If you don't have something in your pond eating
infant fish you are going to be overrun by them.
Animals reproduce over the numbers needed
because they are all food for each other.

Besides adult fish eat dragonfly nymphs.

They bite with their mouths, no stingers on
their tails. Just don't grab one and you'll be
fine.

IF you provide a WATER source Mother Nature takes that
as an open invitation and all sorts of things show
up. From ameobas to algae to worms to insects (over
5,000 live all or part of their lives in water) to frogs, turtles,
newts, snakes, birds, mammals, even plants, etc. The trick is to
know what you can control (very little) and live with what
you can't.
