Questions
Do I need to remove the koi when using these products
- No, just follow instructions.
Helpful?
Is this safe for red eared sliders?
- Should be fine. It’s basically barley powder and dissolves pretty fast. It is safe for koi and goldfish so can’t see why it wouldn’t.
Helpful?
Will this safe for cherry shrimps, fancy guppies, snails? Is this all natural bacteria? Can I use in 300 gallon aquariums?
- I don't know. We have a koi pond, about 4000 gallons and also mosquito fish which I think are like guppies and seem to be ok when not eaten by Koi. Does help clean up pond.

Is this product safe for pets? My dogs like to drink out of my pond.
- Hi PondPets, Yes, all of the API products are ok if any wildlife or domestic animals come by for a drink or swim in treated water, as long as you dose it correctly.

i put algaefix in my 3000 gal pond today when should I add pond zyme
- ChgoMan, Thank you for your question. You can use any of the API products in conjunction with each other as long as you are dosing the products accordingly to the label. You do not need to wait a specific amount of time before adding the Pond Zyme to your pond after adding the Algae Fix.

how long will it take to clear up my 16 x 8 pond?
- Thank you for your question. This product will begin to work immediately but the source of your algae growth will also need to be addressed as well. We have provided a link to an article below we recommend you review.

Can I leave my uv filter on when using the sludge remover
- Thank you for your question. We would recommend that you turn your UV Filter off for about 12-24 hours after treating the pond with the Pond Zyme.

Is this product good to use in a natural pond? I have a 30' x 120' x 6' deep pond and need something to help with the sludge from fish and leaves. .
- Thank you for your question. This product is safe for use in a natural pond. Directions for use are available on the more information tab.

Can this be used in a pond that does not have fish or a pump to make the water clear & also remove sludge & algae?
- Thank you for your question. The PondCare Pond-Zyme with Barley is made to break down debris and sludge that clogs up pumps and filters, however it should still work without having a pump.
Helpful?
Can I use Pond Zymo with Barley if a have snails in the pond?
- Absolutely. Barley is just a plant. Enzymes occur naturally in any pond. This just kick starts the process of breaking down gunk. Wont hurt snails one bit.

Can I use copper sulfate in my pond if my dogs drink the water?
I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle. It's been four weeks now the ammonia us back to zero so is nitrite zero BUT my nitrates are now spiked about 80 and the water is cloudy. Did 2 partial water changes over the last 8 days. Will a UV sterilizer help ?? Please advise. Thanks Lina
My pond goldfish had swim bladder issues so has been inside for 6 weeks. He was pretty active and I brought in another to keep him company. Since Feb 1st, he is at the bottom, eating a bit especially when I drop it right in from of him. No external signs of any disease that I can seen. Nitrites are high as tank is cycling. I am adding Prime, aquarium salt (1 gram) and 30% water changes. Nitrite converting bacteria is establishing now. Any thought on what it could be and what to do? Thank you
Good morning, How do I use the acclimation guide for pond fish? If i quarantine them for 2 weeks how do I introduce them to the actual pond they will live in? Thank you
Hello! I purchased a male koi betta from a Petco two days ago. He is currently living in a two gallon filtered aquarium. Yesterday I noticed him laying on the floor of the aquarium, but I assumed he was just sleeping. Today when I woke up he was covered in a sort of fuzzy substance, which I assume to be fungus, and still laying on the floor of the aquarium. Sometimes he will get up and swim around. I want to do something to prevent him from dying, but I don't know what to do. Please help!
I have a pond in with my water dragon with a activated carbon filter. Is it safe for him to drink? I also used a water conditioner from petco. He is very lethargic and not eating.
All of my fish died after using a product purchased at Petco called ACUREL-F. How do I get their water safe to put in new fish?
I noticed bloat in my flowerhorn about two weeks ago. It was there when I fed him and went away when I didn't. So I treated him with Epsom salt soaked pellets, bloat was present then. Then I noticed white poop so I stopped feeding entirely and added metronidazole 400 to the tank. Didn't work as I only saw white poop, so I added the medication into his food and now I can see brown poop hanging from a clear poop sticking out of his butt. Earlier the poop didn't stick out of his butt. What to do?
i have a healthy, 11 year old, 12 lb Yorky who is on a regular diet, We have a new lawn, and her urine is killing the lawn. NaturVet puts out a GrassSaver soft chew and biscuit enzyme supplement that is suppose to help keep the lawn green. Should I have any concerns about giving this to my dog i as long as the correct dosage is used?
Hello, all my koi fish are becoming sick. They're demonstrating a behavior called flashing. No, they don't have visible parasites like anchor worm or fish lice so it had to a disease. Their fins are also getting torn up. They die from slowly becoming more and more inactive. Do you have any products that can help fight against this.
Have 60 gal tank with 2 largish Ryukin goldfish, doing well together in this tank for several months. I added 3 times different smaller Ryukin from different sources, acclimated by floating bag method, put in the tank with the larger Ryukin. All new fish died within 3-5 days, w/ signs of swim bladder problem - not remaining upright, then dies. Water tests all zeros, using Safe, API proper ph 7.5 & bacteria. Temp 78. Tank cleaned often.. Eat soaked Hikari sinking mini pellets, peas. Ideas?
I have two gold fish that live in a 55 gal tank. The water is clear, but brown starts to accumulate on the inside of the glass, and on the ornaments in the tank. I have been using a few different water treatments, the water is clear. I use a sponge tank scrapper to get it off of the glass, but the ornaments are all covered with brown. Is there a fish or something else that would clean that stuff up?
