Fall & Winter

SITUATION |
SOLUTION |
|
Pond activity slows with the drop
in water temperature |
As temperatures get colder, the
metabolism of fish slows considerably. Gradually
reduce feedings until the water temperature
falls below 50F (10C). In their dormant state,
fish stop eating and use the nutrients stored in
their bodies to survive until spring. During the
winter, fish and plants need little or no care
or feeding. However, if ice forms, make sure you
maintain a breather hole so oxygen is available
and carbon dioxide can escape. Continue to make
regular 25% water changes with
Pond Start®
and Pond Ammonia Chloramine Remover™ as
needed. |
