These are the plants behind the scenes. Growing up from the deepest parts of your pond, this group does the hard work to keep your fish and water happy and healthy. Another strong competitor for algae, these plants supply needed oxygen and habitat to the school of fish living in your pond.

Displaying colors from brilliant gold, to deep orange, to pure white, and several colors in between, adding fish to your pond can easily be the most rewarding addition to your pond. Easy to maintain and beautiful to look at, graceful koi, and darting goldfish can take your backyard pond to the next level of enjoyment.
Eichenlaub will help you choose the right fish for your water feature.

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h1 style="text-align: center;">Goldfish</h1>
As seen in everything from the local pet store to the carnival, goldfish are popular and plentiful for a reason. Exhibiting bright orange and white colors, these easy to care for fish will happily coexist in the same features as the majestic koi, swimming around the larger fish in dazzling schools. However unlike koi, nearly every feature is right for goldfish. They will happily live in the smallest ponds with minimal care, bringing a splash of color to a courtyard or back patio near you.
