Water conditioner (spring fish, water transfer first)
In spring, as temperatures gradually rise and water begins to warm up, it's the perfect time for pond management. Spring is a crucial season for water conditioning, fertilizing, and maintaining optimal water quality. Proper care during this period can significantly enhance the health of aquatic organisms and improve overall productivity.
First, it's essential to apply microbial fertilizer to stimulate algae growth and create a favorable environment for aquatic life. A recommended practice is to use 500 grams of golden bait microbial fertilizer per acre. Within two days, the water color will turn green, promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms that serve as natural food sources for fish and other aquatic animals. This process also helps in improving water quality by increasing dissolved oxygen levels, breaking down accumulated organic matter from the winter period, and reducing harmful substances like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide.
Second, after adjusting the water color and quality, regular monitoring becomes key. Especially after heavy rains or flooding, spring weather can be unpredictable, making it even more important to maintain stable water conditions. It’s advisable to follow the principle of "small amounts, frequent applications" when using microbial fertilizers. It's recommended to apply 500 grams per acre twice a month, adjusting the dosage based on water color and fish behavior. This ensures a balanced ecosystem without overloading the pond with excessive nutrients.
