🌞Hurrah the sun is out 🌞
Now the weather is getting warmer and hopefully it's here to stay 🙏 🌞
🔥Here are several ways to mange your pond during hot weather🔥
💧Oxygenating💧
🕰Running equipment 24hr🕰
😎 Shade 😎
🍽 Cut back on Feeding 🍽

💧Oxygen 💧
Is really important in a fish pond especially when it's getting hotter, the warmer the water gets the less oxygen it holds.
As water temperature rises, the metabolism of our goldfish, koi and other pond fish increases, meaning they breathe more rapidly and breathing also produces ammonia.
More oxygen getting into the pond will help bring those ammonia levels down and keeping you pond well oxygenated by constant water movement via air pumps, airstones and making sure your filters and pond pumps are well maintained, ensuring they are running smoothly.

🕰 24hr a day 🕰
We recommend running your pond equipment 24hrs a day especially during hot weather.
Water circulation via air pumps , filters and pond pumps are essential for keeping temperatures low and keeping oxygen levels high.
Another reason is your pond plants will be taking oxygen at night therefore depleting oxygen for the fish.
The more we can keep Oxygenating the better 😀

😎 Shade 😎
Creating Shade will help keep the water temperatures down, there is also a added benefit for Shading a pond, it helps to control unwanted algae!
A combination of marginal, deep water and floating plants will not only reduce light streaming through the water but will also soak up the nutrients which algae uses to bloom.

🍽 Cut back on Feeding 🍽
Fish are more active during warmer weather and summer, be careful and dont be tempted to overfeed.
Overeating when it's hot equals excretion of more ammonia from the gills due to breathing more rapidly as they demand more oxygen.

👋We are more than happy to help you with any advice or help with your pond, pop in and have a chat with us 😀

🦠Did you know🦠
That we are trained and certified to carry out fish skin scrapes for the identification of parasites 🪱

🛎 We can offer a service of performing fish skin scrapes on your koi or goldfish from you pond 🐟

❗️Diagnosis & Treatment of pond fish ❗️
If you think you may have a parasite problem because your koi or goldfish are flicking or scratching on objects in the pond, you may want to determine the reason for the strange conduct in order to resolve the issue.

🔍 A skin scrape will accurately diagnose fish parasites 🔎
The procedure is done painlessly and is non invasive to the live fish. It involves using a microscope slide to carefully obtain a small sample of mucus from the underside of the fish and analysed under the microscope for significant parasite existence. They are performed to identify microscopic parasites, as this type can not be seen to the naked eye. 🔬

🐟🦠 If you would like us to do a more indepth examination on your live fish we offer this service Monday-Friday by appointment only.
🧫🧪£10 per skin scrape including viewing any parasite findings, a indepth water testing, advice on correct treatments and also £5.00 off any treatment if needed.

For any further information please contact us and speak to a member of our team 👋😀
