Thanks. There are bluegill, green sunfish, and mosquito fish for sure. Cleaning it tomorrow so I will see what else is living in there.

And invasive parrot's feather... It's not safe to put invasive plants in your pond because they can escape to other local water bodies.
Hopefully I'm misidentifying it.

I'm terrible with plant IDs, but those emergent plants look like coontail?

Coontail (ceratophyllum demersum) emerges from the water this much: http://www.wildabout...lumdemersum.jpg

Here's a parrot's feather ID photo from the Delaware Invasive Species Council: http://delawareinvas...5961447_std.jpg

It is parrot feather and it was collected from nearby waters. There is no way it will make out of the pond here. I'm afraid to say many waterways around here seem to have more invasives than natives.
