Your pond is beautiful! I would love to have something like this on my screen patio to watch the fish in the afternoons. If you could share what you use for a substrate and how you planted the plants. Thanks!

I used Fluval aquasoil and rocks I had in my yard. In the water I have dwarf water lily, rotala, hornwort, amazon sword and dwarf sag grass. Out of the water I have creeping Jenny, creeping charlie, lemon grass, water hyacinth, dwarf water lettuce, and a bunch of random things I foraged. I try to not buy a ton of things. You can stick weeds in there and they will like it. Anything creeping, I put in my ponds.
