One of the main tricks Mother Nature has is
that she has LOTS of water to each fish.

Our garden ponds are overstocked compared
to Mother Nature's ponds and that's where
things start to get out of balance.

That also means that available food to the fish,
zooplankton, insect larvae, algae, worms, snails
and other tasties are available to Mother Nature's
fish and sustains them just fine.
