Planning a Duck Pond with Mosquito Control

A 5×8×5 ft cemented area can work as a natural pond with ducks, plants, and a few fish for mosquito larvae.

Key needs:

24/7 water movement (pump/fountain).
Regular water testing.
Algae control.
Plenty of plants for natural filtration.

Low fish stock + heavy planting = balanced ecosystem. Monitor closely.
