Sudden Fish Death in Summer
We
get many emails and calls from Pond
Owners who suddenly, without apparent
reason, find some or all of their
Pond Fish are dead. Usually this happens
with Koi, and often with the oldest
and biggest ones!
There
are, of course, many reasons why Pond
Fish could suddenly die. The usual
cause in the summer is oxygen depletion,
though. Fish need to extract oxygen
from the water (using their gills)
to live. The larger the Pond Fish
(and Koi are generally the largest
Pond Fish) the more oxygen they need.
But...The warmer the Pond Water, the
less oxygen it can store.
It
is very important to provide adequate
aeration and to make sure the pond
is not overstocked with fish (in case
the electricity goes out).
Aeration
can be provided with Waterfalls, Fountains
and Air Pumps. The PondMarket carries
a complete line of these essential
products: Pond Pumps
For
short term emergencies (lack of electricity)
it is sometimes enough to throw a
few bags of ice in the water to cool
it so it can store more oxygen.

Fun (Pond) Fact(TM)
Koi
can and will make eye contact with
pond owners who take the time to tame
them. Koi can see in color, but they
are short sighted with vision being
sharp for only about 3 to 6 feet.
