Different view of the stream..

That must relaxing to sit and see/hear. How many fishes do you have? Coi?

Ive four koi, and about ten other fish,( grass carp, mirror carp, shubhnkins, comet goldfish and lemon goldfish.)

That sounds great. I bet you don't have to worry about Red Tail Hawks dive bombing your koi pond. They would even go after my turtles.

Oh no!! The only predators we've had a problem with is next doors cats but they don't seem to really bother and next door have a pond too and they've left their fish alone, that's why I like to have it heavily planted so that there's always depth for the fish to hide

That's a good idea. The plants offer a number of benefits.

Yes! Everything's already started growing back, usually my plants come back about March but it's been so mild that they are already growing!!

Do you have a pond in your garden? They're great for attracting wildlife etc!

I had one years back, but my life style does not give me time for it. I travel a lot for work plus I'm a volunteer firefighter on weekends. I wish I could

That's fair enough! Can be very time consuming unless you get them 100% right!!

Do you have a pump linking the pond and the stream Dan?

Yes, it goes through a pump, and then a filter box first to filter the water and then returns through the stream, I also grow watercress on the stream/waterfall as additional water filtration
