Pond Water Treatments and Testing

Shirley Aquatics also have a range of fish and pond treatments including bacterial filter starters, fish medications, water conditioners and much more from brands such as NT Labs, Blagdon and Kusuri.

Water testing is an important part of fish keeping as it is the first line of defense in treatment of health issues in ponds. The overwhelming majority of health problems in fish are triggered by poor water parameters and testing will reveal whether this is the case and also where the issue lies. Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate are the three most important things to check, followed by pH and then KH. All of these things can adversely affect your fish. Poor water quality will render any treatment useless

Once water quality is deemed safe and appropriate, treatments will make short work of many health problems. A fully stocked medicine cupboard will mean that you’re never caught short when there is an outbreak or just one very poorly fish.
