Better yet, what clear water you have there. It appears to me that it's not very deep. I made my pond about 5 ft deep at the deepest point and about 1 1/2 ft at the shallow end. I have rocks blocking off most of the shallow end and I have pocket plantings of water plants located there. I think I would have been able to see the fish better if I had made more of it shallow. My pond is pretty big but it's not very pretty right now! I just started putting some plants around the outside areas and really need alot more ferns, La. Irises, hostas, elephant ears, banana trees, and so forth to make it really tropical looking. LOL I placed some rocks and stuff in a big pile to make a waterfall, it's ok, but not what I really had in mind.

Happy Gardening and Ponding,

Hopefully in a couple of months some of my plantings will start to fill in a little better. Should hide the waterhose so no one can see it. I have tons more work to do on it but it is coming along so so.
