    Armor™ Treats Damaged Koi Slime Coat and Scales

    Aqua Meds Armor

    Use Armor™ when you see any damage to the scales or slime coat of your koi or pond fish.

    Note: The slime coat on your koi and pond fish is like a suit of armor. It protects your fish from harmful bacteria in your pond water entering the fish’s body. When the slime coat becomes damaged, your fish are at risk for serious ulcers, body sores, and other bacterial infections.

    Armor™ will also remove chlorine and heavy metals from your pond water.

    • What causes scale and slime coat damage to koi?
    • Flashing: rubbing on the rocks and sides of your pond
    • Parasites: one of the main causes of scale and slime coat damage
    • Netting and handling: every time you net or handle your fish you disturb their slime coat
    • Breeding activity: chasing and brushing against rocks and pond walls can damage the slime coat
    • Shipping and transport: bagging and shipping koi can cause stress and slime coat damage
  • Armor Instructions

    Directions & Dosage

    Standard Dose: Use 5 mL (1 teaspoon) per 20 U.S. gallons (75 L) of pond water.

    • Estimate your pond volume or the amount of new water being added.
    • Shake bottle well before each use.
    • Add the correct amount of Armor to a bucket or container of tap water, stir, then slowly pour around the pond or into the return flow.
    • If dosing directly to the pond, add in an area of strong circulation.

    Quick Dosage Guide (Standard Dose)

    • 100 gallons – 25 mL (approximately 1 fl oz)
    • 500 gallons – 125 mL (approximately 4 fl oz)
    • 1,000 gallons – 250 mL (approximately 8 fl oz)

    When to Use Armor

    • Starting up a new pond or quarantine tank
    • During water changes or when topping off with tap water
    • When adding new koi or pond fish
    • After netting, handling, transporting, or injecting fish
    • Any time fish show damaged slime coat, frayed fins, or signs of stress

    High Chlorine / Heavy Use Situations

    • In areas with very high chlorine or chloramine levels, the dosage can be safely increased or repeated up to 5× the standard dose.
    • Monitor fish closely; if any stress is observed, increase aeration and perform a small partial water change.

    Measuring Tips

    • The bottle cap (on most sizes) holds approximately 5 mL when filled level, which equals 1 teaspoon.
    • Use multiple capfuls for larger ponds, or a marked measuring cup for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

See below for frequently asked questions regarding Aqua Meds about products

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
