We can all relate to having a lot of stress but when you have a fish pond or water feature that your fish can sustain the stress too? Installing a water feature comes with both responsibility and a moderate level of stress as well. For example, what if your fish start dying unexpectedly? Maintaining the right amount of oxygen level is a staple must with a pond. Fish become stressed if they start lacking oxygen. By maintaining a proper oxygen level, it can prolong the life of one’s fish.
A question often asked is, what causes low oxygen level? Too much algae can cause the oxygen level to become low. If one has water plants that bloom, during daytime it will produce oxygen and at night it will consume the oxygen. If one has too many blooming plants, the oxygen level will start becoming compromised, and the fish will start dying too soon. If one sees their fish coming to the top frequently most likely, it means that their oxygen level is being compromised, and there is a problem with too much algae.
Too many aquatic life of fish in the water will use amounts of oxygen level that the water has. Using a waterfall, water pump or small fountain will help. By cleaning the filter out on a daily basis, cleaning the pond of algae once a month and watching the water temperature will also help.
Toxic algae also becomes a problem, so by properly maintaining the algae will help go along way. Adding supplements to your water, watching the water temperature and installing water pumps and plants to circulate the water will help sustain the fish life.
Once one can get into a constant habit of maintaining one’s algae and water temperature your water feature will last a long time as well as one will have happy fish! After all, one knows how it feels to be overwhelmed with stress, think how it is for the fish?
