If your pond freezes
You woke up this morning and your pond was iced over. You forgot to throw a semi filled water jug in the pond last night and now you have no hole in the ice through which gases can be exchanged. Do not hit the ice with a hammer. The shock can kill your fish. Get a pot of warm water and set it on the ice. That will thaw the ice. Now go find that jug, put a couple of cups of water in it and put it in your pond, so you can pull it out tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the great tip. I read somewhere to use a ball (basketball)and have been doing that. When the sun heats it up it makes a little hole in the ice but that only works if there's some sun and if it's not too cold. I'll use your water jug trick and see how that works.
