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.
Performing regular, parial water changes is a great way to maintain optimal water quality. Changing 10%-15% of the pond water every week or 2, helps to flush out nitrates, tannins and other waste products while replenishing essential minerals.

Goldfish make ideal pets for small ponds because of their modest size. They typically grow 8”- 10" long, although they can occasionally get bigger. The best types of goldfish for outdoor ponds are Comets, Sarasa Goldfish and Shubunkins.
