Cold Weather Supplies

In the fall, it is important to prepare and maintain your pond and fish for the winter ahead and to ensure your pond remains healthy for the following spring. You should remove any debris that has built up over the summer at the bottom of the pond and add bacteria to speed up the breakdown process. Pond netting will prevent leaves from polluting the pond during the fall months. When the water temperature drops below 60 degrees, you will want to switch the fish to a wheat germ food. Pond de-icers will maintain a small hole in the surface of the ice for oxygen exchange.
