As the pond algae and plants die back this is a good time to clean and maintain your pond before the water temperature drops below 10°C as the fish will still be feeding and their immune systems will be active, enabling then to cope with the disturbance. It is important to remove dead or decaying leaves from the water to prevent pollution problems. November - DecemberAs the water temperature drops the fish will become less active and are likely to stop feeding and remain motionless on the bottom of the pond. Do not distribute the fish unnecessarily as this will cause them to use up their food reserves. Only feed when the water temperature is above 8°C and take care not to overfeed.
