Pond Winterization; Cool Weather Fish Food and Pond Netting

Your Fish & Your Pond need Your Help digesting...Fun (Pond) Fact

Pond Fish are "cold blooded", which means their body cannot regulate its own temperature. Their body temperature depends on the environment they live in!
When the water they swim in gets colder their body functions slow down. This includes their ability to digest.
They also do not have stomachs! Their digestion is entirely done with their colon, which is slowed by their lower body temperature.
Feeding the wrong kind of Pond Fish Food  once this happens can lead to severe digestive problems including impaction and even death of the fish (with no apparent outward signs of distress).
Cool weather Pond Fish Food contains easily digested vegetable matter (wheat germ and/or spirulina) to prevent this from happening.

Keep the Leaves out and your Fish safe! Cover your Pond !

Fun (Pond) Fact (TM)

Oxygenating Plants will TAKE oxygen OUT
of the Pond when it is dark outside
(or the Pond is covered with ice and snow)!
Photosynthesis (the process that lets plants
produce oxygen) does not work without the sun.
