Snow can kill you Pond Fish! Rescue them!
Fish Ponds need oxygen to provide a life sustaining environment. All sorts of living things in the Pond use oxygen: The Pond Fish need to breathe and beneficial bacteria need oxygen to digest fish waste and decaying organic matter.
Oxygenating plants that normally provide some oxygen, will TAKE oxygen out of the water if suddenly deprived of light needed for photo synthesis.
Lack of oxygen is the # 1 Pond Fish Killer in Winter!
What can you do? Install an air pump to increase oxygen and sweep at least some areas of the pond free of snow so light can enter (never step on the frozen pond - the ice may not support you!)
Tip: Mark the snow covered Pond with a caution sign or flag to distinguish it from the surrounding landscape to prevent accidents! |

More results will be published in the next issue. |

Fun (Pond) Fact (TM)
Dragonflies and Damselflies are two different creatures!
Damselflies fly slower due to their wing shape, while Dragonflies do not have hinges to fold their wings but Damselflies do. |
