What is the Best Way to Keep My Fish Healthy?

Fish health is directly related to water quality and proper nutrition. Keep the pH between 6.8 and 8.0. Monitor water quality for ammonia and nitrite. They must always be zero. Any measurable ammonia or nitrite indicates over-feeding or too many fish in the pond. Make a partial water change once a month.
Water changes remove excess nutrients and dissolved organic matter. We recommend removing 25% of the water and replacing it with de-chlorinated tap water. (use: Chloramine Buster)
Feed only fresh, nutritionally balance fish food. Goldfish can be fed small portions several times a day. If you over-feed, ammonia and nitrite levels will climb, stressing the fish and causing disease problems. Use: Floating Stix or Staple Floating Pellets.)
Finally, resist the temptation to keep adding fish to your pond. Over-crowding is the main cause of disease outbreaks and fish loss in water gardens. It is far more enjoyable to have a few healthy goldfish than a pond full of diseased, suffering fish that eventually die.
