Winter is officially here and even though you prepped your pond in the fall, there a few necessary things to remember during the winter. 

Your fish will become more sluggish and dormant as the temperature in your pond drops, they require less protein and eventually begin to live off the fat they built up during the warm season.  In water temperatures below 65º F but above 42º F feed wheat germ based foods to your koi and goldfish, wheat germ is highly digestible and keeps ammonia excretion to a minimum.  We carry wheat germ brands such as Hikari, Microbe-Lift Legacy, and Hai Feng

Be sure to keep your pond oxygenated with an air pump and if your pond freezes during winter you will need to use a pond deicer to maintain a hole in the ice and allow toxic gasses to escape.  You also should feed your fish less at a lower protein level as water temperatures drop.

If you are keeping fish in your pond over winter, it is essential to have a de-icer. A de-icer will keep a hole in your pond to prevent it from completely freezing over, this provides a way for toxic wastes to escape and oxygen to enter. Use of an air pump throughout the winter will also help oxygenate the water.

Plants, fish, and equipment all have individual needs during the winter, remembering these important tips will help ensure a safe and healthy pond come spring.
