When can I Add Fish to My Pond? I just installed my pond When can I add fish?
Add lots of plants right away. Not fish. The pond's ecosystem can't handle a
big load of fish right away. If you add too many fish or feed too much,
poisonous ammonia (fish waste) will build up in the water. In established
ponds the ammonia is detoxified by the biological filter. In a new pond,
however, the biological filter can not detoxify a high level of ammonia. Add
only a few fish every few weeks. Feed them once a day for the first two weeks.
Monitor the pH, ammonia and nitrite levels with test kits. This will help you
monitor the water quality and know if you are feeding too much. You can help
the biological filter get established with Bio
Surge
- D. Bio Surge - D contains live
bacteria that "jump start" the biological filter so there will be less chance
of ammonia and nitrite poisoning.
