New to Pond Fish?

Pond fish are more than just decoration. They can become loyal pets who get to know you, even coming to greet you when you walk near your pond. Before you pick up your new finned friends, there are a few things worth knowing.

GOOD WATER = HEALTHY FISH

Overfeeding and overcrowding are the two main fish-related causes of poor water quality. Here's what to watch for:

TEST REGULARLY

Check pH, ammonia, and oxygen levels at least twice a month in summer.

KEEP IT MOVING

If your fish are hanging out at the surface more than usual, your pond may lack oxygen. A fountain, waterfall, or spitter keeps things flowing.

TREAT YOUR WATER

Chlorine damages gills and burns the scales of fish. Always treat tap water before adding it to your pond.

Care for Your Fish Every Season

Every season brings different needs for your pond fish. Here's what to focus on throughout the year to keep them safe and thriving.

Spring

Fish are fragile as they warm back up, needing time for their immune systems to reach full strength. Test your water early and reintroduce treatments gradually.
Spring Maintenance Guide

Summer

Fish need more food in summer than in winter, as they're more active in warm water. Check water quality twice a month and keep the pond well aerated.

Fall

When water temperatures drop below 50°F, stop feeding. Fish can't digest food in the cold, and uneaten food hurts water quality.
Fall Maintenance Guide

Winter

You can overwinter fish in the pond if it's deep enough, or move them to an indoor tank with aeration. Either way, keep an aerator running.
Winter Maintenance Guide

Something Wrong With Your Fish?

Don't panic. New fish can be quarantined to build up their immune systems and be observed to make sure they are healthy. Our emergency guide walks you through what to do when things go sideways.
