Pond Care Advice for Farm Ponds and Fish Health
Extension agent Smith outlines pond maintenance including fertilizer applications of 10-10-10 or 10-15-15 at 500 pounds per acre per year to maintain water color for fish growth. For algae or pond scum, treat with blue stone copper sulfate at one pound per million pounds of water with a water-area calculation. He warns against overstocking and recommends management strategies such as restocking with golden shiners and bass, careful rotenone use, and potential pond draining to restore balance.
