Wintering carp in the pond at the dacha
Now suburban ponds teeming with life, but the imminent winter, and with it all the charm of winter - the most, perhaps, difficult stage in amateur aquaculture. To avoid the winter Zamora, you must follow certain rules.
Most of the fish, which usually breed lovers in suburban ponds accumulate enough fat for the summer and winter are able to go without food. These fish include carp and silver carp. If your fish is part of the winter strong and well-fed, and you will create it the minimum necessary conditions for it to cope with the winter. The main thing is to get it right.
Carps. Wintering in the pond. Training.
For the winter should be sent to a healthy, not injured and the affected fish parasites - it has more chances to survive until spring. It is also important sanitary condition pond on your cottage if it is silted, marshy, overgrown with algae, polluted uneaten food, wintering in it will be difficult.
The ability of winter in the pond is due to link the metabolic processes in the body of the fish and the water temperature in the pond - fish in the winter is not active, almost goes into hibernation.
Many species of fish to go to the bottom of the spring and doze in the so-called "wintering holes" in the deepest areas of the pond. Water temperature (approximately 5 degrees) in such wells would allow the fish to survive without problems the long winter, but they can not starved for oxygen, but does not allow the ice layer leaving outwardly gases - these two facts are often the cause of Zamora.
During the winter the demand for oxygen is reduced in fish.
Beyonce (User FORUMHOUSE):
Most fish for the winter should be at least oxygen.
Thus, all types of carp enough 3 cubic centimeters of oxygen per liter of water, but it is better if it is 5.4 cm3 per liter.
Generally, the experience of fish farmers FORUMHOUSE, Cause fish waste often becomes no oxygen deficiency, and the excess carbon dioxide and water in the presence of iron oxide and hydrogen sulfide. Important and normal alkaline reaction.
By tracking the situation in a pond on a summer residence with a thermometer, oximeter and a pH meter, you can adjust the parameters in the direction of technological standards, or at least keep them within acceptable limits.
The farms are professionally engaged in breeding fish, wintering carried out in special wintering ponds. Their feature - a small area with a large depth (below the ice should remain frost-water layer of 120 to 200 centimeters). Before the winter season hibernating ponds purified from plants and added to water quicklime. At home, instead of hibernating ponds some use wintering well.

And ornamental fish rearing intended to put in concrete well diameter of 70 cm and depth of 2.5 m from the end of March the next year.
The well is dug in the ground frost-closed shield of boards, in case of need - snow, so zero temperature stored therein to March. During the winter the water level in a sump drops to about 1.7 meters, between the water surface and the wooden "lid" of the well layer of air is formed, which allows oxygen to flow into the water; so the fish can successfully overwinter, avoiding Zamora.
As winters carp in the pond
Wintering pits have their fatty cons, including a strain on the fish, changing the usual habitat. Wintering "home" for them would be the preferred option, and if the pond is useful, it is better to organize it there. But for this pond must be sufficiently deep, deeper than half a meter.
autobyd (User FORUMHOUSE):
I wintering pit pond with 1.5 to 1.5, the depth of 4.5 meters, and in the winter the fish perfectly itself felt there.
Will survive the winter fish special equipment, low-voltage heaters and aerators that will needed to maintain life support fish parameters, namely, oxygen and temperature water. But it is always necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the pond and the fish you leave for the winter. Thus, a concrete pond small volume without the bottom of the pit does not leave chances even Qarase.

Karas digs into the bottom yl and sleeps. In concrete, he did not bury. It can not burrow in winter and bottom wells (asleep), but the hole must be below the freezing per meter, and they must be oxygen for respiration of fish.
Dacha user of our portal trvld fish for five years great winter in a plastic carp pond under thin (0.5 cm) of the foam cover. Foam follows the shape of the pond, but its area is a little more - from all sides there are lapping at the edge of about 10 cm. In autumn the cover is filled with a pile of leaves, and the foam has a hole diameter of 55 mm, which is inserted into a plastic tube.
trvld (User FORUMHOUSE):
Through this tube enters the air, and once every 2-3 weeks sleepy little food.
As a participant FORUMHOUSE Beyonce says, "if we remove half of the ice," the water in the pond will be supercool, which significantly worsen the conditions for wintering. Therefore, the polynya area relative to the area of the pond should be small.

To free gas output was, Zamora, precisely because everything is sealed.
One method of preventing Zamora - pumping water through a small hole (do already mentioned for the formation of an air layer, which will enrich the water with oxygen). Well not to prolong the ice, it was closed and insulated, including snow. Arrange the gas exchange in the pond to help special heaters for suburban ponds that will maintain comfortable for the fish species of thermophilic temperatures, and aeratorsThey saturate the water with oxygen, the air bubbles rise and break the ice. Among the popular fish farmers FORUMHOUSE wind turbines, Wind aerators.
Aerator permanently installed before the freeze-up and winter all carp and Karasin livestock gather around him.
Aleksej2000 (User FORUMHOUSE):
If you are going to carry the aerator, the same carp will move to it all the time, will lose power, and many just do not make it to spring (not enough fat reserves).
If the reservoir hibernate only adults and hardy fish such as carp, carp and "silver carp", the air may be supplied via a hose pump automobile. If the application equipment is not possible, you have to manually clear the hole of ice. Also fish help preparations which saturate the water with oxygen.
As we can see, the organization of the winter - the process is quite complicated and sometimes expensive, but pays all spring with spergula.
cav80 (FORUMHOUSE User):
Karpik lively and plump, bright red gills, good. When I saw him he was ready to jump for joy.
