Description
Pond Pro® Muck Pellets OxyFizz – Beneficial Bacteria Pucks with Fizzing Oxygen Release Layer
Pond Pro® Muck Pellets OxyFizz are a Canadian-made beneficial bacteria product supplied in a sinking pellet format for ponds, lakes, and other managed waterbodies.
Each pellet contains 5 billion bacteria and includes a fizzing oxygen-release layer designed to help loosen compacted organic material along the bottom.
The sinking format delivers beneficial bacteria directly to areas where leaves, vegetation, fish waste, and other organic material commonly accumulate. OxyFizz is particularly suited to larger waterbodies, shoreline areas, and locations with heavier bottom organic buildup.
For best results, use OxyFizz consistently as part of a regular maintenance program and support biological activity with adequate aeration and water circulation where appropriate.
Beneficial Bacteria with a Fizzing Oxygen-Release Layer
Muck Pellets OxyFizz combine sinking beneficial bacteria with an additional oxygen-release layer.
After application, the pellets sink to the bottom of the waterbody. The fizzing layer releases oxygen and helps disturb compacted organic material around the pellet, while the beneficial bacteria are delivered directly into the surrounding bottom sediment.
This dual-layer format supports natural biological activity in areas where organic matter and bottom sediment accumulate.
How Pond Pro® Muck Pellets OxyFizz Work
After you distribute OxyFizz across the treatment area, the pellets sink through the water column and settle along the bottom.
The oxygen-release layer creates a visible fizzing action that helps loosen and disturb compacted organic material surrounding the pellet. At the same time, the 5 billion bacteria contained in each pellet are delivered directly to the bottom sediment.
These beneficial bacteria support the natural decomposition of available organic matter. Water temperature, oxygen availability, circulation, organic loading, and application consistency can influence biological activity.
Aeration and water circulation can further support the biological process by improving oxygen availability and water movement throughout the waterbody.
Canadian-Made Beneficial Bacteria
Pond Pro® Muck Pellets OxyFizz are made in Canada, with the beneficial bacteria fermented in Canada for use in Canadian pond and lake applications.

Applications
Pond Pro® Muck Pellets OxyFizz may be used for biological maintenance in a range of managed waterbodies, including:
- Large ponds
- Lakes
- Shoreline treatment areas
- Dugouts
- Aquaculture ponds
- Golf course ponds
- Residential developments
OxyFizz is particularly useful where organic material or bottom sediment has become more compacted or where heavier buildup is present along the bottom or shoreline.
Application Instructions
Easy Sinking Pellet Application
Evenly distribute Muck Pellets OxyFizz across the surface of the waterbody or focus application on specific areas where organic material or bottom sediment has accumulated.
The pellets will sink through the water column and settle along the bottom, where the oxygen-release layer begins to fizz and the beneficial bacteria are released into the surrounding sediment.
For best results, distribute the product as evenly as practical across the intended treatment area and follow the application rate provided on the product directions.
Muck Pellets PLUS are suitable for most routine pond applications, while Muck Pellets OxyFizz are intended for larger waterbodies and areas where an oxygen-release layer may be beneficial for loosening compacted organic material.
Consistent application, adequate aeration, and good water circulation can help support biological activity.

Muck Pellets PLUS or Muck Pellets OxyFizz?
Muck Pellets PLUS or OxyFizz - Which One Is Right for You?
Choose Muck Pellets PLUS When:
- The pond is receiving routine biological maintenance
- Organic loading is higher than normal
- You want a high-concentration sinking bacteria formula
- The primary goal is steady, ongoing bottom-organic maintenance
- An oxygen-release layer is not required
Muck Pellets PLUS contain a 5 billion bacteria concentration.
Choose Muck Pellets OxyFizz When:
- Bottom organic material is more compacted
- Shoreline buildup or localized problem areas require targeted application
- You want the same 5 billion bacteria concentration with an added oxygen-release layer
- The fizzing action may help loosen compacted organic material surrounding the pellet
Muck Pellets OxyFizz contain 5 billion bacteria plus a fizzing oxygen-release layer.
Both formulas use a sinking pellet format to deliver beneficial bacteria directly to the bottom of the waterbody.
Muck Pellets PLUS are designed for routine higher-concentration biological maintenance, while OxyFizz adds a fizzing oxygen-release layer intended to help loosen compacted organic material in larger waterbodies, shoreline areas, and other targeted locations.
For smaller residential ponds or standard routine maintenance, Muck Pellets or Muck Pellets PLUS may be a better option.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Muck Pellets OxyFizz?
Muck Pellets OxyFizz are sinking beneficial bacteria pellets with an added fizzing oxygen-release layer designed for pond and lake bottom maintenance.
How Much Bacteria Does Each Pellet Contain?
Each Muck Pellets OxyFizz pellet contains 5 billion bacteria.
What Does the Fizzing Layer Do?
The oxygen-release layer creates a fizzing action after the pellet reaches the bottom. This helps disturb and loosen compacted organic material surrounding the pellet.
Why Do the Pellets Sink?
The sinking format delivers the beneficial bacteria and oxygen-release layer directly to bottom areas where muck, sludge, and other organic material commonly accumulate.
How Do I Apply Muck Pellets OxyFizz?
Distribute the pellets across the water surface or focus them on specific shoreline or bottom areas where organic material has accumulated. The pellets sink after application.
Does Aeration Help?
Aeration and water circulation can help support biological activity by improving oxygen availability and water movement throughout the treatment area.
What Is the Difference Between Muck Pellets PLUS and OxyFizz?
Both contain a 5 billion bacteria concentration and use a sinking pellet format. OxyFizz also includes a fizzing oxygen-release layer designed to help loosen compacted organic material.
When Should I Choose OxyFizz?
OxyFizz may be preferred for larger waterbodies, shoreline buildup, localized problem areas, or areas where bottom organic material has become more compacted.
Can OxyFizz Be Used Around Fish and Plants?
Use Muck Pellets OxyFizz around fish, plants, birds, and other wildlife according to the product directions.
Are Muck Pellets OxyFizz Made in Canada?
Yes. Pond Pro® Muck Pellets OxyFizz are made in Canada, and the beneficial bacteria are fermented in Canada.
Dual-Action Bottom Maintenance with Beneficial Bacteria and Oxygen Release
Pond Pro® Muck Pellets OxyFizz combine a high concentration of beneficial bacteria with a fizzing oxygen-release layer in a convenient sinking pellet format.
The pellets deliver 5 billion bacteria directly to bottom sediments while the oxygen-release layer helps loosen compacted organic material surrounding the treatment area.
For best results, use OxyFizz consistently as part of a regular maintenance program and support biological activity with adequate aeration and water circulation where appropriate.
