Being totally ignorant on doctoring sick fish other than aquarium
types for the ick etc, is it necessary to quarrantine or isolate the
fish in a pond? Does salt treatment in a pond affect plants? I guess
I really need to read up on this stuff as its inevitable that someday
I may have a need........

But then again would not a natural pond be less susceptable to a lot
of problems associated with typical backyard ponds?
Not much one can do to change ph and parameters in a 1 acre natural
pond unless money is no object, but it seems to me a natural pond is
pretty well self balanced in its own way for the most part.
