Peer reviewed studies have been done on the inclusion of montmorillonite clays in pet and animal feeds and they have concluded that there are clear benefits.
Clays have been used in Koi ponds for years. To administer a dose the clay is measured into a bucket, pond water is added and then whisked up vigorously. The bucket is then dumped into the pond. The pond water will quickly cloud. Over a period of hours the fine clay particles attract other particles and form small clumps which will eventually settle to the bottom of the pond. This flocculation process sharpens up the water. The small clumps are consumed by the fish and pass through the digestive system.
With repeated use you will see your fish develop a healthy luster on the skin and vibrant colours. You cannot overdose a pond on Clay but it is unlikely that excessively high doses of clay will have significant additional benefits. You don’t have to use a lot of it to really get a benefit. A 1Kg bag will service a 1000 gallon pond for half a year. If you follow the recommendation outlined on the packaging.
If you need any further assurance then think about how how good the Japanese Koi look when they have spent the summer in a mud pond. Say no more.
