clear and helpful! Thank you!
what level of salt can plants handle?
My koi s sick fr almost 2 weeks,it s not eating nor moving,she a simply staying in the bottom gasping,Help!
Thank you great video. Please can I ask a question, at what temperature range should the pond be when using salt? TY 🙏🏻
I just used salt for first time... same brand... cheap! And my sluggish koi, sometimes flashing and sometimes jumping... got better fast! That was a couple of days ago. Not sure what happened. Brought in some plecos to help with algae after raccoons got my trapdoor snails. So maybe new, online species brought in problems. Seeing issues again. So I just added new water with chlorine eliminator, will throw in some other good stuff like Stress Coat. And... a wee bit more salt. Going lightly until I get my salt meter. Thanks for short, informative video-which also provided the place to buy cheap salt, and the actual brand! Morton’s blue bag: Pure & Natural!
If I take the plants out....add salt...when can I put the plants back?
Hello Im a koi keeper and my big koi jumped at the pond and he was covered by dirt at he's skin was scratched and what is the best solution or medicine that I can give him. Thank you hoping for your reply :(
Thank you so much for the video and the guidance. I have 6000Ltrs pond. And going through a very tough time. I have lost maximum numbers of koi and commet fish in the last 12 months and they are still dying one after another. Only 2 large koi left in the pond and other smaller. And all going through the same issues, wound in their bodies. If I have understood you correctly, is it 30kg of salt for the 6000Ltrs pond measuring 0.5%?
Thanks in advance for your response!
I’m sorry for what you have been through. Yes you are correct. 5kg/1000 litters should make 0.5%. So you need 30kg
@@KodamaKoiFarm thank you so so much!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Very informative, thank you! I just subscribed.
Can I use salt in my pond all the time? Or just when koi are sick
Hello Sir, thank you for your videos. I added salt to my koi pond today since 3 of them died last week and noticed red spotting on their skin. Hopefully, the salt will help, I added it straight to my koi pond since it seems to be affecting all my fish. My only question is, how long do I leave the salt in the pond? do I just remove it via water change? should it be a slow change? 10% per day, or just a big change, i.e. 25% water change? Please help and thank you!
After putting salt, when should we change water again? Please advice
Is it safe for koi to always keep salt in pond at 0.3% at all time?
How long can it be 0.5% salt in a pond without harming the kois?
Very nice video. Thanks.
Can we combine koi with other fishes?
Hello. May I ask… is 0.3% 3ppt salt?
I have a 20 year established 1000 gallon pond with Goldfish not Koi. I lost 90% of my fish due to parasites. I had treated the pond with Proforma-C. How long must I wait before I can introduce salt to the pond? Thank You 🙏 Dave in PA, USA.
Thanks you for this awesome and very useful information.
Thank you for this informative video🙏

I have a very large swim pond with Koi and plants. The pond is estimated to hold/circulate 100k gallons. That's 70+ bags of this product. I'll start little by little and take readings. Will it harm my plants? Lily's, iris, bog plants, grasses, etc.
ありがとうございました...for this great video...👍👍👍
I've ordered a salt meter. What should the meter read when I have enough salt in the pond? My pond is about 7400 gallons. When I remove the plants...when do I put them back in the pond?
👊👍🇧🇪💞
Do koi need heater?
3 pounds per 100 gallons?..I never would have guessed that much. Very good info.
Would magnesium salts work even better? With less?
Quick and easy explanation
Thank you for making such a great video!
One of my koi looked exactly like the one you began your video with! A pinkish patch on its side about the same size. Used salt and the pink mark is now totally gone.
Knowing products NOT to use while treating with salt was a great addition to this video as you probably have saved many koi’s lives by educating us on what NOT TO DO!
Again, thank you for this wonderful video!
Is rock salt ok
What specific gravity does this treatment come out to if I use a specific gravity salt meter
0.3% from 100% or 0.3% from 1.00%? when i added salt into my tank, it's alot of salt for 0.3% ,which tested from my salt test pen that measure 0.00%~1.00% max.
Thank you Sir ,your video is very simple yet effective .God bless you .
3 pounds to 100 gallons sounds kind of high. Ive used sea salt and kosher salt from Walmart worked good for me. I’m sure he knows what he’s talking about.?
Thank you very much I really appreciate you and your teaching 😊
Hello, I have a 1800 gallon pond at the moment just 4 koi which have not been fed for over 3months due to the winter cold weather. Would you advise me to put salt into the water?

We suggest 1kg of salt for every 1000 liters of water but for more info please visit our blog www.kodamakoifarm.com/benefits-salt-koi-pond-why-should-use-it/
one of my koi bathed in salt water 0.09% for 1 day, its skin looks like being peeled off and eye turned abit white. is this normal??
We suggest that 0.06% is the highest you go or else the safety of your koi may be at risk. You can read our blog to learn more www.kodamakoifarm.com/benefits-salt-koi-pond-why-should-use-it/
Thank you for information!👍
