Pond Care
Keeping a Garden Pond in Top Shape
Like anything else in the home or garden, a pond must be maintained in order to remain in optimal condition. This means that it must undergo a regular amount of cleaning and care. Garden pond cleaning usually requires at least one intense cleansing per season (usually in the cool spring weather), and perhaps more if there are living creatures such as plants, fish and frogs in the waters.
The best way to perform this maintenance is with the proper equipment, including a pond vacuum cleaner. To begin a seasonal garden pond cleaning, the owner should remove all debris that has built up over the autumn and winter months. This includes leaves and sticks floating at the surface and those that have clumped up at the bottom areas as well. Be very mindful, however, if there are fish dwelling in the pond as they may be using these materials for shelter. Use a pond vacuum cleaner to also pull any overgrowth of algae around the edges of the pond as well.
Many home and property owners begin their garden pond cleaning by replacing some of the existing water with fresher water. This can be done fairly easily, but a few considerations must be addressed before beginning. The first thing is any pumps or filters that are installed in the pond – these must be properly cleaned according to the manufacturer directions. There would be very little benefit to adding clean water if it is channeled through filthy pumps or filters.
The next thing to consider in the garden pond cleaning process is the source of the “clean” water to replace half of the existing pond water. Though this allows for more oxygen to enter into the pond; any water that is from a public supply might contain chemicals and treatments that will be harmful to fish and plants.
For this reason, the owner should test the water for pH and also use any recommended treatments before adding it to the pond. While half of the water is out of the pond, the owner should also use their pond vacuum cleaner to remove build up from any rocks or features that have developed algae or unwanted growths.
Garden pond cleaning is a great way to ensure that conditions are optimal for all of the life and water within the entire pond. Performing annual maintenance allows for an owner to also add some beneficial plants and continually improve the looks and conditions in this lovely garden feature.

Pond snail care and breeding?
I go to my local petsmart to get pond snails for my puffer fish. But instead of going back and forth, I might decide to get some snails and breed them. How big of a tank do i need for them and do they need an air pump or anything? How fast do they breed and how many snails each time? And do i need a male and female for these snails, or do they breed by themselves?
Buy a bunch of ramshorn snails-they breed like CRAZY. You only need them in like a 2-5 gallon tank. I would buy about 5-10 to start out with. As long as your pH is at least 7, they should be fine. Do you have a filter? If not, you'll have to do regular water changes as snails like any other aquatic produce waste. I don't know if they breed by themselves but i would just buy 5-10 random ones. They mainly eat algae, fish waste, and aqaurium plants. If those snails are too big for your fish to eat, get the same snails you always do and they are all pretty much the same. Pretty soon, their little group will keep doubling and you can just feed them to your puffer fish. By the way, where did you purchase your puffer fish and are they hard to take care of because i kind of want one 
lol.
