Welcome to Koivet.com Our new site is positioned on a server that we believe to be robust enough to handle our capacity. Koivet has been around for more than ten years, dispensing informative and sometimes even entertaining content about Koi and pond fish health. Most of our content is provided from the real life experiences of Dr Erik Johnson, a noted fish veterinarian. Quite a good bit of information on other websites is written by angry little men who don't even have fish...This is not what this site is about. Koivet is home to many resources including the legendary Message Board This site is a dynamic work, which will have more and more content as time permits. We appreciate your patience, and the time you spend learning ways to care for your pond fish pets as well as possible. |

Koivet is paid for out of personal funds by Dr. Erik Johnson. The site is administered by Dr. Johnson and most of the content is written (or has been written) by him. A tremendous amount of help comes from the people who moderate the Koi Message Board. This is where the most recent, and pertinent help can come from. This is a live forum with thousands of members who are there to learn, and teach. Their qualifications vary. But our moderators do what they can to prevent misinformation from being presented. Always, behavior on the message board is filtered by three parameters: - Is it true?
- Is it respectful?
- Is it what Koivet "is for"?
On the message board you must show respect for all participants or you will be banned. It's perfectly okay to disagree with people, as long as it's done in a mature fashion, with due respect. And since it is Koivet's board, by Dr. Erik Johnson, if you don't respect Dr Johnson, you may as well go to boards which are designed for disrespectful people without the short stay at Koivet. |

Koivet has a blog. Well, who doesn't? The Koivet blog will be touched up every so often. Check back weekly, I figure we can update it at least that much. What you will find in the blog are notes about additions to the web site and also various thoughts and ideas being shared with the Koivet community. Don't get bent, if the blog has personal content. I am opinionated [Dr Johnson] and I share these sometimes. |

Two separate web sites will be incorporated into the Koivet site content. The original content of PondCrisis.com and KoiCrisis.com will become subdirectories of Koivet. This is to make it VERY easy for people to find their way into these two, important diagnostic services. These are free resources. PondCrisis.com's information is intended to take you through an ENVIRONMENTAL evaluation. It asks you a series of basic questions IN ORDER, to guide you through the proper identification of factors that set your pond or tank up for disease outbreaks. Disease, is a MASSIVELY environmental condition! KoiCrisis is a place to scope out various symptoms, and answer basic questions about the medications and things you could do to remedy the conditions you find. We welcome this information and these directories in our web site. |

I'm pleased to recommend PondRx to you for your needs when disease strikes. Medicine is NO substitute for the correct identification of an environmental issue. Most disease conditions are triggered by the environment. Often the environment contains disease causing organisms. And these organisms, whether viruses, bacteria or parasites can do a LOT of damage in a short period of time. Making a diagnosis is important, and then deploying effective medicine can save lives. PondRx was formed to provide a FEW GOOD MEDICINES. You might notice some fish medicine sites that have a hundred catalog numbers for meds. This is sad because only a few basic medications are even needed, and a "large selection" of medicines to the hobbyist is only a good way to discover ones that don't work. It's a shame. When we developed PondRx product line, we included just the stuff you need, just the stuff that works. So it had 32 catalog numbers. Thirty two items when it opened. I think it still has about that many items. It's really simple and we made it easy. For most medicines, there's a complete "How To Use It" brochure that leaves no question unanswered. PondRx - my recommendation for fish medicines. (Heck I wrote most of their brochures!) |
