Hi guys, well I finally got my pond up and running. I put some cheap
goldfish in there and they seem to be fine. So thanks to the group for
answering my Q's. Now I'm having a big problem finding Watercress for
my filter. I think it would be the perfect plant as it likes partial
shade and moving water. I've looked at the local grocery stores and on
a few on-line sites with no luck. So does anyone have any they'd be
willing to sell, or know an online site that might have it? It's the
simple things that always stump me. LOL. Thanks for any help, Ouida

Talk to the produce guy at your grocer's, they can often get stuff when
asked, though you may have to buy a box of it, which will run $10-15, or
the price of 1 nice pond plant.

Contrary to what we think of running water, it does great in our ponds
because we are always recirculating. I have it growing in the blocks around
my lily pond. Here I was trying to get terrestrial plants to grow in the
holes and the water cress is out shining all of those. So next year I'll be
planting lots of it instead. Much, much cheaper! ~ jan.
