It is vital
to maintain a very high level of oxygen in a garden pond. The oxygen content
in the pond is subject to heavy fluctuations. This is because plants and
algae which produce oxygen during the day through solar energy, switch
their metabolism at night and use up most of the available oxygen. This
natural process depletes almost all of the oxygen supply. Therefore, the
survival of the fish and other organisms is especially endangered during
the early hours of the day. The oxygen depletion problem is magnified through
dead algae, plants, or superfluous fish food, particularly in warm water.
These microorganisms use up an enormous amount of oxygen. This reduces
the oxygen level for the fish and other organisms, thereby threatening
their survival. In other words, when the biological balance is destroyed,
pond life could die within a few hours.
