I think that the owners ofmeshes waterknow perfectly well that it is worth securing them before winter. We do it so that the fish andvegetation , both on the shore and in the water,not suffer during frostOur pond is quite large, actually it's a small pond, so every year atend of the seasonhas some work to do with it.
First of all, we change 2/3 of the water in it to oxygenate it.We also remove residualmud ,leftovers plantsandalgaeFlowers sensitive to frost, e.g.exotichyacinthsaquatic , dig it out. In containers filled with earth, transfer them tonon-freezing ,brightbasement
"If the pond is deep enough and does not freeze to the bottom, you do not need to carry the fish to a warmer reservoir for the winter."
When it comes to liliesaquatic , all rotting plant fragmentsneed cutThis applies both leaves, stems and roots. Cleanedrhizomesexaggerating (if required) to a largertrash filled earth I put the prepared lilies in an old bathtub, pour water overhalf highandallcover with leaves
Other specimens from mywater collectionI put intobuckets without cleaningconstruction , I pour water over it and also carry it to the basement.I ventilate it regularly, but not too long, because the room shouldn't be too chilled

In our pond, which is over1.5 m deep , all fish are hibernating. We mainly have to make sure thatthe tankis not completely ice-bound, because then the water will betoo little oxygenWe drill regularly for this. Holes in the ice (approx. 20 cm in diameter) can bedrilledor hot we boiling water with a knife
"In late autumn we change two thirds of the water in the pond."
Put a bundle ofbrushwoodorhayinto the resulting hole. Half of it shouldprotrude over ice . This is hownatural locks airfor fish.
