Part 7: The Fish Pond & The "Tadpool"
This is a favorite resting stop for Perelandra Open House visitors.
The pond was designed and positioned by nature, dug by Clarence (with a little help from a backhoe), lined by Dupont (it has a plastic liner), filled by the hose, and planted and "rock walled" by Machaelle.
The bio-filter waterfall and pump house were added in 1996. All of this so it can be inhabited by a bunch of frogs, snakes, salamanders, lizards, fish and freshwater clams. Birds and insects like it a lot, too.
The smaller pond to the right — the "tadpool" — was added in the fall of 1998 specifically for the frogs. Their eggs and the young tadpoles are safe in this fish-free pond.
