MICROBE-LIFTBroad Spectrum Disease Treatment for Ponds and Outdoor Water Garden, Safe for Live Koi Fish, Goldfish, Plants, and Decor, 32 Ounces

I lost my 5 large goldfish to a hungry heron! These fish were the descendents of the original fish I bought 15 years ago and were very healthy. I restocked my pond with several small goldfish/shubunkins but one by one they died even though tests showed the water to be excellent quality. So I figured there must be some disease/parasites in there that my old fish were immune to and these new guys were not. I ordered this product and followed the directions - halfway emptied the pond, refilled and added the treatment (2x, 12 hours apart). I'm relieved to say that all the new fish are happy and healthy! In case you haven't already read, be careful handling this blue solution, it will stain.

We had an outbreak of hemorrhagic septicemia and lost a few fish before I got this. Daily treatment with this and consistent water changes saved the remaining fish.

We had a parasite issue that seemed to go away after losing three fish in succession in the old pond. When we put them in a temporary holding tank while remodeling and expanding the pond, all was well... until it wasn’t about a month in. Everyone was flashing and rubbing and off their feed, and two died. Because they had plants in the tank along with a cave, it was hard to catch the signs earlier. So we gave this a go, made easier by the known water quantity in the holding tank vs. the unknown quantity in the original pond that made me too afraid to dose it. BTW a hose meter is counting the gallons as we fill the new pond... a great investment of less than $20. We changed out half the water in the holding tank and watched our fish trying to rid themselves of the problem- It was frustrating to watch them suffer,medication in hand, while adding the new water (big temp difference between the tank and hose water) in small batches to avoid stressing them with much colder water. I did mix the prescribed dose into a bucket of water before adding to their water. In the morning only a couple still looked bothered, and within 24 hrs no deaths and no more flashing. I repeated the treatment, and will do so again one more time to ensure we’re done with parasites before they go to their brand new pond. So, if we had to pick a time to go thru these problems, the timing couldn’t have been better. I intend to treat them with prazi (in all new water) in the new pond to treat for any flukes or intestinal worms they may be carrying to complement the progress made with this product. Thanks for the great product, it is such a relief to see my friends happily swimming about.

Kills those parasites

Works ok, but expensive for large ponds.

I have goldfish (Orandas and Ranchus). I have a 10 gallon hospital/quarantine tank, a 150 gallon indoor tank and a 110 gallon patio pond. I brought home a new goldfish and put her in the 10 gallon for quarantine. Within 2 days the new fish was dead and I must have cross contaminated my other tanks somehow (guessing from my hands).... and 1 day after the new fish died other fish started dying in my other tanks. I tried MANY different medicines including copper based meds. Fish kept dying in the 150 and the 110! I ordered this medicine out of desperation and it WORKED! I figured out I was dealing with Chillodonela. I lost 10 fish in 3 days. But as soon as I started this medicine, there were no more deaths. I'll always have this medicine on hand.

I had one of my 10 year old Koi that was very lethargic and bloated to the point we were waiting for the poor guy to explode. Every thing I read online said he was as good as dead. I put 2 doses in 24 hour period of this in pond before leaving on a trip expecting to come home to a dead fish. Nope, he was not bloated and swimming around normal. When I put this in the pond now the fish gravitate to the waterfall and bask in the blue water. I’m now using twice a week for maintenance.

After noticing several fish in different aquariums with the same symptoms I began to look around for medications to treat them. Tried two first, but there was no improvement then I tried Microbe Lift and on the second round of treatment it had cured my fish. So happy to see them behaving normally again. I worked out the dosage using a conversion app Fl oz - ml and gallons - liters. For smaller tanks you should dose 1ml for each 37.85l of water. Only one suggestion really and that would be a smaller size bottle maybe 2 Fl oz for aquarium fish keepers. Great product though, would recommend.
