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.

We have maintenance schedules for all ponds

As a small business we always endeavour to do our best to serve customers in a timely and patient manor. We have a wide loyal customer demographic and not all are able bodied. This may involve us helping them to their car. We can only apologise for the short wait.

We strive so hard to be the best at what we do , maybe only a review but it’s saddens us all at FISH AND BITS to read this .
We do have a sign to say if we’re going to be absent but on this day obviously wasn’t seen 😕

Why we do gift vouchers

You give a gift voucher to provide the recipient with the flexibility to choose something they truly want, avoid giving an unwanted gift, and offer a convenient option for the giver. Vouchers also allow the giver to show thoughtfulness without needing to know specific preferences, and they can be a good choice for last-minute or long-distance gifts, we can pop them in the post or you can pick up , we don’t date our vouchers use when you want 👍👍
