I always wanted an ornamental fish pond, but after having read a couple of posts about them, I’m not so sure. First, from the Nashville Knucklehead (photo is also shamelessly ripped off from the Knucklehead):
Here’s a great Sunday project for you. Build a Koi pond. Then come to
my house. And get the fish. I have way too many fish. Probably about 30
mature fish. And every year, they keep making more. There are dozens
and dozens of baby fish who will be mature next year. I don’t even like
having the fish. They came with the house.
And then, a handy list from CeeElCee at the Dry Spot:
1. If you remove all the rocks from a Home Depot 100 gallon pond
liner to clean and dry them, frogs will be unable to climb out of the
bottom of the pond.2. Even if you wet vacuumed the pond completely dry, it will
eventually refill with rainwater over the course of a couple weeks.3. Frogs cannot tread water indefinitely.
Be sure to go read both posts in their entirety, you’ll get a good chuckle.
