I do not add the fish for more than a few weeks. The mud will sink and the water will become crystal clear. After this the gold fish should be added. I would not recommend Koi for this set up they need more oxygen in the water. A few friends of mine would put feeder guppy's in theirs but they died each year so I do not add them. Some mosquito eaters can be added which are just minnows and help keep out some pests.

The one in the photo is Perry D Solcum which is a great plant produces large leaves large flowers that turn from pink to white with age. We have tried multiple plants in one bog. It can work but I usually find the the more vigorous form will take over and choke out the others. If they are cut back regularly I would think it possible to keep them in the same bog.
