Have your pond or filter system designed (or re-engineered) by Everything Fishy and say goodbye to green
water. We'll be happy to design a pond or water feature to suit your budget. Then we can either work with your
landscaper, directing installation, assist you in doing the job, or install it for you. Your water feature should
suit your budget, your lifestyle, and your time.
Filtration systems should provide both mechanical and biological filtration, and superb clarity, with easy owner maintenance. Regular easy maintenance greatly reduces algae growth and the need for total pond cleanups. This saves you money in the long run.
Plant information: Water Hyacinths are illegal in Texas and most southern states. Texas fines people $100.00 a plant. They are being sold on the Internet and shipped from California into Texas. Texas fines the pond owners, not the shippers. We get calls to buy these every year, we don't have them.
We deliver and install beautiful perennial bog plants and hardy water lilies. We deliver some large goldfish, thick bodied, brilliant red/orange color. Fish are subject to availability. Recommended stocking load for goldfish: 1 adult fish per 100 gallons. Recommended stocking load for koi: 1 mature fish per 500 gallons. We realize most pond owners may choose more fish.
Building a pond? Contractor or DIY, you decide. Pond design tips to save you time, money and grief. Whatever you decide, good filtration is critical to a healthy pond. Aeration helps to control temperature in the summer and enhance conditions for your fish, in addition to allowing many creative options in the way your pond appears, and sounds. The pleasant sound of trickling water, or the roar of a larger waterfall can be arranged.
A pond air pump is a good investment for any pond owner with fish, so if the main pump fails, the fish don't die. Just buy, put in a closet and wait for an emergency. They come in handy.
Aquatic plants enhance the ecosystem by using up nitrates. They also soften and naturalize the appearance of the pond. Water lilies bloom in the morning during the summer months, and provide shade for the fish during the heat of the day.
