Blagdon’s Tonic salt does an excellent job of controlling bacteria and parasites on a fish’s body. When a koi is ill or under stress, it also helps balance osmotic pressure.

Koi can benefit from tonic salt in the winter by using it in place of the salt that the fish naturally produce. The metabolism of pond fish slows down as the water gets colder. Using tonic salt to supplement the natural salt they would typically manufacture helps to keep your fish healthy and happy in the winter months ❄️

The unique formulation of our Pond Guardian aids in creating the ideal environment for pond fish. This product stabilises the pH value, it also helps to lessen the damaging effects of fish waste products and is a crucial ally in your fish’s battle to maintain a steady internal body environment.

There’s something about bogwood, plants and tropical fish that just look right.

Bogwood isn’t just any wood though, and for a start, it sinks. So why is it called bogwood? They are actually from bogs and are ancient roots and branches that have been semi preserved by the anaerobic conditions of the bog.

There are other types of wood available like Mopani wood, which has a two-tone effect – an effect that has been created by sandblasting one face of the wood, and that can be very appealing on the eye, too.

When choosing any wood, first of all make sure that it is safe to be placed in aquariums as not all wood is. World of Water’s wood comes from reliable sources and is guaranteed safe in aquariums and with freshwater fish.

When you first place bogwood under water it may leach tannins and stain the water the colour of tea. This is perfectly natural and will create conditions similar to many tropical fish habitats in South America, South-east Asia and West Africa.

If you don’t like the water to be too brown, either soak the wood for several weeks in tapwater or place it in an old saucepan and boil it for a while. Activated carbon is very effective at removing tannins, so the regular replacement of carbon in your filter will help keep the water crystal clear.

What is Wheatgerm food?

Wheatgerm is essentially the embryo of the plant, the reproductive part that germinates and grows new vegetation.

As a food source, it’s naturally high in complex fats, vitamins, and minerals, while it also contains slow-releasing carbohydrates. In comparison to simple sugars featuring in most germ-based foods, Wheatgerm is better at helping fish maintain their fat stores. This is essential during the cold, winter months.

What is the best pond vacuum cleaner available?

For garden ponds and koi ponds the OASE UK Pondovac range are rated as top pond vacuum cleaners, with some of the best reviews online. Designed to be easy to use, Oase pond vacs come with multiple fitting options to handle any pond, pool, and swim pool.

The Oase Pond Vacuum comes in 5 models, the main difference between the basic Pondovac Classic and the more advanced models the Pondovac 3, Pondovac 4 and Pondovac 5 pond vacuum is the ability for continuous operation with a clever two chambers system, which is continuous cleaning function. This feature allows one chamber to be in suction mode while the other is emptying its waste.

Most fresh water aquariums can be set up with live plants and whenever possible, it is recommended to do so. Some of the benefits of live plants are that they:

- Supplement filtration - they absorb ammonium, nitrates, and phosphates, and even assimilate other undesirable substances from aquarium water.

- Produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide when the aquarium is illuminated.

- Provide natural shelter for fish, thereby reducing stress and supporting natural behaviour. Plants also provide hiding places for baby fish and for species that are being harassed by other inhabitants.

- Provide the main decoration feature of aquariums and supply a dynamic element to the aquarium as they grow.

Tips on Where to Position Your Tank

DO place it in a room that is used often, such as the living room. This way your fish become part and parcel of your life - and you get to enjoy them every day.

DO make sure there are power points within easy access.

DO choose a spot that allows easy access. It’s no fun carrying out maintenance in a cramped space.

DON’T position it where the fish are likely to be frightened by children or pets dashing around.

DON’T put it next to a window as the sunlight can cause algae to form on the glass. Too much sun such as in a conservatory can also cause the water to overheat.

DON’T position your aquarium near doors or radiators - draughts and central heating will affect the temperature of the water. The fish may also be upset by the noise and vibration caused by doors being opened and closed frequently.

Fed up of fallen leaves? 🍃 🍁

The Oase SwimSkim 25 has its own built in pump which causes a suction so that fallen leaves and pond debris are drawn towards its collection basket, the collection chamber can then easily be removed by hand, and the user can discard with its unwanted contents. By removing leaves and other undesirable pollutants, not only will the pond look cleaner, it should also aid the water quality.

The Oase SwimSkim 25 will also notably reduce the amount of time the pondkeeper has to spend netting out dead leaves from the bottom of the pond, which can be exhausting and difficult.

Due to the SwimSkim being a self floating device, it will conveniently adapt to any changes in pond depth.
