Do you have a Koi or fish pond? Make sure to use a fish safe pond liner. Make sure you check with your city’s zoning restrictions on ponds because they are a lot like the pool zoning restrictions. For example, most cities require a 6 foot fence with a locking gate.
Pond EssentialsUse “Pond” plants in your fish pond. They are beautiful to look at, but they are also vital for your fish.
A pond water test kit is a must. Ponds require some level of salt, so don’t forget the salt test kit & special salt.
Use the right type of fish food for your type of
fish. Koi are not goldfish.
Pond ExtrasMake feeding your fish a fun treat. Use an old bubblegum or toy machine (the kind you find inside of grocery stores) to put the fish food in. It’s great entertainment for kids & guests, plus it offsets the cost of the fish food.
Try a pond fountain. They are a beautiful addition to any pond & your fish will love the shelter of it.
Natural rock is a wonderful idea for your pond. It looks great & is not that expensive. Natural plants love to grow on the rocks & in the crevices.
About The Pond
Most of the pictures in the posting where just taken of our pond in northern Utah, so the plants are just starting to grow back in. The first picture is from last year. We plan on starting a series of postings on how we built this pond three years ago. Also we will be doing a series on how to winterize the pond this fall to keep your Koi safe.
