Is it ok for my pond to be frozen ??

No completely frozen pond is not okay for fish because it prevents oxygen from entering the water and traps harmful gases. To keep fish safe, you must create an opening in the ice to allow for gas exchange. You can do this by gently by using a pond heater or aerator to keep a section of the surface ice-free. Never break the ice by force, as the shockwaves can stress or kill the fish.

PLEASE CHECK

fish tank heater as the weather gets colder, you need to verify it is working correctly, set to the proper temperature for your fish species, and correctly placed in the tank for effective heat distribution.

How to Check Your Heater
Use an Accurate Thermometer: Do not rely on touch, as water that feels cool can still be warm enough for fish. Use a reliable aquarium thermometer (preferably two different types for verification) to get an accurate reading of the water temperature.

Verify the Heater is On: Most heaters have an indicator light that illuminates when the heating element is active. If the light is on but the water temperature is below the set value, the heater may be struggling to keep up with the cold room, or it could be malfunctioning.
At FISH AND BITS we sell eco heaters

Fish tank maintenance includes daily tasks like feeding and checking equipment, weekly tasks such as partial water changes (10-25%) and gravel vacuuming, and monthly tasks like cleaning the filter and testing water parameters for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and pH. Consistent maintenance helps prevent waste buildup and ensures a healthy environment for your fish.

What is wheatgerm and why do we recommend feeding pond fish wheatgerm in autumn?
Wheatgerm is the perfect autumn fish food—nutrient-rich, easy to digest, and gentle on your fish’s gut as water cools. It supports immune health, reduces waste, and prepares koi and goldfish for winter. Choose the right pellet type, protein level, and added vitamins to keep your fish healthy through the season.
We sell many varieties pop in and chat with us so we can advise right food for your fish

Lots of new plants in FISH AND BITS

Why add plants
Live plants are added to fish tanks to provide oxygen, filter water by absorbing ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites, and create a more natural and less stressful environment for fish. They also help control algae by competing for nutrients and can serve as a hiding place or food source for fish

Winter pond

Maybe Consider a preventative treatment for parasites or any lesions whilst temperatures remain high enough for medications to be effective.

Many fish losses in early spring are due to the rigours of winter and it’s often too late to fix these issues when they become apparent.

Towards the end of the month, raise pumps from the bottom of the pond to restrict turnover and ensure some undisturbed water at the deepest point of the pool where fishes can rest.

Before winter tightens its grip there will be a bit more maintenance to carry out next month.

Make sure you use a low temperature fish food. Fish will struggle to digest summer foods in cold water and this can lead to digestive problems. In some cases, undigested food will breakdown in the gut and cause bloating and buoyancy issues as spring comes.
