Hi ther ...Welcome to the forum ..As others have mentioned with putting in a pond, do make sure you put in enough oxygenating pants as this really does help.I put in my pond late last August adding small pants around the edges and with plenty of Oxygenating weed..which has grown so much in a small time it has cover the surface ..I put in half a dozen small fish which are still doing well ...Im hoping for dragonflies and other insects to visit me this yr..So good luck with yours...
See you around the forum ..
