Hello,
I recently moved into a new place that includes a large pond on the property (I'd say it is approximately 15 ft by 25 ft and deep), and there are maybe a couple hundred goldfish in there. I have been feeding the goldfish flake food twice a day, and they seem to be doing fine. I have not measured the pond, but it seems to be fairly deep. There is a lot of vegetation in the pond (lilly pads and other plants). The fish seem to be doing fine, but I've been told I should have some sort of filter or something on the pond. The problem is, I have NO electricity on this particular area of the lot where the pond is. The water is also a greenish color, so there is obviously algae in the water. Is this bad for the fish? I know I can get some algecide to put in there, but would that reduce the oxygen in the water? Is it possible to buy some kind of "air" pump that just floats on the surface of the water and shoots air down through a hose or something? Please advise me what to do as I want to take proper care of the fish, but I don't want to spend a ton of money, and remember there is no electricity at this location. Thank you in advance. Any suggestions appreciated. |
