Fish are ideal for enlivening the garden pond. In addition to the well-known goldfish, the bitterling and the minnows, there are of course other aquatic animals to be found that are very good for the biotope, cleaning it and protecting it from excessive algae growth. Most pond owners also want to have fish in their pond. We have to buy these ourselves and put them in the pond. Other creatures settle themselves. Provided the water quality and the biological balance are right. Dragonflies for example. These beautiful, fascinating, winged insects need water for their larvae. The sight of them has always fascinated people. Frogs also like to settle in the garden pond. They might be a bit noisy at times, but we can benefit from their presence. They feed on mosquitoes, water fleas and other unpleasant insects. We would like to pass on our experiences with garden ponds and their creatures to you.
