A very comprehensive guide to a backyard pond. Really impresses upon you that you are creating an unnatural life support for these creatures! I never thought of it that way before...

I am enjoying learning about my backyard water garden. It makes me a little nervous though. I now realize how much can go wrong that might kill my fish that I love.

Enjoyed reading how to improve and keep my water/fish pond up to date. Helpful information about fish, water quality, and pond filtration.

Includes useful and informative chapter on water chemistry. The focus is on the care for the fish. Check this one out again in spring.
