How do you winterize a outdoor goldfish pond in a harsh winter climate?
Cold weather bacteria such as Microbelift Autumn/Winter Prep can be added as early as September and continued for four months. It helps keep the ponds ecosystem balanced as the water temperature decreases. Put a de-icer in the pond to keep a hole in the ice to allow the exchange of oxygen and gases. Put a net over the pond to keep leaves from fallingin the pond. Decaying leaves and debris can be toxic if left inthe pond al winter under the ice. Feed your fish Wheatgerm until the water temperatures drop below 55 degress, then you can stop feeding them.
