| Salmon water lilies are suitable for smaller ponds. |
| Large waterfalls are magnificent, but most backyards don't have enough room. |

| Fish fed in the same spot everyday can be petted! |

| Land turtles, such as this Herman's tortoise, make nice garden pets, as long as the yard is fenced. Make sure they can get out of the pond easily, should they fall into it, as they could drown. |

| Water tutles, such as this red-eared slider, are cute, but they will eat your fish. |

| Buying leopard frog tadpoles is the best way to insure they will stay around once they morph. |
