Ice on the pond

Thanks for being helpful Peter, but I'm not in trouble, just bragging about the ice since it is such a rare occurrence for me. Actually the ice is all gone this morning and the water temperature is 36F or 2.2C at the surface this morning and it warms quickly in that pond. It may take it a few more days to reach temperatures high enough to begin feeding again, but the fish are in good health. You know though... in your situation the idea of a ball, especially a black one that would absorb heat when the sun came out, would probably be enough. Assuming your cold came when it was clear? You pond was nice an clean. Decomposing debris is what does fish in quickly when a pond is iced over, as it uses up the O2. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
