are gunnera poisonous to fish, we have one overhanging our pond?

God no.....they're a water loving plant. I have several huge Gunnera which grow into a large pond containing a couple of thousand fish.

Enjoy

Not as far as I know, as Badfish says, they are pondside plants both in the wild and in the garden.

gunnera are very huge plants with massive leaves(didnt expect that) ,i thought they were going to be delicate plants since they are pond plants that grow on the margins of ponds but i guess ive learnt something new.

Yes, Wildlife - photos usually show people standing under the leaves. Alternatively a less than scrupulous seller will just tell you that the leaves are like rhubarb.
There is a small version G.magellanica.
