Water temp question
Hi,
I know not to feed fish until water temps are 50 degrees. But for how long? I mean the other day the water temp was 45. Today it's 55. I suspect it will be 40 within a few days. I have old house screens covering the pond because of my neighbor's blankety-blank mimosa tree, so i really don't see the fish. What do you do in a climate like this? Look for signs of moving fish on a warm day and feed them? Wait until it's been warm for a week? Please advise. As always. thank you, juls in texas ZONE 7A ·.·´¨ ¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) jammer ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- ((¸¸ |

I would wait until you are pretty darn sure that the water is going to *stay* at 55 and higher. Today it is 65 in SE WA, absolutely loverly out. Next week we could be down to 15 degrees... (I sure hope not!) k30a |

Hi juls, Wait until the water temp stays at
55 degrees. We don't want to rush things :-) K30 and JJ are in Zone 7. They will be good people to watch for taking Spring action.

The fish will do nicely on any algae. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
