Source of life, the
fish pond
will find its place in your garden. It is also a real ornament of tranquility, which will fit particularly well into the decor of a zen or natural garden. Best of all, the garden fish pond will quickly become a real attraction for the whole family. Kids will love feeding the fish, while parents will enjoy having beautiful aquatic plants and surrounding it with colorful flowers. One thing is certain: the garden fish pond will allow you to promote biodiversity in your exterior.
A well-designed fish pond creates a perfectly balanced biotope, capable of developing in complete autonomy.
However, to achieve such a result, it will be essential to choose the shape of your pelvis, the type of material used, the size of the pelvis and, of course, its location.
The latter will play a fundamental role in the success of your pond, since it is considered that the fish need 5 to 6 hours of sunshine per day to be in good health and that the pond should, preferably, remain visible since the house and be located away from the first trees.

What are the ideal dimensions for a garden fish pond?
The choice of a garden pond for fish should not be made at random.
One of the first selection criteria is obviously the size of the pool, which must fit perfectly into your outdoor spaces.
However, which size of garden pond for fish to choose?
The ideal dimensions of a pond for a small garden
The smaller your garden, the more you will need to consider the dimensions of your new garden pond for fish.
To install your pool in a small space, to prevent it occupying your entire outdoor space, or to place it on your terrace, choose a pool of 150 to 200 liters maximum.
A pool of this capacity will be on average 1 m², which will allow you not to lose too much space.
The ideal dimensions of a pond for a large garden
Conversely, if your garden is spacious, you can indulge yourself by choosing a large fish pond, over 500 liters for example.
This is the perfect size to accommodate many fish or larger specimens.
A 500 liter garden pond for fish will have an average size of 2 m², and a 1000 liter pond will occupy an area of 3 to 4 m² on average, depending on the depth chosen.
Where to buy a garden pond for fish?
That's it, it's decided, you are investing in a garden pond for fish, which will have its place right next to your terrace or near your henhouse.
However, where can you find the model that best suits your expectations and the configuration of your garden?
Buy a garden pond for fish in store
Many DIY or gardening stores offer fish ponds.
This is the best option if you absolutely want to see the different models available before purchasing your own.
In store, you will not only be able to see the basins, but also to touch them and analyze them in order to judge their solidity and their ease of cleaning.
Two drawbacks, however: the prices are often more expensive than on the web, and you will automatically have less choice.
Buy a garden pond for fish on the Internet
If you want to have all the choice possible and if you want to take advantage of the promotions offered not only during the sales, but also throughout the year, your best bet is undoubtedly to opt for an online purchase.
Here again, many online shops offer garden ponds for fish, whether they are shops specializing in outdoor spaces or more general shops.
Either way, buying your new garden pond for fish on the web will give you more choice and more savings than buying it in a physical store.
How does a garden pond for fish work?
Do you dream of decorating your garden with a fish pond, but you are afraid that the maintenance will be too difficult?
It all really depends on how you choose between stand-alone maintenance and electrical maintenance.
How does a freestanding fish garden pond work?
A fish pond may not require any maintenance, apart from more or less regular cleaning and feeding the fish.
This is called autonomous basins.
To create an ecosystem in total autarky, your pond must be exposed to light most of the day and have many plants.
The water will thus be constantly enriched with oxygen.
To achieve total autonomy, it will be necessary to choose the plants carefully, as well as the exposure of the pool.
A period of observation and adjustment of a few months is often necessary.
How does an electrified garden fish pond work?
Another solution is to opt for an electrified garden pond for fish.
The latter works the same way as any aquarium, with an electric pump and a filtration system.
This type of pool requires an electricity connection.
Just like the freestanding fish garden pond, it should be cleaned regularly, including the filter and pump.
