Struggling with pond algae?
Green water/algae is often caused by over feeding and fish waste. It is unsightly and can be dangerous as it may alter the pH and oxygen levels. It can also harm your plants by outcompeting the plants for nutrients. At Maidenhead Aquatics we have an excellent range of algae treatments; some work by actively killing the algae and others work by stripping out nutrients. Decreasing your waters phosphate and nitrate levels will also help with unwanted algae growth. Available in-store and online.

With temperatures finally set to rise this week, now is a great time to check your aquarium is safe from overheating. Warmer water holds less oxygen, so make sure all filters and aerating devices are running well to keep your fish happy and healthy. Plastic bottles of frozen water are a handy emergency measure but nothing beats a chiller when you really need it. https://ow.ly/TQA150SoeEZ

In June of every year, Father's Day is cause to celebrate male parental care. Humans fall into a rare group of beings in which the male and the female both exhibit parental care - a behaviour really rather uncommon in the animal kingdom. However, paternal guardianship is present in the aquatic world, where devoted fathers of a number of species may be observed diligently caring for eggs or young, not just alongside the female, but some actually taking on all responsibility themselves.

It’s that time of the year when tender plants are everywhere and for pond keepers, that means Water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes). Floating plants are a great way to provide shade and mop up excess nutrients during the summer, as well as adding beauty to open-topped aquaria. You’ll find them in pond sections up and down the country and remember that they’ll either need protecting or disposing of when the frosts arrive in autumn.

Sarasa comets (Carassius auratus) are always eye-catching, with reds that put all but the most highly bred Koi to shame. Whether mixed with contrasting varieties such as Shubunkin or Canary goldfish, or brightening the pond with their crimson and white, it’s hard to find a better pond fish for the average garden pond. You’ll find them in all of our pond sections at the moment.

We have got some really stunning angel fish in store,
Bulgarian seal point angels, Peru altum angels and clown angels.
They really are stunning fish with their own little personality’s 🤩

Here is a little information on angels from our databank

The Angel Fish is a majestic species which requires a taller than average aquarium, due to its potential adult height and long trailing finnage. The substrate should be soft and smooth, so as to protect the delicate finnage when the fish are swimming in the lower reaches of the tank, and a good cover of aquatic plants should be provided in order for the fish to feel safe.
