Fish Care Tips for Winter
Cold temperatures suspend many activities
in the pond. Hybernating pond fish
have to cope with many problems.
Wound
healing, for example, is slowed significantly
and may even stop altogether. Cuts
or bruises may not heal until the
water warms up, leaving the fish vulnerable
to bacterial and/or parasitic infection.
The
immune system of pond fish is also
significantly reduced in water temperatures
below 63 degrees Fahrenheit.
It
is extremely important to keep the
water quality good during cold weather,
especially for Koi.
It
is best to act fast if you notice
the water quality is deteriorating
during the winter because too many
leaves got in the pond or other outside
influences. Cold weather bacteria
can help improve water quality, so
can adequate oxygenation. Helpful
items can be found here: Pond
Winterization

Fun (Pond) Fact
Frogs
cannot survive the winter buried in
mud at the bottom of the pond - their
need for oxygen is too high. They
will lay on top of the mud. You may
even see them swim around a little
on warmer days.
