Yes. Aquascape Pond Kits are designed to support fish and aquatic plants. The included pump, skimmer, and biological filtration help maintain water circulation and water quality.
What fish and aquatic plants can I add?
- Fish: Koi and goldfish are an integral part of the ecosystem.
- Water lilies: Provide shade and shelter for fish.
- Marginal plants: Help absorb excess nutrients.
- Floating plants: Provide shade and absorb nutrients where permitted by local regulations.
- Submerged plants: Help absorb nutrients and support the pond ecosystem.
What should I consider before adding fish?
- Pond size: Provide adequate swimming space and avoid overcrowding.
- Water quality: Allow biological filtration to establish and verify that water conditions are safe before adding fish.
- Oxygen: Maintain proper circulation and aeration, especially during hot weather.
- Maintenance: Regularly clean filtration, remove debris, and monitor water quality.
Important: The number and type of fish your Pond Kit can support depend on its water volume, depth, and filtration capacity. Koi require more space and filtration as they grow.
