Great start into the pond season – Interkoi + Aquaristics

This year we have been attending the Interkoi + Aquaristics show in Kalkar, Germany, again.

We showed selected microscopes on the JBL booth. The interest in microscopes has significantly grown since last year. As specialized veterinarians are scarce, they are regularly giving microscopy trainings and very much recommend owning a microscope. This is the only way for Koi lovers, breeders or dealers to react fast if there is a health problem in the pond. Waiting for a vet with a usually packed schedule can waist too much valuable time. This is why many visitors visited us to learn about recommended and affordable microscopes and camera systems. Using the possibilities of digital documentation, you are not alone when it comes to diagnosis. It is easy to share photos or videos with experts and ask for assistance. The interest in microscopy was further fanned by the article “Mikroskope für alle” (microscopes for everybody) which was written together with fish veterinarian Dr. Lechleiter and published in the KLAN Koi magazine. As it is, a good microscope costs less than a good Koi! Through our cooperation with the experts from JBL, visitors could get firsthand information about all Koi health related questions from JBL’s “Mr. Koi” Ronny Thorhauer. The Interkoi had many visitors, and the concept with Koi European Championship, Aquaristics, Bonsai, workshops and lectures has a lot to offer for a broad range of visitors from Germany and abroad. Framed by the “Wunderland Kalkar” with the silhouette of a never used nuclear power plant and a theme park , the Interkoi has something to offer for the whole family. The BRESSER team likes to thank JBL for the ongoing support, and we are looking forward to the next Interkoi on April 28.-29. 2018!

"Microscopes for everybody"

Microscopy has always been imprtant for Koi professionals. But is is not nearly the case, that each Koi owner has a microscope and knows how to use it. Unfortunately there are not enough specialized veterinarians available. This is why many vets offer microscopy trainings and workshops. During the JBL Open House in 2016, fish vet Dr. Sandra Lechleiter teached microscopy to more than 180 professionals – all courses were booked in no time. She was impressed by the performance and pricing of our BRESSER microscopes. She writes about this in the KLAN (Lower Rhine Koi Lovers club) magazine titled „Mikroskope für Alle“ (microscopes for everybody). Her goal, that every Koi owner has a good microscope at hand, has become realistic: When the first hesitation leaves, everybody can check for parasites in a skin scrape, document the results, and share it with experts. Microscopes for everybody – for beautiful and healthy fish!
