I have my 4 Red Earred Slider turtles in an outdoor pond and all is
going well. However, I have tons of feeder fish and goldfish that have
taken over. I really only want my koi and my turtles and the pond
company sold me a product called Supraverm. It will kill the goldfish
and feeder fish and the koi aren't affected at all. This formula is
supposed to kill flukes on koi and the advantage to me is that it kills
the other fish.

## This sounds like BALONEY! If it kills goldfish it will surely harm the
koi in some way and who knows what else. Why not drain your pond down when
the GF are not breeding and simply REMOVE them with a fish-net or seine as
other's do? Rather than dump questionable chemicals into your pond use some
elbow grease and a net. Your other fish will love the water change! Mine
always do.

The BIG QUESTION.......will it harm my turtles? It is a mixture of
Closantel and Mebendazole.

## What if they eat the dead goldfish? Or what if the koi and other pond
critters do? Will you stay by the pond netting out all the dead fish as
they expire? I find that thought rather depressing.

Should I remove the turtles as a safeguard anyway? This is supposed to
kill the feeder and goldfish in 3 days and the koi will be fine.

Does anyone have any experience with this product?

Thanks!
Nancy
