And that’s why it’s important to maintain your water garden pond! Here’s a few tips: Feed fish in early morning or evening when oxygen levels are highest, and skip feeding entirely on the hottest days. Skim debris daily before it sinks and decays into algae fuel. Check pumps and aerators. Moving water is oxygenated water, and summer is when fish need it most. Warning sign to watch: fish gulping at the surface means low oxygen. Add aeration right away. Save this checklist for your weekend pond routine, and tell us in the comments which summer pond problem gives you the most trouble. #WaterGardenTips #PondMaintenance #KoiPondCare #BackyardPond
