You should make a hole in the ice to allow any toxic gases to escape. The
best way of making a hole is to melt one using a pan filled with hot
water. DO NOT make one by breaking the ice as the shock wave through the
water might injure your fish. Add a bubbler to keep the oxygen levels up.

I only suggest this as the result of an article I read some time back. I
do not remember what the article was about nor do I have a reference, I
have a feeling that it was something to do with beavers.

Anybody got any comments on the idea, good or bad.
