During the Summer months it is generally to warm and sunny to float the fish on the pond.
Floating bags of fish in the sunshine causes the air and water in the bag to overheat and the fish to run out of oxygen very quickly.
Once you remove the fish from the box and place in the pond, open the bag and add a small amount of water. After 3-5 minutes, release the fish into the pond. If it is sunny release immediately.
ONCE THE BAG IS OPEN THE FISH MUST BE RELEASED WITHIN 5 MINUTES! Failure to do this could result in the fish running short of oxygen.
If you have any questions regarding the feed required for the fish you have purchased please ask a member of staff.
Once you feel the fish have settled into your pond, you can try a small amount of food.
