My container pond/water garden

@Bluberry Acres thank your for your kind compliments . These ponds have been a source of happiness. The fish are friendly and pop up for food. It’s fun to see them all doing well. They are just regular goldfish . I had fancy koi in the pond for years , after 10 years something ate them all overnight. Even a catfish and pocoustumus or however it’s spelled. They were all huge. 6-8”. It’s funny how we humans even become attached to fish as pets.

My water garden has sadly gone downhill in the past few weeks. It’s been super hot with blazing sun, and the water hyacinths just roasted to a crisp and died. The water lilies and lotus seem to be putting out new leaves, which quickly turn yellow brown and die off. I added some fertilizer which helped the lilies but not the hyacinths. I’ll have to do a clean up this week (which is supposed to be cooler) and try to get some new plants.
