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.
It is always a good idea to quarantine new fish before adding them to your pond. Properly quarantining new arrivals reduces the chance of introducing parasites or bacteria to your existing fish population.
