Adding Fish to Your Fountain

Fountains are not good environments for fish or plants due to the constant motion of the water falling.

Water fountains are beautiful touches to any garden landscape and provide a sense of calm and tranquility. Some of these decorative, artistic, works of art can be seen in hotel lobbies, shopping malls, parks, museums, and other public and private places bringing us hours of enjoyment and relaxation.

The Drawback of Water Fountains:

If you want to fill your water fountain with beautiful fish and gorgeous plants---don't. The falling water is extremely hard on plants and on fish. Water fountains aerate the water too much, making it unhealthy for both plant and fish life, in addition, the continuous falling water generates a turbulent environment, which stress the fish. This turbulence weakens the plant roots and stirrers up sediment.

If you must have a fountain in your yard or garden, then keep it a fountain. When you add a fountain to a pond where animals and plants live this will create an unhealthy environment for both fish and plants. By keeping a fountain a fountain, you can add filters, pumps, and chlorination, which will help to keep your fountain clean, and you won't have to worry about killing plants and fish in the process.
