We are still working on the final appearance of the fountain/fish pond. At this time, we have decided that we wont add any fish for at least the first year. We want to be sure that we have the fountain working right, and then add some water plants and then let those grow for a while.
By the time we are sure that the fountain and pond part is working okay and the plantss are doing fine; we will be getting towards fall, or at the very leas, into the heat of summer.
Even though the fountain is in the front of the house and sheltered by the big trees in the front yard, it still getss really hot in Alabama in the late part of summer, and might be too hot for fish, unless it was a much deeper pond.
Whether we can put goldfish in it or not, by this summer, we should have the fountain finished and be able to enjoy seeing it and listening to the water cascade down from the fountain. Just this will be a wonderful addition to the front of the house.
