Garden ponds are a popular element in the garden and are implemented in a wide variety of decorative ways. Anyone who is interested in the artificially created still waters has a large selection of creatures available that can be placed in the pond. Animals in the garden pond are a real asset as they bring life to them. Of course, particularly popular animals in the garden pond are fish such as goldfish, koi or minnows, but crustaceans such as the European one are also included Shrimp (Atyaephyra desmaresti) or noble crayfish (Astacus astacus), molluscs such as snails or mussels, newts and frogs too in addition. You can put many of these in the pond yourself, while others, such as frogs and toads, usually find their way into your garden and the body of water by themselves. Animals in the garden pond are sensitive to the water quality, but can also seriously disrupt it if the population is too high. This works even with small fish. You can get help with planning and implementation here.
