Keeping Tropical Fish In Pond

Ask Mermaid about Aquarium FishQ: I have a pond at home, and I want to keep fish other than koi. What other species can I keep?

You can try fish that you would normally keep in a tank. Just make sure you don’t overstock your pond, and that the different species of fish can live harmoniously together. You might want to read my previous articles—How To Build a Good Community Tank For Your Fish and Are You Building A Good Aquarium Community?—to familiarize yourself with community fish.

A couple of quick suggestions for newbies, you might want to try tetras and live bearers such as swordtails and guppies. However, a pond with only a top view does no justice to many tropical fish, which can be best appreciated viewed in a glass tank.
