| Re: Pond Pumps
If you have a pump, please try to have good filter media round it.
They are very likely to suck up and mince tadpoles, newt larvae and even newts. I visited a pond last year where they admitted that they had found 2 dead newts in the pump.
I wouls suggest that if it is a wildlife pond, try to manage without a pump or filter. If you have fish and need one, then try to make sure it is enclosed so small creatures can't get in. If all else fails, put it in a pair of tights. |
