The fish will follow us back and should be available for sale (after quarantining) around the end of March. If you would like to be kept up to date with our progress while in Israel follow us on Facebook.Here's an example of fish from previous years:..

The Cloverleaf pond heater is ideal for fish keepers who wish to maintain a warmer pond water temperature during the winter and spring months. This is a great benefit if you want to continue feeding on higher growth food, have fish which are particularly sensitive to colder weather or if you need to treat the pond with a treatment which only works at temperatures above 10 degrees Celcius. What's more, the pond will not freeze over as the temperature drops and therefore there is no risk of suffocation for your fish. It is thermostatically controlled to allow for accurate temperature monitoring. This unit must be connected to a pumped flow, not gravity fed. The compact nature of this heater makes it easy to fit in confined spaces.Two models are available:1kw - for up to 1000 gallons ponds (4..

Just arrived - the Oase new Proficlear Premium Compact L. A new all in one Drum filter with 3 - 20lt bags of Helex-13 moving bed media.This great new filter has the drum and the moving bed in the same unit, meaning it has a huge biological and mechanical capability with a really small footprint. This filter can be purchased to run on either a pump-fed or a gravity-fed system. The Oase drum screens ensure that no tiny particles can get through the filter so the water stays crystal clear. They then remove the need for cleaning by having a built-in pressure washer that blasted the dirt off of the drum screens using pond water and flushes all of the dirt into the drain. For this reason, the filter does need to always be plumbed into the waste. Each cleaning cycle uses a tiny amount of water so..

Now is the time to get your Autumn and Winter foods ready for the change in weather. Pond fish cannot digest high protein summer fish food easily when the pond temperatures drop below 10ºc. By switching to lower protein, high wheatgerm foods your fish will get all the nutrition they require without causing any digestive problems such as digestive bloat. This food can be fed throughout the winter when the fish are active and will prevent the fish losing too much weight, which can then cause further problems in early Spring with underweight fish suffering from fungus and parasite problems.For the best fish health we only recommend stoping feeding when fish show no interest in food whatsoever, this tends to only happen when the water temperature goes below 5ºc. If your fish are active and loo..
