Hi Nigel i have never used it but if it is the stuff i think you are on about it is deadly stuff i know a few people that have used it and they lost some fish in the £1000+ so i would stay clear

Is this the stiff you are on about Garden ponds | Fish pond | Koi pond | Hydra International

If so have a read of this:• View topic - pond clear

you will find it very help full but if your water is cloudy you need to find out why befor adding chemicals to clear it can you let us know what it is you are having trouble with

Just to resurrect this post,,,, i was wondering if anyone knows of any stockists in the Chelmsford(ish) area that stock Koi Clear? Someone that i trust infintely recommended it to treat my Showas tail and i wanted to try it?

Hiya Lisa

There is some in the fridge doing nothing, there if you need it.

Great stuff, I get mine from Malcolm at KWG not at all sure if anyone local stocks it.

That would be great thank-you Dave! Will give you some money or buy you some more whichever is easiest for you. Really want to treat this showa again asap, strange spot/growth on his tail that doesn't look like carp pox, looked for all the world like dermo (according to duncs book anyway, but it can be hard to tell from a picture). Treated it by cutting out the top layer of cyst (contents were like pus from zit), careful not to allow any to touch any other part of koi. Wound then cleaned with hp, roccal, merchurochromed, orahesive and finally sealed with lock n seal. Allowed to dry and koi returned - looked a good job but spot grew back within 2 days spot back! Koi treated similarly a second time but without the hp. Now spot back again after 2 or 3 days, but worried a bit of tail rot setting in now. Can't mess round this time - gotta get it right, so either pp paste in spot and malachite on tail edges or koi clear? Annoying thing is we have done really well with the 1 or 2 koi that have needed treating recently. The chagoi that tried to decapitate itself is 99% healed and the ochiba looks great now too; albeit after about 10 weeks in the hospital vat, in ct and salt, at 27 degrees. So to see this spot grow back on the showas tail within 2 or 3 days of treating it, is really demoralising!

Hi Lis

Need a pic.

Off the wall - anything like the blob on the tail of this one? This was spawning damage both the tail tube and the tail itself.
