We are discontinuing Koizyme from our product line, not because we do not think the product has merit but low sales do not justify keeping it in stock. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Everyone in Koi and pond keeping knows that the biggest killer of fish is the dreaded Aeromonas - especially in the spring and summer period. Ulcer Disease kills thousands of Koi each year, and until now, Koi and fish keepers have been relatively helpless. There are, of course, loads of medications and potions all claiming to eradicate this or cure that, but they are all chemicals or antibiotics. While some work, they all have risks since they are all essentially chemicals. So who wants to put chemicals into their fish pond if it can be avoided? And wouldn't it be better to prevent the illness in the first place?

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.

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

KoiZyme contains no chemicals, no medications and no antibiotics of any kind. It is a proprietary, internationally patented organic preparation of non-pathogenic bacteria, enzymes and micro-nutrients, and it works on the established principle of an accepted scientific process widely known in commercial aquaculture management called Competitive Exclusion.

KoiZyme - the pro-biotic that effectively prevents Ulcer Disease.

To learn more about KoiZyme and Competitive Exclusion please read the article written by Nigel Caddock & Tom Lansing.

KoiZyme is a biological formula of naturally occurring bacteria, enzymes and micro nutrients. When KoiZyme is introduced into pond water that is infected with Aeromonas, Pseudomonas or any gram negative or gram positive bacteria, the bacteria and enzymes in KoiZyme competes with these pathogens for the nutrients in the pond water. These nutrients are primarily a nitrogen based nutrient from fish waste. KoiZyme 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 our fish.

Tom Holder of Koi Care Kennel, has written a wonderful article entitledUnderstanding Pathogenic Bacteria, which you can read here. There is some great terminology in this article that will hopefully help you to visualize the relationship between pathogenic bacteria and koi health. We had the pleasure of meeting Tom Holder and heard him speak at the AFKAPS regarding this topic, it's worth passing along.
