What kind of salt can I put into my Koi pond?

Question

Is it just seasalt or just the regular store bought one?

Answer 1

I wouldn't suggest using salt in a Koi pond as a regular water additive. It can be very useful for treating certain diseases, but the Kio will not benefit from the salt. When using salt for disease treatment kosher salt is a good choice unless you have a huge pond in which case agricultural salt purchased by the ton at a feed store would be the best idea.

Answer 2

no no no- be careful-
food salts are WAY to strong for the fish- iodized=bad

the kind they sell at aquarium stores - it should say that it's fine for koi right on the box- plus it's fairly cheap- a coupla' bucks probably- read these articles
salt might wipe out the plants and algea
koi can handle a certain level of parasites as they have like since forever...

best-

just google: koi care-

loads of info on the internet

Answer 3

aquarium salt.
NEVER use household table salt iodized or not. Aquarium salt can be bought at any pet store and even walmart carries it.
