Always a pleasure to go to Champion Nishikigoi to pick up koi food for our koi pond. The staff is friendly and helpful. They always load the heavy bags of koi food in my car.

PondMax MediMAX: Bacterial Control for Koi, 8 oz Dry
PondMax MediMAX: Bacterial Control for Koi, 8 oz Dry
PondMax MediMAX is a dry treatment for bacterial problems in pond fish — the fin rot, open sores and ulcers that follow a stressful spring or a spell of poor water quality.
What it does
- Controls and prevents bacterial infections
- Helps repair fin rot and ulcers
- Used by keepers against bacterial gill disease and open sores
Dosage
- Dissolve 1 oz (30 mL) in dechlorinated water for every 600 gallons to be treated, then add to the pond.
- Remove filter media before treating and leave it out for the 24-hour treatment period, then put it back.
- The 8 oz pack treats up to 4,800 gallons.
Before you dose
PondMax does not publish the active ingredient for MediMAX — the safety data sheet lists it only as a proprietary mixture. If your fish are on another medication, or you need to know the active for veterinary reasons, contact us and we'll get it from PondMax rather than guess.
Keep out of reach of children. May irritate eyes and skin.
Why buy from ChampKoi?
ChampKoi has kept koi healthy from our San Jose, California facility since 1998. Ulcers have several causes and the treatment differs — send us photos before you dose.
