For specialised Koi treatment it is recommended that you use:

'Formaldehyde'

formaldehyde 30% is effective against protozoan parasites and flukes.  It treats flukes by penetrating mucus and reaching the parasites that would otherwise be protected from other bath treatments.  Formaldehyde can be used as a dip bath to treat severe cases quickly.

'F- M-G mixture'

F-M-G has been formulated to provide the Koi keeper with a ready mixed formalin and malachite green preparation which gives the same treatment levels of formalin and malachite green as you would get by using the separate components according to the instructions.

a true Koi product that should not be used where other species of fish are present

'Permanganate dip'

Potassium Permanganate solution is a powerful antiseptic and anti-parasitic agent.  It can be used as a swab to clean ulcers or as a impressive bath treatment.
