Depending on where you live, more than likely your pond water is getting much colder, which means your pond life and fish are too! Here are this months to 10 MOJO’s pond tips for your Las Vegas pond and or water garden this winter:
1. Determine which of your pond life and fish are from the wild or farmed and treat accordingly to the needs. 2. Farmed fish will stop eating when the water temp turns 45-50 degrees, however fish captured from the wild tend to have a higher tolerance for colder water and will eat food that sinks. 3. When you have wild koi fish they prefer to have something that sinks like MOJO koi cookies™ or tasty bread balls. Call MOJO @ 702-445-1561 or email us teammojo@mojohomerepairs.com for more details. 4. The jury is out with your umbrella palms should they be taken indoors for the winter or can they stay outside. You may have to determine which came from garden or wild, if they are grown from a farm you may consider bringing them inside during cold months, be sure to keep them wet at all times or they will die. 5. Routinely remove any dead leaves and debris from your pond. 6. Trim back all of your over grown plants and bushes. 7. Give your pond a thorough cleaning before winter. 8. If your climate zone tends to freeze your pond over with a layer of ice be sure to keep an ice hole around by pouring warm water on the top. This allows oxygen is still flowing through out. 9. Remove any fish with fungus, bacteria growth, parasites, or any other abnormities. 10. The more waterfalls and features the better for oxygen and keeping your water clear.
