The fish and the plants both keep the water clean. The fish also eat the insect eggs so you would have less mosquitoes, etc.. I had several ponds, one of them was quite large and deep (10'x6'x5'deep). I used to buy "feeder fish" from the pet store. These are the goldfish that are sold to people with carniverous fish such as piranhas for food for them. The feeder fish at that time, were very cheap, something like $4.00 dollars for a dozen. Sometimes I would lose some to disease until I got smart and put some medication in the water with the new fish. They require very little feeding after a point, as they eat what is in the pond, keeping your water clear. The plants and the running water oxygenate the water for the fish. You need to let new water sit for a few days before adding the fish if you have chlorine or floride in your city water, to let it disipate or it will kill your fish. My nephew still has my "feeder fish" which are now 8 to 10 inches long!!! They are over 2 years old. I never had to clean my ponds when I had fish in them.<br />I had lots of cats, birds, etc. out in the country and never had problems, when a cat comes around the fish would hide in the plants, etc..<br />BrendaBrenda Maashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451724306271286173noreply@blogger.com
