Like any home aquarium, fish ponds need to be clean in order to be attractive and to keep your fish healthy, which can be more difficult in an outdoor pond environment than a common fish tank, primarily because of the vast size difference. However, there are tips and methods to keepyour small fish pond clean without having to manually clean out dirt and debris every other day.

Refill the pond with fresh water, making sure it is a similar temperature to the existing water. Add the proper amount of dechlorinator to alleviate chlorine in your pond. Install a canister filter, which is an external filter that sits around the pond and takes in water using one tube, filters it, then expels it back into the pond with another tube.
