What does the fish stocking process for your pond involve?

When it comes to stocking your pond with fish, we take every precaution to ensure their safe transfer. To achieve this, we follow a meticulous process designed to minimize stress and maximize survival rates. Here’s how we do it:

• First, we carefully float the bags containing the fish in your pond water for about an hour. This allows the temperature inside the bag to gradually equalize with the surrounding water temperature, preventing shock during release.
• Once the temperatures have stabilized, we gently open each bag and slowly introduce small amounts of pond water over several minutes. This helps acclimate the fish to changes in pH levels and other chemical properties present in your pond.
• Afterward, we carefully tip the bags underwater, allowing the fish to swim out freely at their own pace.

By following these steps diligently, we significantly increase the chances of successful integration and long-term survival of stocked fish within your pond ecosystem.
