Garden pond
A balanced pond: clear water, thriving plants and healthy fish.
In short: caring for a garden pond rests on three pillars — planting properly (the right baskets and compost), keeping the water clear (clarifiers, conditioners) and treating imbalances (algae, disease). AnimalParadise brings these three product families together so you can act at the right time.
Our garden pond departments
- Improve water quality — conditioners, clarifiers and stabilisers for clear, healthy water.
- Compost for aquatic plants — a specific, heavy substrate that is low in soluble nutrients.
- Pond planting baskets — openwork baskets, from small marginal plants to water lilies.
- Pond treatment products — targeted solutions against algae and fish diseases.
Where do I start when setting up a pond?
Plant first: each aquatic plant goes into an openwork basket filled with aquatic compost, then topped with gravel so the soil doesn't cloud the water. Then fill the pond, neutralising the chlorine in tap water with a conditioner. Plants and a good filter do most of the work; treatments only step in when something is out of balance.
Why does my pond water turn green or cloudy?
Green water is caused by suspended micro-algae, encouraged by sunlight and excess nutrients. Cloudy water comes from fine suspended particles. In both cases a clarifier clumps these particles so the filter can trap them; in the longer term, more plants and less fish food keep it in check.
You will also find pond fish food to complete your pond care.
