About me: I love water gardening and have a 15000 gal pond with waterfall and plants galore! Lilies, lotus, shallow water and bog plants. Love to trade what I have for what you have. I also have lots of tropical fish tanks. I also put tilapia in the pond in the spring, and in the fall I collect the little ones and bring them inside and eat the big ones. Dont care for koi much. They just make the pond dirty rooting around in my lily and lotus pots. I also like to keep as many frogs, toads and salamanders around as possible. Im always going out in the spring and collecting eggs to dump in to keep the pond filled with natural wildlife.

My zone is: Nebraska
