If you are wondering if you can still keep goldfish in a pond without a pump, you should know a few facts about the matter before you make any decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several concerns when stocking goldfish in a pump-free pond. The first is oxygen. If you don’t have sufficient oxygen, your goldfish will be stressed and may die. The second is temperature. The higher the water temperature, the more chemical processes are affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third is turbidity. Turbidity is the amount of visible particulate matter in the pond. This is typically caused by a large amount of minute plants and animals. It can be a green or brown color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a naturalized pond, it’s unlikely that you will experience problems with adult goldfish. However, in a more intensively stocked pond<\/a>, you’ll need to take more steps to manage your water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One problem with pump-free ponds is that the dissolved oxygen content can change drastically in a short period of time. If you don’t keep track of it, you could end up with a toxic pond. A good way to monitor your pond’s water is to measure the water’s temperature twice a day. You can make a graph using the temperature values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
