Oxygenating pond plants are key to having not only clear water, but also a healthy ecosystem for koi and goldfish. These plants grow quickly in the spring and summer consuming nitrates from the water resulting in clear healthy pond water. They also provide spawning habitat for fish and shelter for baby fish.
Koi love watermelon! Feed small pieces sparingly at first to let them get used to it. Then put a wedge with the rind in the pond so it will float. The fish will chase it around the pond eating it until there is nothing left but rind.
