How To Keep Your Pond Healthy

Pets : Fish

If you have a pond with fish in, then this is a significant step to keeping the pond healthy. They are great at eating little insect eggs, for instance from gnats, and generally fish can find a lot of food in most ponds.

However, to keep the pond healthy you need to ensure that oxygen levels are constantly replaced.

Therefore you need a variety of plants, and include oxygenating weed. Also a fountain to add more oxygen, too.

Consider some water plants for shade and variety, and some lilies.

A little gravel at the bottom will be helpful. Also note that rather than use chemicals you should look to keep things natural as much as possible.

Therefore one of the best pond cleaners, as it were, are pond snails. These are fantastic at removing algae from the pond and will give you a happier and healthier pond 100% naturally.
