About Aqua Meds®

Aqua Meds® specializes in formulating effective koi health treatments and natural pond care solutions. From parasite control to beneficial bacteria, every product is crafted to support vibrant, healthy fish and clean, balanced ponds.

The Aqua Meds story began with founder Rick Hess, who launched one of the first online goldfish auction sites in the 1990s. When safe and effective medications weren’t available for his customers, Rick teamed up with a microbiologist to develop his own solutions—leading to the creation of the Aqua Meds line.

Rick’s dedication helped Aqua Meds grow into a trusted brand among hobbyists and professionals alike. In 2016, Rick passed the torch to Mark Bodycott, the founder of USA Koi.

Mark began his journey in the koi world much like many of you—with a backyard water garden. His passion turned into a profession, managing one of the East Coast’s largest koi stores before launching USA Koi and, later, acquiring Aqua Meds. With firsthand experience in pond management, fish care, and customer support, Mark ensures Aqua Meds continues to deliver reliable, well-researched solutions to koi keepers across the country.

Whether you’re dealing with water clarity issues, bacterial outbreaks, or seasonal transitions, Aqua Meds is here to help you keep your koi and pond in top shape.
