KoiZyme

Koi Zyme is a biological formula of naturally occurring bacteria, enzymes and micro nutrients. It contains no chemicals, no medications and no antibiotics of any kind.

KoiZyme will not kill the bacteria that has already infected your fish but it will allow quicker healing and reduce the chance of a secondary infection occuring by keeping the bad bacteria out of the water.

When used as directed, it reduces the threat caused by Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathogenic bacteria. In reality it is impossible to remove 100% of Aeromonas and Paseudomonas bacteria from the pond water. The levels of Aeromonas and Paseudomonas will be low enough that your Koi will not become infected when they scrape their slime coat or become stressed.

ONLY Koi Zyme has Micro Nutrients. This provides a food source for the good bacteria that keeps them active until used in your pond.

When a Koi gets a wound, the “bad” bacteria consume the dead cells around the wound. They do not eat healthy cells... only the dead cells. The problem is the bacteria emit as a waste product—a toxin—that kills whatever cell it comes in contact with. Therefore, as it eats a dead cell, its toxin kills the next cell so it has more food and can reproduce and on and on.

Koi Zyme is a relatively new product that is bacterial in nature. It is safe to handle, not caustic, does not cause undue stress, and impossible to overdose. It is simply a bottle of safe bacteria.

It also eats the dead cells but give off a waste product that is not toxic and does not kill the next cell in line. These “good” bacteria compete with the bad bacteria. They do such a good job of it, the bad bacteria simply starve to death.

When it is introduced into pond water that is infected with Aeromonas, Pseudomonas or any gram negative or gram positive bacteria, the bacteria and enzymes in Koi Zyme competes with these pathogens for the nutrients in the pond water. These nutrients are primarily a nitrogen based nutrient from fish waste. It will consume these nutrients and thus starve Aeromonas and Psuedomonas. The bacteria counts (CFU's) of these pathogens will then be reduced to such a low level that they will not have an affect on your fish.

There are a number of tricks for protecting Koi such as feeding them immune system enhancing food, but the one that seems to work the best is the use of Koi zyme.

What would you give to have a totally natural non chemical organic method of reducing the levels of pathogenic bacteria in your system with ZERO negative impact on Koi or the vital life giving nitrifying bacteria in your filter?

When used as directed, it will reduce the bacterial count of Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathnogenetic bacteria to such low levels that they will not be a threat to the health of your fish.

It is impossible to completely remove the Aeromonas and Pseudomonas bacteria from the pond water, but KoiZyme, when used on a regular weekly basis, will keep the Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and other pathogens levels so low, they will not affect the fish.

Below is an excerpt from a post Richard E. Carlson made on the AKCA web board. The question was related to the use of Lymnozyme (KoiZyme) on fish already infected with an aeromonas bacteria infection:

First, every pond has aeromonas bacteria.. it is a fact of life. They typically only become a problem when the fish are stressed or weakened by something else. Consider them opportunistic, if you will, as they are looking for open wounds caused by injury or parasites, flukes, etc. Lymnozyme reduces the number of aeromonas bacteria by exclusion, in that it competes with the food source of the aeromonas, which is an element of the fish's feces.

Lymnozyme (Koi Zyme) stays in effect for about four days in your pond, so you can see that its addition reduces the aeromonas count quickly. The most opportune time to use it is when you suspect that your fish are stressed by bad water, parasites, flukes, etc. and susceptible to infection.

Lymnozyme is effective down to about 45° F.
