TJB TIPS

Feeding your fish is one of the most enjoyable times you will spend with your pond. It provides the oportunity to bond with, tame and train your fish. Always place it in the same place each time you feed you fish. This way the fish learn that when you are in this spot, it means they will be fed. Soon you can train them to eat out of your hand.

  Our pond fish require different types of foods for different seasons. During late spring and summer you should use a staple that contains higher amounts of protein. Protein is used by the body for bone and tissue growth. Fish, as in humans, do not store protein in the body. It is used for growth, however a small amount may be converted to carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are burned as engery for swimming. It is stored in the body as fat so it is essential that a lower protein content be used during cooler temperatures. Your fish won't have the benefit feeding on a regular basis during the winter. Therefore a wheatgerm based diet should be used so the fish can store carbs and fat for the winter. Fish will eat both animal and vegetable matter which makes them omnivorous. They do not have stomachs so they can't eat large amounts at one time. This is the reason your fish spend a great deal of time foraging around. Fish will actually eat just about anything that is small enough for them to swallow whole.

  The hand-feeding process can be pleasurable for both you and your fish or goldfish. Instead of throwing the fish pellets into the pond, take the time to place them into the water at the same area daily. In so doing, the fish will become accustomed to the routine and will, over time, become friendly and trusting enough to be hand-fed. Pond fish have even been known to recognize there owners' footsteps and follow them around the waters edge.

  Taming and training your pond fish is a gradual process, but it can be very rewarding. Spending this time with your fish will also allow you to observe any problems early on.

Your fish should be fed one tenth of their body weight per day.  A 12 inch fish weighs approximately one pound.  If you have ten, 12 inch fish in your system you should be feeding a total of one pound per day.  Make sure that your filter can handle the processing of that amount by checking your water quality regularly.

ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. If you understand this basic fact, your water will always be clear, not green.   FISH WASTE + PLANT WASTE = PLANT FOOD = REQUIRING ADEQUATE PLANTS TO UTILIZE THE PLANT FOOD = BALANCE = CLEAR WATER.

Over-feeding fish, and/or not enough pond plants = green water 90% of the time. A simple solution that doesn’t come out of a bottle: Understand proper pond balance, and you’ve got it whipped!! The Ammonia-nitrite-nitrate cycle is a fact of nature. Fish and plant waste (ammonia) get converted by bacterias into nitrite, which gets converted by additional bacterias into nitrate. Ammonia and nitrite in small amounts can be harmful, and even lethal, to fish. Nitrates, the final step, can be concentrated at much higher levels without being harmful to fish. If there are not enough plants to handle this additional nitrate, (plant food), LOOK OUT!!!, nature will supply it free gratis in the form of green water and/or string/filamentous algaes.

In a balanced pond, these algaes will still be present, but in low enough numbers that you won’t even notice them without really, really looking. A mature, balanced pond will have literally no traces of ammonia or nitrites, only nitrate. As a result of this information, go slow with a new pond as far as putting in a lot of fish or feeding them a lot for the first month or so. Give it a chance to colonize these bacteria's in sufficient numbers to be able to mature and handle the pond’s biological needs, as well as letting the aquatic and marginal plants get established.

• Aquascape foods contain special ingredients that aid in digestion helping to increase growth rates and reduce waste from fish that can negatively affect water quality. Aquascape foods are formulated with multi-vitamins and stabilized vitamin C ingredients that are known to help boost the fish’s immune system and prevent disease. Aquascape foods come in a re-sealable 6 ml protective foil bag that protects the food from air, vitamin degrading light and outside contamination.

Increasing red or orange coloration is fairly simple; using premium quality spirulina purchased in Hawaii, along with quality krill meal purchased from the coast of Norway will quickly enhance pond fish coloration. Keeping white coloration from becoming pink or blending with other colors is more difficult. Aquascape fish food balances the amount of traditional color enhancers with a proprietary blend of minerals, the same proprietary blend used to keep fish farmed for sashimi in Japan from having stained or discolored flesh. After extensive laboratory testing we have found that our new formulation will maintain ornamental pond fish with bright crisp white coloration.
• Aquascape Premium Fish Food Pellets contain a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changes, both in the composition and/or activity in the gastrointestinal microflora that confers benefits upon host well-being and health.
• Pre-biotics are known to help feed good bacteria found in the digestion system while preventing or excluding bad bacteria.
• Pro-biotics are microorganisms that are used to help promote healthy digestion; the most common types of microbes used as pro-biotics are certain yeasts and bacilli. Two well known pro-biotics, Bacillus subtilus and Bacillus subtilus natto, are commonly consumed as part of fermented foods with specially added active live cultures, such as yogurt.
• In the past, the only country to utilize this revolutionary enzyme was the Japanese who have been eating natto for almost 1000 years. In recent years, the effects of natto have been re-evaluated. Among the components produced by Bacillus subtilis natto, the following are currently attracting attention.
  • Facilitates the growth of lactic acid bacteria in intestines, thereby effectively preventing diarrhea and intestinal disorders.
  • Contains amylolytic enzyme and proteolytic enzyme to help digestion and absorption, thereby improving feed efficiency.
  • Facilitates the growth of livestock and prevents diseases.
  • Also effective in water purification when used for fishery products.
  • Safe to ferment or produce because the fermentation culture medium is made of soybeans.
  • Free from environmental and pollution problems.
