Goldfish pond

Last year I started building a small goldfish pond in our backyard. The goal is to create a mini ecosystem so you don’t have to add any chemicals to maintain the water quality. To do this, you need to add lots of plants and allow the good algae to build along the walls of the pond. Fish help to keep the water clean by eating bad algae and mosquito larvae.   And somehow a few frogs have found their way to the pond!
