You have made a beautiful pond. The parrots feather & the cork screw rush do not need to be potted. The parrot feather can be tucked at the waters surface between rocks and the rush can go on the edge in an 1' or 2 of water. Just bury the root ball under some
bottom rocks if you have them. Water lily needs a heavy clay soil and a good layer of small rocks or gravel on the surface , all around the pot. As I experienced, they tip over if you do not have enough weight in the pot...
I gave my fish some peas today. They were not a big hit like the cherrios. They were eaten but it took a while for them to take to them. The peas I bought (frozen) were a little large so being the good mother I cut them in quarters to prevent choaking!!

After the peas I tried watermelon again. One fish took a bite and that was it. One tried to wear the wedge like a hat...
