Belexy: **Wanna correct dat 2 sachet of 1Kg salt i wrote**
Meant to say 2 sachet of 500gm salt and dats 1kg.
**pls take note**

Belexy: Dnt put excessive amount of salt in ur pond or else u will av to do pepper soup with all ur 250fishes. Put enough to make d water very slightly salted. I usually leave my fishes in the salt and NCO water for abt an hour before i top it up. My treatment regime lasts 3days. Ur tank is small so a heaped table spoon of NCO shd be okay for the quantity of fish u av, and two sachets of 1kg salt. Apply d first sachet and observe ur fishes. Gradually apply d second sachet of salt and observe dem incase of any 'funny' reactions.
Remember not to feed dem.
K.thank u all for the assistance.


Fill d tank to d barest minimum dat will just cover d fishes but dey will be able to swim or fill the tank to a level dat will get up to ur ankle assuming u are standing in d tank.

ultrazone: 5-7kg of salt/1000 litres of water is ideal. To get a more uniform treatment, dissolve in a bucket of water first. Remember to suspend feeding for a period of 2-3 days during this treatment.

ultrazone: Certain bacterial infections damage internal organs causing fluid to accumulate in the fish belly leading to a condition known as Dropsy. Antibiotic treatment can be given through feed or inside the pond water. Mix small quantity of NCO, Salt and Potassium Permaganate (PG). (Ashes can replace PG in earthen ponds). Drain the pond water to level barely covering the fish. Sprinkle the mixture over the pond water covering everywhere. Leave them for about 30mins, then start introducing fresh water. Fast your fish for 48hrs and introduce feed to them gradually. I'm sorry I can't get you the recommended dosages (NCO dosage is on the satchet). I just do what works for me. Professionals here can help both of us with that.

ultrazone: NCO is a combination of three antibiotics (Neomycin, Chloramphenicol and Oxytetracycline). Alternatively, you can use tetracycline (may be prepared as oxytetracycline) because it another broad spectrum antibiotic.
