Does the ET Bird Control 2000 negatively affect fish, such as goldfish or koi?

It is totally useless.I bought it to prevent birds nesting in my porch & the birds fly around the device with gay abandon.

Have not had the bird control near any fish or koi. Works fine keeping birds out though

Yes it does and our gold fish are fine even with the temp @ -18 here in Wisconsin( we have a 55 gal 2 level pond)

I'm in Oklahoma and I generally stop feeding my koi in October and start again in April. I love this food but I'm not sure....I've always been told not to feed koi in the winter.

This has not worked for me. I have used it around my bird feeders and around my (Koi) pond but I have not found it has done a thing. I tried both the spray and the granules but neither was effective.

I'm a fan of the Emperor line of filters. I have goldfish in this tank and actually run two filters b/c goldfish are so gross. But I do love them and their cute personalities. I can't remember the name of the exact Emperor filters I'm using, but they use the "Rite Size E" filter cartridges. If you search on that, the Emperor filter that uses that size should come up. If you don't have goldfish, you should need only one filter this size. I think even the next size down is supposed to be able to handle up to 50 gallons. Note: In order to use the two filters, my husband had to cut me some extra space on this tank using a hand saw. But again, I only run two filters b/c I have goldfish in the tank, and I like crystal clear water. When I was was running only one filter, even with a sterilizer, there was still a slightly yellow tint to the water no matter what I did. I also like white gravel, and with one filter, the gravel got dirty very quickly and very often. In any case, I'm a fan of the Emperor line of filters and use them on all my tanks. It's only on this tank where I'm running two filters b/c goldfish are so messy! They are lucky they are so cute and have such gentle personalities. :-)

Can't imagine it not working for any bird. I have canaries and finches. They took to it instantly. Cuts down on the mess but not completely. I like that it helps keep their food clean. I have bought four of them, if that speaks for anything. I would definetly recommend it.

From what I understand, carbon is used more for tropical fish, where as zeolite is recommended for goldfish. One other thing I have learned is that if you have to use a medication on the fish you should remove the carbon filters as they will absorb the medicine.

I use a 50 watt with automatic temperature control. If goldfish do not need heater.

Could not see a difference with the fish. I purchased a solar blanket with a reel. Easy on and off. Makes a big difference.

It does not harm the fish at all if the directions are followed.I mix the aquatic herbicide in a sprayer then spray the weeds. I would definitely recommend it for killling above water weeds

Yes, but if it is a small goldfish use half a dose and slowly add the rest through the day. It will work but smaller fish have a hard time with it. Use 3/4 the dose of salt

Most likely not good tank mates, Comet goldfish get quite large, and Koi get even larger, unless they have many hiding places these little shrimp would probably become a meal. These shrimp are best kept with smaller tank mates, tetras (not buenos aires tetras) guppies, etc. or in a tank all by themselves

As far as I know, Messina Cat Stopper affects only cats. My experience shows that it does not affect birds or other wildlife. Its ingredients are completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

I put this in my small fish pond last year to control the algae. It did help keep the water clear. At the end of the season, you have to take it apart and clean it. Algae is controlled with the ultraviolet light which flows through a light tube. Nothing is perfect, but it did control the green algae growth better than doing nothing.

Filter is so good, I wouldn't worry. Maybe 100 for future change to larger tank. Gold fish don't have stomachs, I've been told, so I have lots of nye grass and othet consumable plants. Thus I feed my gold fish about once a week. Huge, 30 gal tank, cheep filter , but secrete is lots of plants.

I can't say for certain, but I would guess not. For more information I would go to the Tetra web site.
