I currently have a Aeromonas problem, should I increase the Lymnozyme dosage and is that safe to do?
We strongly recommend that you double the dosage rate if you have a existing Aeromonas problem. By doubling the dosage rate, you will speed up the rate that the Lymnozyme will consume the bad “nutrients” from the pond water, thus starving out the Aeromonas sooner. It is almost impossible to overdose with Lymnozyme. I have dosed my hospital tank, with 9 Koi in it, at the rate of 200ml (over 6 oz.)/1,000 gallons for a period of three weeks with no affect on the fish or the biofilter. Also, by increasing the dosage rate during an existing Aeromonas problem, Lymnozyme bacteria will displace the Aeromonas bacteria off the ulcer or infected area of the fish. You will see the infected area start to “white over” soon after treatment is started. BUT, let me say this, if the ulcer is in an advanced state (into the “meat” of the fish), you should treat that fish with antibiotics because most likely that Aeromonas bacteria has gotten into it’s bloodstream.
