Indoor Ponds: Overwinter Fish and Plants in Style

Move your water garden indoors before freeze-up. A simple DIY version uses interlocking landscape blocks, a preformed liner, rocks, and plants. Even a kiddie pool disguised with stone works.

Key Differences

• Water garden: goldfish + plants, 2+ ft deep.
• Koi pond: fewer plants, deeper, heavier filtration.

Indoor Care

• Regulate temperature and water quality.
• Transfer fish and plants gently.
• Run pump/filter; monitor ammonia, pH.

An indoor pond saves your aquatic life and becomes a striking winter focal point.
