Let’s Talk Spawning!

Does your pond resemble this? Bubbles or foam in the pond? Well, love is in the air! Your fish are spawning.

What is Spawning?

Many pond owners are unaware that spawning is a natural process that will occur when you have fish in your pond. Spawning is how your fish reproduce. Spawn is the eggs or sperm released into the water by your fish, which is why the your pond water may appear foamy and bubbly.

 

What Should I Do?

Although this is a natural process, it can also be a very stressful time for your fish. It is important to pay attention to your pond and fish during this time. Make sure you are,

  • Checking the skimmer or the pond’s perimeter for fish that may hide, or jump out
  • Changing the water often.
  • Using products such as foam be-gone and liquid bacteria to help with the water quality.
