Pond Tips
Once your water temperature reaches 50 degrees
or below you should begin to feed your fish wheat
germ food and remember to stop feeding your fish
when your water temperature reaches 40 degrees.
If you have fish in your pond you should add a
pond deicer. The pond deicer will keep an opening
in the ice which allows for oxygen exchange and
also allows harmful gasses to be released.
