The best way to tell if your pond is low on oxygen, the low tech, beer
in
hand
way, is to
get up before the sun rises. If your fish are gasping at the surface you
need
more air in there. If not, they are doing fine.

Getting up before the sun rises and grabbing a beer before heading to the
pond may be considered uncouth. To avoid this, stay up all night drinking
beer, and when the sun rises, go out and check on the fishies. If they
are
gasping for air, worry about the aeration after you've slept it off. If
they ask for a beer, you have had too many beers to make a decision. Try
again tomorrow.

I guess I have a problem then, because I usually do this check
automatically. If the sound of the fish gasping wakes me up, I know two
things. 1) the fish need more aeration, 2) i drank too much and passed out
next to the pond.
