My pond was built for my RES (red-eared slider turtles). It's also home
to 10 GF and assorted rosy red minnows plus a huge catfish. If you get
turtles, RES are inexpensive and fairly hardy. They will eat tiny fish,
though -- the GF & minnows were originally bought as food. The survivors
grew and the turtles lost interest in them.

I am interested in adding some critters to my pond to add some additional
interest. I have koi and I like them but I would like some other
interesting critters as well. Frogs are an obvious choice but I am
interested in knowing what other critters I can add that are not harmful
plus will stay around.
I live in Oklahoma. Pond is large enough with waterfall that it does not
freeze over.
Turtles (small) - any problem? Where do I get the "right" kind?
Any suggestions or definite no-no's.
