Fun (Pond) Fact!
Many insects survive the winter in the bottom of the Fish Pond including the larvae of Dragonflies and Damselflies (also called "Nymphs"). They like to burrow under dead leaves and twigs along with other insect eggs and larvae.
What to do with your pond Now..in the North-in the South...
In the South the days are getting longer and warmer already and in the North the Winter is getting long and colder! Each can bring a different sort of challenge to the pond at this time! In the South ponds can start to get murky and need a nice starting dose of beneficial bacteria to start the colony and help clear the water.
In the North the Pond Fish can start to get into real distress this time of year because Ponds have been cold and frozen for some time and oxygen deprivation can kill a lot of Pond Fish in a hurry!
Best to always have an air pump running, especially for Koi! Nothing is sadder to wake up one morning and it is too late!

Pond Got the String Algae Blues ???
What is that growing in your Pond this time of year? It's hairy, or bubbly, or sometimes just like a fuzzy carpet!
In whatever form or shape it grows during the colder months, it is hard to get rid off! Most water treatments do not work well in cold water...but we will tell you a few that do:
Restor will clean those rocks and the Pond no matter the weather!
Barley Juice/Fusion will help prevent re-growth even in winter!

String Algae loves cold water and high pH

Fun (Pond) Facts
Next Spring try growing some Water Cress around the edges of your Waterfall! .....
The roots do not have to be in dirt, they just have to stay continously wet. The Water Cress will soften the edges of the rocks, make it look more natural and your Koi will nibble on the plants growing close to the surface of the pond.
