RE: koi lying on side

Hi Simon,
Sorry to hear that your fish is ill. I tried to email you but it didn't give a full email address when I clicked on the sign by the side of your name. As there is not a lot of activity on this site at the moment have you thought about going to Koivet where I am sure they can answer your question. I will also ask on my forum as I have some very knowledgeable people on there. You are welcome to come. It is www.the-horsfalls.co.uk/forum
I have used salt on previous occasions to revive my fish. Not table salt of course and at the moment I can't remember the exact quantity to use so must not advise you wrongly. That is why I said to try Koivet as they deal with all problems.
I haven't been feeding my fish for about a month now due to the colder weather but yesterday it had been much warmer for two days so I did give them a little.
I hope you get all the advise you need and your little Koi recovers.
Alison
