Practical Fishkeeping Magazine Easy Ponds Edição especial

Pondkeeping has a long history, from the days when monks would keep them to hold fresh food fish, through its evolution to the ornamental designs of the modern day.

Anyone can keep a pond — compact designs mean that in some cases you don’t even need a garden any more! Whether you own a stately
