About KoiDoc

KoiDoc offers a full range of professional koi health and pond care services. Every service is delivered on-site at your property.

KoiDoc was founded on a straightforward belief: koi deserve proper medical attention from people who understand them.

With roots in the South African koi industry going back to 2001, we have spent more than two decades refining our diagnostic and treatment methods. What started as a passion for ornamental fish grew into a dedicated practice that now serves koi keepers, breeders, and retailers across the region.

How We Work

Every engagement begins at your pond. We bring professional-grade equipment to your property for a thorough evaluation:

Water parameter testing covers ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, and temperature — the fundamentals that dictate fish health. A microscopic scraping from affected koi identifies which pathogens are present, whether parasitic, bacterial, or fungal. Based on our findings, we outline a clear treatment protocol and guide you through each step.

We do not sell quick fixes or guess at diagnoses. Our approach is methodical, transparent, and grounded in real-world experience across hundreds of ponds.
