Pond Care

Fish Pond Supplies

Give your fish pond the care it needs and give your fish a healthier place to live. At PetSmart, we carry a variety of pond supplies to maintain a backyard pond with live plants and fish like koi or goldfish. Clean water starts with a good pond filter and pump to remove waste, plus water conditioners to clarify and control algae. Did you know that barley straw for ponds can be used to help prevent algae growth? Beneficial bacteria and enzymes help with biological filtration, breaking down organic matter and reducing sludge build-up and debris that can clog pond filters. Find replacement pond filter media such as foam pads and sponges, along with UV sterilizers and extra tubing to make sure your pond filtration system runs smoothly. We also offer everything you need to care for the fish that live in your pond, like koi food, goldfish pellets and floating pond sticks and other food blends. The right food for your pond fish, in the right amounts, can also help keep the water clean and healthy. Avoid overfeeding to cut down on the biological load of your mini-ecosystem. Pond fish might also need other additives, like stress coat and pond salt, to keep them healthy, especially when you introduce new fish. Be sure to use pond water test kits to make sure all of the water parameters are within safe ranges for all of your pond inhabitants. Finally, you can add water features and decor to complete your backyard pond setup. Find fountains and floating decorations, such as artificial floating water lilies that stay in bloom all year, and check out our live plants to see which ones do best in outdoor ponds. Umbrella plants, water ferns, anubias, sweetflag and more are available in-store at the live plants section of our Aquatics Department. We make pond maintenance simple with submersible filters, efficient pumps, water conditioners, pond salt, algae control, pond de-icers and more.
