Looking for YOUR pond overflow to start mine

Cleveland OH

Description

I just installed a 100 gallon pond in the shady backyard. This is my 1st pond I have nothing & am just learning; bucket list to have one. I have 4 small plants that ARE real; floating hyacinth & 1tiny sprig of an oxygenating one under the water. I have ordered the pump/ fountain, alge conditioner & blue dye - all safe for fish & plants that will be here in 3 days. This is my 1st pond so it is pretty much empty. NO fish or anything alive aside from the plants. If you have a pond & have extra plants, floating or underwater oxygenating ones, whatever ( even extra pumps, tubing, etc...) *******OR,****** especially looking for any SMALL creatures to add; a snail, small goldfish or 2, small turtle, etc.... I think koi would be to big & too much SO, if your pond is overflowing..... I am asking you to share... Anything would be appreciated. Just starting out my 1st one. I have some 'fake ceramic' coy in now for show that you may see in the pics. They are staying : ) ! THANK U !
