Plants: Most 'pond' plants tolerate a wide range of
conditions. The label on the plant will inform you
of its needs and how it grows.
Lillies dislike cold and dark positions and should
be kept away from turbulent water.
Fishes: Providing the fishes can find shelter in an
area of deeper water i.e. 50 cms or more to over
winter, there are few problems in maintaining them.
Goldfishes and varieties of goldfishes such as
shubunkins and comets are easy to keep, colourful
and live to thirty or more if well cared for.
Orfe can be introduced for variety, but koi carp
need deep water and large ponds if they are to reach
their full potential.
