I was having a problem with our koi fish and determining how to treat it. I went to a 'koi pond' specialist on the west side who will remain nameless. Instead of 'helping' me I felt they just wanted to take advantage of the fact that I was a little clueless and desperate since I didn't want to loose my fish. They charged me $25 to do a 'scale test' so they could tell me I had Chilodonella and sold me 5 lbs of salt for $5. When I called to tell her the salt treatment wasn't working and was trying to get some questions answered she said to come back in and do another scale test for another $25....that seemed ridiculous to me and then I remember Aquarium Arts. They had helped me out many years ago when I had fresh water fish.
I went down there spoke to one of the guys, he took his time and answered ALL my questions for FREE , what a concept! We put our heads together and agreed that an FMG (QuickCure) treatment might do the trick....so basically for less than $3 I fixed the problem. If you ever have a problem with your fish these guys are great at answering all questions and pretty knowledgeable. I am definitely making sure that in the future I support this mom n pop business!
