Characteristics of an ecological pond An ecological pond maintains an internal balance between its various components: plants, bed, fish and microorganisms, with each component contributing its part to the fabric of life.
The water plants are the basis of this balance. They consume nutrients, which would otherwise be consumed by algae, and inject oxygen into the water. Their most important activity is found in the house of the roots, where a habitat is created for microorganisms that break down the polluting substances in the water.
The vegetation is divided into nymphs and bank plants:
Deciduous nymphs in shades of pink and yellow, tropical nymphs blooming day in blue shades and tropical nymphs blooming night in white and pink.
Some of the bank plants are upright, such as: Thalia, Cyperus, Juncus, Iris, Calla and Common reed, and some are sprawling: Centella, Water hyssop and Water clover.
The varieties of fish are goldfish, Comet fish (in orange and yellow) and Shubunkin fish (balloon, black and orange). These fish have a quiet and calm temperament and are not aggressive, they are strong, survive and can live even in cold water.
The quality of the water and the balance of life in it are necessary for the success of the pool and its improvement over the years.
To this end, please make sure:
Do not throw bread and other dough products into the water, these are not digested in the stomach of the fish and harm the quality of the water.
Do not bring in additional animals (such as turtles, or other fish), these will harm the existing balance
Do not enter the pool water
The water is not intended for drinking or bathing.
