The seasons are changing—and your pond knows it!

Here are 5 subtle signs that autumn is arriving in your garden:

1. Fish are slowing down – Less activity and appetite? As water cools, fish metabolism naturally drops.
2. Leaves are falling in – Time to get that net cover ready before debris affects water quality!
3. Water temperature is dropping. It’s time to transition to wheatgerm food.
4. Plants are dying back – Marginals and lilies will begin to yellow and shed leaves.
5. Morning condensation and cooler air – Colder nights = temperature swings that can stress your fish.

Tip: Start adjusting feeding routines, test your water more often, and prep your equipment for autumn now.

Not all Rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) are German blue rams, with this name being originally reserved for a line of fish that were particularly robust and colourful – such as these European bred adults seen recently at our Wenvoe store. The German strain has been bred into many commercial strains of this species but it’s rare to see them as chunky adults that remind me of the fishes that were commanding a premium in the late eighties! They may be generations away from their wild ancestors, but these are still a fish that will do their best in soft water with low nitrates.
