Koi 

Koi easily become the main attraction to your water garden with their brilliantly bright colors and personalities. These fish have very distinct and vibrant coloring. Koi surprisingly come from the carp family, a very dull colored fish. Koi can usually grow up to two feet. They make great pets because of, amazingly, their personality. Ask any koi owner and they will tell you that each koi has its own character.

 Water Lettuce

Water lettuce is a type of floating aquatic plant and is very similar to the water hyacinth that we discussed last week. Water lettuce look exactly as the name describes, a head of lettuce. Their leaves, however, are very light and almost foamy. If you look very carefully you will be able to see the small white flowers at the base of the plant. Water lettuce are also very good filter feeders for your water feature and provide much needed shade in these hot summer months.
