Rabbit Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 The gas is natural and escapes by surface movement, if there is a deep layer and those gasses can't escape they can become lethal generally most leaves are fine although some have proven to kill.

Adrienne Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 All outside ponds are going to get leaves in them, its a fact of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they're fine. Just don't let the muck and rotting leaves pile up so deeply in the pond that there isn't any room for the fish and you'll be ok.
