I have a little deck pond outside the slider.

there are little snails zooming about and
tiny seed shrimp going hither and yon.
My favorite kind of ponding! I love all the
little critters who show up in aquatic
environments. (Mosquitoes excepted!)

Love the critters too. Would a couple of feeder goldfish keep the
skeeters away and not eat the tadpoles? This year the nutria have not
come back here. Momma and 2 babies used to come up from big pond onto
lawn.
Water iris are starting to bloom. I was worried that I didn't have
enough water in their Barrels over winter. Goldfish didn't survive but
have had no Skeeters here.
