Fall maintenance check! 🍂🔬 Before water temperatures drop too low for treatments to be effective, now is the ideal window to run a preventative parasite check on your outdoor ponds.
​Cooling fall water is prime time for opportunistic pests to pop up as fish metabolisms start to slow down. Staying ahead of the game is key to keeping your fish healthy through the seasonal shift!
​Here is what we recommend having in your maintenance toolkit:
🔹 Microbe-Lift Broad Spectrum Disease Treatment: A heavy-hitter for tackling external protozoan parasites, ich, and costia. ⚠️ Important reminder: Check your salinity! Your salt level needs to be at or below 0.15% to use Broad Spectrum safely. If your salt is running higher than that, you'll want to do a water change to bring it down before dosing.
🔹 Hikari PraziPro: Powered by praziquantel, this is our top choice for safely clearing out flukes and tapeworms without stressing your fish or harming your biofilter.
​Pro-Tip: Always check your water parameters and temperatures before treating, and make sure you have strong aeration running during any medication cycle!

Fall weather is officially making its move, and water temperatures are starting to split! 🍂🐠 Swipe through to see where our systems are sitting right now:
​🌡️ Outdoor Ponds (61.5°F): As things cool down into the low 60s, it's time to ease off heavy summer diets. We recommend shifting to Saki-Hikari Multi-Season or transitioning to Hikari Wheat-Germ for easy, highly digestible nutrition as digestion slows.
​🌡️ Inside the Shop (68.0°F): Inside systems are still holding steady at a warm-water sweet spot! We're currently running a custom mix of Saki-Hikari Color and Growth to keep metabolisms humming while maximizing body frame and pigment definition.
