That is awesome! It is really pretty. What kind of fish are in there?
I'm putting this in the pets feed because there are fish in this little pond. You probably can't see them, so take my word for it lol ๐ We set up this little pond mainly to grow duckweed and water hyacinth, both of which will be food for our ducks ๐ฆโค We're thinking of trying to grow watercress in it, too (that'll be food for we humans).

If you check YouTube for stuff like "backyard ponds" or "patio ponds" you'll find all sorts of videos (I'll have to make one eventually lol). This one is just using a foldable kiddie pool from Amazon.

it looks great, what kind of fish u have there?

They're called "mosquito fish"! They're native to North America but invasive in other parts of the world. They're sold often for ponds to keep them from becoming a mosquito breeding ground (because they eat the mosquito larvae).

Do you find random wild animals gathered around?

I haven't actually seen them visiting the pond, but there are a few cats that hang out in the yard sometimes, at least one groundhog living under a tree stump, and just today I saw a few deer in the yard. I've seen and heard frogs nearby, but not actually in the pond.
